Racial Disparities in Cardiovascular Health Study

Racial Disparities in Cardiovascular Health Study 
Seeking Ethnically Diverse Participants

A research study is being conducted that requires information from people of African descent or any other non-Western European descent. A brief health history will be collected and a small amount of blood taken (about 50mL which is 1/10th of a standard Red Cross blood donation). Participants will be compensated $35 for each blood donation. There are a few exclusions. Participants must be 18 years old or older, not pregnant, not on daily blood thinning medications (including aspirin and ibuprofen), not diagnosed with a bleeding disorder, and must be willing to come to the University of Utah for a blood draw. This study is funded by the NIH and IRB approved. Click here for more information or email shugo@genetics.utah.edu.
