Everyone can make a difference during this pandemic by contributing to research. Sharing important information not just about your health but how you\u2019ve been impacted emotionally, socially, economically, and other ways will help inform decisions that benefit all of us,\u201d said Sunita Dodani, MBBS, PhD, Professor of Internal Medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS), Director of HADSI and member of the Federation of American Scientists\u2019 COVID-19 Rapid Response <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=bntz0S71UrqiaPtneBNtEKWRJRC_n_YO0a-Y3kqkWOWQcfd0phuJmYBT4ebEypA5m5ml8M5Mq7aRRwZafmkiRjC1z5wKL4CGPlDjA4ttVRA=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Task Force<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">COVIDsmart differs from other COVID-19 studies because it will give back aggregate de-identified study data to participants, so they can see how the pandemic has impacted them and their community. The study will also provide participants with resources and information \u2014 such as health and safety recommendations from governmental organizations \u2014 to help them protect themselves and their communities from COVID-19 infection.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cAs we look to the future, policymakers will require a deep understanding of the multi-faceted impact of the pandemic on people and on our public health infrastructure,&#8221;\u00a0said Virginia Secretary of Health and Human Resources, Daniel Carey, MD, MHCM.\u00a0&#8220;Studies like this one can help us to fully assess the effects of COVID-19 and chart a path forward.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">To represent the full picture of COVID\u2019s impact, the study aims to recruit individuals who are diverse in age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, race, and culture to reflect Virginia\u2019s diversity and to include groups historically underrepresented in biomedical research.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cDiversity in COVID-19 research is essential for the public health decision-makers to accurately address disparities, such as infection rates, access to testing, health care, unemployment and availability of support services,\u201d said Amira Roess, an epidemiologist and professor in the Department of Global and Community Health at George Mason University. \u201cOur goal with COVIDsmart is to gain and share knowledge that will aid public health organizations in giving guidance and dedicating resources that will help minimize the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and any other future health crises among individuals, their families and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">COVIDsmart uses a privacy-protecting, secure platform, provided by Vibrent Health, developers of the technology platform for NIH\u2019s <i>All of Us<\/i> Research Program. The platform, which was built to collect many types of data from diverse populations, can expand to accommodate broad data sources such as wearables and biospecimens, depending on the needs of the longitudinal study. COVIDsmart\u2019s anonymized results will be made available to researchers and public health policy officials to help guide them in identifying at-risk communities that are disproportionately affected by COVID-19. These insights can help direct resources and services where they are most needed during the coronavirus pandemic and any potential future health crisis.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cOne of the valuable features of COVIDsmart is that participants can engage in the study virtually and remotely,\u201d said Vibrent Health CEO Praduman \u201cPJ\u201d Jain. \u201cTechnology allows us to reach people wherever they are, so that everyone can have a voice and make an impact in this important health research.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The study is open to anyone at least 18 years old living in Virginia and will gather information about participants\u2019 experiences through the course of the pandemic. The study consists of easy-to-understand online surveys.\u00a0 As an incentive to participants, COVIDsmart offers gift card drawings for those who stay active in the study.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n        <b>To learn more about COVIDsmart, visit: <\/b><br \/>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=wn39bB1YNYbH4n7o3TKm2MZfu4xh8gYOFu5Q_7Dv3wbTz_Sevv09n5Bi3tOCZGZwlT8BWF37Fu-b9IVJxKJcUYovRFQysMO3_oloQoJYqI8=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n          <b>www.covidsmartstudy.org<\/b><br \/>\n        <\/a>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n        <b>About HADSI<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">EVMS-Sentara Healthcare Analytics and Delivery Science Institute (HADSI) is committed to improved patient outcomes through enhanced analytics.\u00a0 A partnership between Eastern Virginia Medical School and Sentara Healthcare, the institute designs, implements and evaluates clinical research, healthcare delivery system evaluation, health economic analysis, and patient-centered outcome effectiveness projects.
