How to join

Studying Respiratory Illnesses

• We want to learn how respiratory illnesses spread, how they impact people's lives, and what we can do to stop people from getting sick. 
• Study activities include surveys, nasal swabs and blood draws for some participants.

Enrolling in the Greater Boston Area

• Our study welcomes people of all ages living in Boston, Chelsea, Cambridge, Revere and surrounding neighborhoods.
• Your home address must be in our study area as our drivers are only able to pick up swabs from certain zip codes. See Map

An Interest in Households

• A household is a group of people who all live together, just like a family or group of friends.
• We would love to enroll whole households to study how respiratory illnesses spread from person to person, and how they impact everyone in the home.
• Individuals can also enroll just by themselves.
