What this research studies
The All of Us Pennsylvania (AOU PA) program focuses on promoting health research equity by enrolling diverse participants from underrepresented and disadvantaged neighborhoods. This initiative aims to gather health data from a million individuals across the U.S., with a significant emphasis on community engagement and partnership. The program utilizes community-based ambassadors and research hubs to facilitate outreach and enrollment, ensuring that local voices are heard and valued in the research process. By leveraging existing community relationships, AOU PA seeks to create a robust infrastructure for ongoing participant engagement.
