Three Reasons to Join the All of Us Research Program

Three Reasons to Join the All of Us Research Program

The All of Us Research Program empowers you to learn about your health and supports researchers to understand health and disease. By studying diverse data from one million (or more) participants like you, researchers may make discoveries that could improve health for all of us in the future. All of our data combined may allow researchers to connect the dots between our lifestyle, genetics, and our environment.

WHY SHOULD I JOIN?

  1. Today’s research may lead to tomorrow’s discoveries. Be included.

In the past, medical research has left many people behind. The All of Us Research Program wants to change that by including everyone. Only when all communities are part of medical research can all of us benefit from future medical advances.

  1. You have the power to help researchers find answers to tough health questions.

As researchers study our health data, they start to see patterns. These patterns can help us understand how different people react to different prevention and treatment plans. We hope that, in the future, our findings will help health care providers deliver treatments that are tailored to our differences.

  1. Get health information that matters to you, including DNA results at no cost.

When you join, you can get information about yourself, like your weight and blood pressure. In the future, you can choose to receive your genetic results along with guidance on what it means. Your results may tell you about your risk for certain diseases or how your body responds to certain medications. Information about your DNA may help you and your health care providers make health decisions that are better informed and as unique as you are.
