Pre-Visit Instructions for Blood and Urine Data Collection

The day of your visit:

• We will ask you to collect a small amount of your urine (about 2-1/2 ounces) in a cup we provide.

  • We may use your urine for research studies that include biological, genetic and environmental testing based on the permission you gave during the Informed Consent process.

• We will collect a small amount (about 3 tablespoons) of your blood using a small needle.

  • We are trained medical professionals who know how to take blood safely. People sometimes feel brief pain when blood is taken, and there is a very small risk of infection, bruising, bleeding, or fainting.

  • We may use your blood for research studies that include biological, genetic and environmental testing based on the permission you gave during the Informed Consent process

Please remember:

• This is a research study and we cannot give you medical advice. None of the Study visits take the place of your regular doctor or clinic visits.
