Current Participants

To date the COPDGene® Study has enrolled over 8,500 participants, with enrollment steadily increasing weekly. We are excited with the progress and continued interest in the COPDGene® Study and hope to reach our recruitment goal of 10,000 iby the end of 2010.

Your participation in COPDGene® is essential for advancing the treatment options and cure strategies for COPD. As a current participant in the COPDGene® Study, we would like to occasionally check in with you to see how you are doing and get an update on your current health. We call this process longitudinal follow-up and use this information to better understand how COPD changes overtime. Longitudinal follow-up is an essential part of the COPDGene® Study and we need your continued involvement to help us complete this part of the study. To follow your health over time we have carefully designed an easy to use system that asks a very short list of questions pertaining to your current health status. This survey only takes a couple of minutes to complete and can be done either by phone or by web. Several times a year we will contact you either by phone or with an email asking you to complete this survey.
