CSDE Affiliate Kris Pui Kwan Ma (Family Medicine) recently published a research article in PLOS One titled, “Participant engagement in a national longitudinal study of COVID-19: Insights from the INSPIRE study.” In this article, Dr. Ma and co-authors detail how public and patient engagement is an important practice in public health research that helps inform interventions and policies to improve people’s lives, but the COVID-19 pandemic and the emergence of Long COVID have presented both challenges and opportunities for strengthening participant engagement in research. The objective of this research article is to examine participants’ motivations and their experiences throughout a decentralized, longitudinal COVID-19 study in the U.S. To read more about Dr. Ma and her co-authors’ findings and results, visit this link.
