What to Expect
Create an Account
Provide your name and email address or mobile phone number to enroll. You will also need to create a password.

Give Your Consent
Once you’ve created your account, you will be asked to give your consent. This includes reviewing a series of videos, which will provide more detailed information about the program. These describe all the types of information you may be asked to give. Once you feel comfortable that you know what to expect, and if you are ready to give your consent, you’ll electronically sign the consent form. You can do all of this from your computer, tablet, or smartphone, or at a partner center. (15 to 20 minutes)

Agree to Share Your Electronic Health Records
As part of the consent process, we will ask you to agree to share your electronic health records (EHR). Sharing your EHR is your choice. If you decide not to share your EHR, you can still participate by answering health surveys. But you will not be asked to take part in some other aspects of the program.

Complete the Consent to Get DNA Results
Your DNA results could include information about your ancestry (which is where your family comes from), your genetic traits, whether you have an increased risk for getting certain health conditions, and how your body might react to certain medications. You may want to know this information or you may not. (15 to 20 minutes)

Answer Health Surveys
Once you have enrolled and given your consent, answer the health-related questions, which will help to build the All of Us database. Researchers can access this database to conduct their studies.
Surveys include:
- Basic Information (10 to 15 minutes)
- Overall Health (15 to 20 minutes)
- Lifestyle (15 to 20 minutes)

Schedule Enrollment Visit
You may be invited to visit one of our partner centers to have your physical measurements taken (height, weight, blood pressure, etc.) and provide biosamples (blood and urine). You will be able to choose the partner location most convenient for you.

Why Should I Join?
If you join, you will be contributing to research that may improve health for everyone. Research may help develop:
- Better tests to see if people are sick or are at risk of getting sick.
- Better mobile apps to encourage healthy habits.
- Better medicine or information about how much of a medicine is right for each person as an individual.
Also, you will be able to see your All of Us information, which might be interesting to you. If you choose, you will be able to share your All of Us information with your doctor.
