Brief summary
COVID-19 Active Research Experience (CARE) is an observational, direct-to-participant, web-based, longitudinal study of adults with COVID-19 or COVID-19 like illness or who were vaccinated against COVID-19 to better understand risk factors, symptoms, and treatments for COVID-19 illness and vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Detailed description
This is an observational, direct-to-participant, web-based, longitudinal study of adults with COVID-19 or COVID-19 like illness to better understand risk factors, symptoms, and treatments for COVID-19 illness and vaccine safety and effectiveness. Upon consent and enrollment, participants will complete an initial baseline survey reporting their demographics, relevant medical history, testing, vaccination, symptoms, use of prescription medications as well as use of supplements and other factors. The study follow-up period is 12 months. During the first month of follow-up participants will be invited to complete a symptom diary weekly to gauge symptom progression and severity and to provide updates on pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions as well as healthcare encounters. Reporting will then reduce to monthly for Month 2 through 12.
