Research database and biorepository for lung disease in veterans and contractors

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This research initiative aims to create a comprehensive database and biorepository for individuals who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom, as well as civilian contractors involved in these operations. The study will collect clinical and exposure data, alongside blood samples, to better understand deployment-related lung diseases such as bronchiolitis. Participants will provide informed consent, and their clinical data will be gathered as part of routine care, ensuring no additional procedures are required. The collected information will help characterize each case and contribute to future research on lung diseases in this population.
