Here is the official “Black community” All of Us Research Program- Approved Social Media Surge Week Caption:

“Why is it important to have many Black and/or African American people join the Program? Researchers can look for patterns in our health, and they can look for patterns in our life circumstances. These patterns could help them learn why people in our community are more likely to get a disease. Learn how you can help by signing up at allof-us.org/lets-enroll

LGBTQ+ people have often been left out of medical research. The Program is working to change that by helping researchers understand our unique experiences. Sign up at allof-us.org/lets-enroll

12/08/2022

The Program wants to know about the health of the Hispanic/Latino community. This may help researchers learn more about what makes us sick and what keeps us healthy. Learn how you can help by signing up at allof-us.org/lets-enroll.

The All of Us Research Program is a historic effort to accelerate research and improve health. The more we know about what makes people unique, the more customized health care can become. Learn how you can help by signing up at allof-us.org/lets-enroll

Many communities are unintentionally left out of health research. When this happens, researchers know less about their health. It’s time for health research to include everyone, including older adults.

Why is it important to have many Black and/or African American people join the Program? Researchers can look for patterns in our health, and they can look for patterns in our life circumstances. These patterns could help them learn why people in our community are more likely to get a disease.

Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders have unique health concerns, but research studies in the U.S. have rarely included us.The Program wants to change that. Learn how you can share your health information to help researchers address the health problems in our community at allof-us.org/lets-enroll
