Understanding Environmental Exposures and Your Health
This observational study aims to understand how everyday environmental factors like pollution, diet, and stress affect your body and contribute to diseases like inflammation or metabolic conditions. Researchers want to collect biological samples (like blood, hair, or saliva) and health information from up to 2000 adults to learn more about these connections. This study is not testing a specific treatment, but rather observing how your body responds to your environment over time. To join, you need to be between 18 and 90 years old, speak English, and be willing to share your health information and samples. The study is currently ongoing, meaning they are still collecting information.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information and samples without giving any specific intervention. Up to 2000 participants will be included.
- What's involved
- You will be screened with questions about your health history and medicines. You may be asked to provide samples such as blood, hair, stool, saliva, and/or urine.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoint (what researchers are looking for) is measured on an ongoing basis, suggesting continued observation.
