Study: Immunocompromised and worried about COVID-19?

If you have a condition that indicates you are immunocompromised with a CD4 < 350, and you have received a COVID-19 Omicron vaccine booster within the last 7 weeks, or plan to receive a booster in the near future, you may be eligible for free antibody testing and the opportunity for future participation in COVID-19 prevention studies.

What to Expect

First, sign up with your email and fill out a short questionnaire to find out whether you qualify to be a part of a registry. If you do, a Patient Experience Coordinator (Science 37 Study Team Member) will contact you to obtain any previous antibody test results, or help you obtain a new test.

If you qualify, and you haven’t recently had COVID-19 antibody test results, you will have the option to obtain a blood draw at a laboratory close to you at no cost.

Your participation may qualify you for an upcoming investigational monoclonal antibody COVID-19 prevention study.

Doctoral Candidates' at the Washington State University Dept. of Psychology are creating a questionnaire that will help researchers and health care providers better understand transgender patients’ needs and experiences.

TRANS HEALTH STUDY: We are creating a questionnaire to help researchers and health care providers better understand transgender patients’ needs and experiences. You are eligible to participate if you identify as transgender, are 18+ years of age, are fluent in English, and are located in the United States. Participating in this study would involve completing a 15-minute online survey. The first 200 eligible participants who complete the survey will receive a $10 Amazon gift card for their time (see criteria at the link below).

• We are looking for transgender people willing to take a 15-minute online survey about their experiences in health care.
• We are offering a $10 Amazon gift card to compensate the first 200 participants for their time. Please note that we will only compensate ONE eligible participant per household.
• To be eligible to participate, you need to identify as transgender, be 18 or older, fluent in English, and located in the United States.

You are eligible to participate if you identify as transgender, are over the age of 18, are located in the United States, and have had a health care visit in the past year.

Our study has been approved by the Washington State University Institutional Review Board, and we are happy to answer questions you might have about the study. Please reach out to Kyle Schofield ([email protected]) if you have any questions or concerns. 

We are researchers affiliated with Syracuse University who are interested in better understanding LGBTQ+ individuals living in New York. We are recruiting folks who identify with diverse sexual identities (e.g., gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, asexual, pansexual, demi-sexual, same-gender-loving) and gender identities (e.g., trans, nonbinary, gender fluid, agender, cisgender). Specifically, the purpose of our research study is to identify ways that LGBTQ+ folks living in New York have been affected by trauma, including their coping strategies, mental health, and help-seeking experiences.    

We are recruiting participants to take part in our online research study, consisting of a brief (5-minute) screener to determine eligibility. After, eligible participants will be invited to the main study, which involves a 45-60-minute online survey. Thus, the entire research study will be completed online and take approximately 65 minutes total. You must be at least 18 years old to participate.    

By participating in this paid study, you will be entered into a raffle to win one of 4 $25 Amazon gift cards (for an alternative payment method, please email study staff at [email protected]). Should you be chosen as a winner (1.1% chance of winning), you will be sent the gift card via the email address you provide in the compensation survey.  You can also earn $10 if you are eligible and participate in a 45-60-minute online survey immediately following the screener survey.     

Please complete the following brief (< 5 minutes), online Eligibility Screening Questionnaire at your earliest convenience to confirm eligibility for this study. You can click the following link (or “cut and paste” the link into your preferred Internet browser): https://bit.ly/36jNfN6
