What this research studies
If you join, you would be asked to share basic health information, contact details, and possibly provide biosamples and permission for ongoing follow-up. The team plans to enroll about 2,500 adults using a population-based sampling approach that focuses on South Asian, Korean, Filipino, and Southeast Asian neighborhoods. Community partners who already work with local Asian groups will help with outreach and enrollment in selected Chicago-area census tracts. Participation would include active follow-up so researchers can track health over time and link data to the larger All of Us Research Program.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults aged 21 and older who identify as Asian American or Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander and live in the Chicago metropolitan area are the main candidates for participation.
Not a fit: People under 21, those who do not identify with the targeted Asian or NHPI groups, or those living outside the selected Chicago-area locations are unlikely to benefit from participating.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could lead to better knowledge of health risks and more culturally tailored prevention and care for Asian American and NHPI communities.
How similar studies have performed: This approach builds on successful community-engaged enrollment models like the All of Us program and prior cohort efforts that improved participation of underrepresented groups.
