Study Follow-Up Activities
What are the follow-up surveys?
We may ask you to complete follow-up surveys up to two times per year over the next 10 to 20 years. These surveys will help us understand how your health changes over time.
What happens if I move or change my contact information while I am in the study?
You can visit the “Contact Us” tab on this website to send us a message with your new contact information. You can also email us directly at SEHstudy@vumc.org or call 1-(855) 710-9489.
Can I get the results of my blood, urine, and saliva tests?
The purpose of the analyses of your blood, urine, and saliva is to measure your environmental exposures and to measure some markers of your current health status, rather than to diagnose diseases, so we will not be providing the results of these tests to participants. We will provide all overall findings on our website and in our newsletter to make sure any trends or regional findings are given back to you.
