About this study
In plain language
This registry is a contact list for Amish and Mennonite people interested in future medical research. It helps researchers offer studies based on a person's health history and their family's health history. Future studies will focus on learning about health conditions that affect Amish and Mennonite people.
The purpose of this registry is to find members of the Plain Community who are interested in participating in future medical research studies. Having a registry makes it easier to contact and offer study participation to individuals who are appropriate for a new research study based on their own and their family medical history. Studies will focus on increasing knowledge about disorders affecting those who are Amish and Mennonite.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
