  • Questionnaires: All participants will complete a baseline questionnaire and follow-up questionnaires. We will email you a link to access and/or our site coordinator will call to help you complete.
  • You will complete 1 questionnaire right after joining the study that will take about 30-60 minutes.
  • You will also complete follow-up questionnaires. Each will take about 30-60 minutes.
  • Bloodwork: All participants will have blood drawn at the start of the study. Ideally this will be the same bloodwork you do at one of your regular clinic appointments.
