Description

The All of Us Research Program is a historic effort to gather information from one million or more people living in the United States. All of Us is a research program funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The mission of the All of Us Research Program is to accelerate health research and medical breakthroughs, enabling individualized prevention, treatment, and care for all of us.

BENEFITS AND RISKS OF PARTICIPATING

• You will not get direct medical benefit from taking part in All of Us.
• That said, you may indirectly benefit from taking part in All of Us. For example, we will provide ways for you to get access to all of the data you share with us and some of the results about you. This information may be interesting to you.
• You may learn about your health. You will be able to share your All of Us information with your healthcare provider if you choose. Finally, you will be helping researchers make discoveries that may help future generations.
• The main risk of taking part in All of Us is to your privacy. A data breach is when someone sees or uses data without permission. If there is a data breach, someone could see or use the data we have about you.
• We will gather data from you through the All of Us app and/or website. You may be asked to wear a fitness tracker. There is a risk to your privacy whenever you use an app, website, or fitness tracker.
• Researchers will use basic facts like your race, ethnic group, and sex in their studies. This data helps researchers learn if the things that affect health are the same in different groups of people.
• If you give a blood sample, the most common risks are brief pain and bruising. Some people may become dizzy or feel faint. There is also a small risk of infection.
• Taking part in All of Us may have risks that we don't know about yet. We will tell you if we learn anything that might change your decision to take part.

Genomics

• If you join All of Us and provide your biosamples (such as blood, saliva, and/or urine), we will analyze your DNA for research. This may take some time.
• When we process your DNA, we will be able to check your DNA for information that you may be interested in. Some examples include ancestry, traits, or certain health-related DNA results that you can then discuss with your health care provider.
• You will be able to choose whether to get your DNA results.
• You will be able to talk with a genetic counselor from our Genetic Counseling Resource about your DNA results.
