Amish/Mennonite Research Contact Registry
This study is creating a registry, which is a list of people, from the Amish and Mennonite communities in western Pennsylvania who are interested in participating in future medical research. The goal is to make it easier to find individuals who might be a good fit for new studies based on their health history. This registry will help researchers learn more about health conditions that affect these communities. You can join if you are an Amish or Mennonite adult (18 or older), or a child with parent permission. The registry aims to gather 1000 participants and is currently ongoing.

What this trial measures
- Accumulation and clinical definition of a patient population who are willing to participate in future research studies for which they are eligible.This registry is intended to be an ongoing resource for recruitment into future research studies and will be maintained up to 14 years.
This research registry is intended to allow for identification of patients from the Plain Communities who are willing to participate in medical research. Eligibility for each future study will likely cary and patients will be selected and contacted with their permission, by dint of having consented to this registry, about the option of participating in a new research study.
