Frequently Asked Questions
What will you ask me to do?

If you decide to join All of Us, we will ask you to share different kinds of information. We will ask you basic information like your name and where you live. We will ask you questions about your health, family, home, and work. If you have an electronic health record, we may ask for access. We may ask you to go to a local clinic or drug store for a free appointment with us. At this appointment we would measure your weight, height, hips, and waist, as well as your blood pressure and heart rate. We might ask you to give samples, like blood or urine, at the appointment. We also want to know if you will want information about your DNA.

Why should I join the All of Us Research Program?

If you join, you will be contributing to research that may improve health for everyone and for future generations. Our goal is to understand how different factors together affect health and speed up research to develop new and tailored treatments. Here are some examples of what researchers might be able to discover from their research:

  • Better tests to see if people are sick or are at risk of getting sick.
  • Better mobile apps to encourage healthy habits.
  • Better information about which or how much of a medicine is right for each person.

Also, you will be able to see your All of Us information, which might be interesting to you. It may help you learn about your health. Adult participants may also learn about their DNA, if they choose to. Participants can share any information they receive from All of Us with their doctor, if they choose.

What is the All of Us Research Program?

The All of Us Research Program is a large research program. The goal is to help researchers understand more about why people get sick or stay healthy. The All of Us Research Program is part of the Precision Medicine Initiative®.

We hope that more than one million people will join the All of Us Research Program. People who join may share information about their health, habits, and what it’s like where they live. By looking for patterns in this information, researchers may learn more about what affects people’s health.

The All of Us Research Program will last for 10 years or more. This will allow researchers to study health over time.

If you decide to join the All of Us Research Program, you will be contributing to an effort to improve the health of generations to come. You also may learn about your own health.
