The All of Us Research Program at UW–Madison is part of a national effort to enroll one million or more people in a diverse health research database to help speed up research breakthroughs in the prevention and treatment of a range of diseases.
Although participation is open to anyone 18+, the program is especially focused on the inclusion of underrepresented populations, such as the African-American, Latinx, LGBTQ, and 65+ communities. Health data from diverse people will help fill gaps in knowledge about why people get sick or stay healthy. The new data could help researchers develop new and better treatments that benefit all of us.
