HAVE YOU TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19? Join Our Study and Help Researchers Learn More About the Long-Term Effects on Cardiovascular and Mental Health!

Overview

DID YOU KNOW?... Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is infecting more than 10% of the world’s population.
 
COVID-19 affects individuals in different ways, and it’s hard to tell why some people who have had COVID-19 have more longer-term consequences, such as changes to their cardiovascular system and their mental health, than others.
 
That is why researchers at Indiana University are conducting a study to learn more about how extensive these longer-term consequences are for some people.
 
Your participation will help researchers gain insights and knowledge that could lead to future treatments to treat the longer-term effects of COVID-19.
