Can my Health History Help Solve the COVID-19 Crisis?

“Can My Health History Help Solve the COVID crisis?” The answer is YES! Two large national longitudinal health studies are actively recruiting LGBTQ participants. Mahri Bahati of PRIDEnet and Dr. Jeff Whittle representing the All of Us study will present how their studies have used data they’d already gathered to contribute to understanding COVID-19. They’ll describe the studies’ privacy and security issues, study aims, results so far, and how people can enroll.

Speakers: Jeffrey C. Whittle, MD, MPH, and Mahri Bahati, MPH
