Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The HERO Registry provides a resource for collecting information on Healthcare Workers (HCWs) currently working in the United States, and their families and communities. The overall goal of the Registry is to develop the infrastructure necessary to create and engage a community of people who may be eligible for participation in future research studies, including those of COVID-19 prophylaxis and treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The HERO Registry provides a resource for collecting information on Healthcare Workers (HCWs) currently working in the United States, and their family members and communities. The overall goal of the Registry is to create and engage a community of HCWs and their families and communities who may be eligible for participation in future research studies, including those of COVID-19 prophylaxis and treatment. The HERO registry will create a repository of adults interested in COVID-19 research that can be eligible for future research studies. The main objectives of the study are 1) create a virtual community of adult HCWs in the United States, and their families and communities, 2) Identify adults interested in engaging in upcoming research studies, including those related to COVID-19, and 3) Create a dataset of health related measurements, risk factors, and outcomes for future analysis. The population of interest is adult healthcare workers in the United States, and their families and communities.

All analysis of the HERO Registry will be exploratory in nature. Analysis may include descriptive statistics of the cohort, statistical associations between variables of interest, and predictive modeling for health outcomes and behaviors. Analyses may be conducted on all participants in the HERO Registry or may be conducted on subpopulations defined based on clinical, demographic or other factors.

There is no direct benefit to the participants for their participation in this study, but the information obtained will be used in scientific research and may be helpful to the participant or others in the future. Participants may experience indirect benefits such as learning about their own health, access to health data, and opportunities to participate in future research.

HCWs currently working in the US, and their families and communities

The HERO Registry will include HCWs currently working across the United States, and their families and communities. For the purposes of this study, a "healthcare worker" is defined as an individual who currently works in a setting where individuals receive healthcare. (Note: individuals do not have to work directly with patients, but may have any role within a setting where individuals receive healthcare, such as housekeeping, food service, etc.)

No interventions assigned to this group
