Thank you for your interest in participating in this study!

 

Participation in this study will involve:

• Collecting your stool sample at home using a stool collection kit that we will provide.

• Depositing your sample at a drop-box. A sensor in the drop-box will remotely alert research personnel that a sample has been deposited. Research personnel will collect the sample 5 minutes after its delivery to avoid face-to-face contact between study participants and research personnel at the time of sample delivery. 

​​

The purpose of this research study is to identify and understand the functions of the microorganisms residing within peoples’ guts. It is hoped that the information learned from this study will help researchers to better prevent and treat disease.

 

To determine if you qualify for this study, the first step is to take the anonymous online questionnaire in the link provided below. This is completely voluntary, and you may stop answering the questions at any time.
