Kaiser Permanente Researchers want to better understand acute respiratory illness (ARI). Respiratory illness can include coughing, sore throat, and/or sneezing, sometimes called “the flu.” For this research study we want to understand the burden of respiratory illness for our Kaiser members, how it impacts the quality of life and the cost of the illness. What we learn from the ARIA Study will inform the development of efforts to prevent or treat ARI in the future.

We are recruiting Kaiser members who fit the criteria below:

• Kaiser Permanente member
• Recent visit (video, phone, or in-person) at which your doctor noted a diagnosis that may be due to acute respiratory illness.
• We are inviting members who are at home when they received their diagnosis of ARI and members who are in hospital with a diagnosis of ARI.

For people who meet these criteria, we will either email an invitation to members or reach out while they are in hospital. If you have not been contacted by the ARIA study team by email or phone call, you are unable to participate in ARIA.

Participation in Sick Mix is by invitation only. You will receive an email from us if you are eligible to participate.

If you have received an email from us and do not want to participate, please:

• Email: CHR_Sickmix@kpchr.org

We will remove you from our list to avoid getting additional emails.

The goal of the Sick Mix study is to assess how daily human contact patterns change for people who are sick with acute gastroenteritis (AGE) or acute respiratory illness (ARI) and their household contacts.

We are recruiting Kaiser members who fit the criteria below:

• Kaiser Permanente member
• Recent visit (video, phone, or in-person) at which your doctor noted a diagnosis that may be due to AGE or ARI.

To people who meet these criteria, we will email an invitation to participate in Sick Mix. If you do not receive an email from us, you are unable to participate in Sick Mix.

Participation in SAGE is by invitation only. You will receive an email from us if you are eligible to participate.

If you have received an email from us and do not want to participate, please:

• Click the opt out link in your email;
• Call the study team at: 866-248-0647 or 503-335-6611; or
• Email: CHR_SAGE@kpchr.org

The Study of Acute Gastroenteritis (SAGE) wants to study the occurrence, causes, and impact of medically attended acute gastroenteritis in the community. With a focus on norovirus infection, we are also looking at strain types circulating in the community and immune response.

We are recruiting Kaiser members who fit the criteria below:

• Kaiser Permanente member
• Recent visit (video, phone, or in-person) at which your doctor noted a diagnosis that may be due to acute gastroenteritis.

For people who meet these criteria, we will email an invitation to participate in SAGE. If you do not receive an email from us, you are unable to participate in SAGE.

Some people who receive an email from SAGE may also receive an email from SickMix.

These are different studies. If you receive emails from SAGE and SickMix, you may choose to participate both, one of them, or neither.

The HPV 1 Dose (H1D) study is looking at the immune response in children who have had one dose of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. If your child was aged 9 through 12 when they received the vaccine, and received just one dose of the HPV vaccine one to four years ago they may be eligible to take part. The goal of this study is to help us understand if the immune response to one dose of HPV vaccine is similar in females and males.

If you and your child decide to join the study, you will be asked to:

• Complete a web-based survey to see if your child is eligible to join the study
• Complete an in-person or virtual (phone/webinar) visit with study staff to hear more about the study and complete the consent form
• Bring your child to the research clinic to provide a blood sample, or help your child collect blood at home using a device called Tasso+
• Complete a short survey about HPV vaccination

Parents or Guardians will be given a $50 gift card after completion of these events, on behalf of your child. If you decide to have your child’s blood collected in-clinic, we will give you another $25 gift card ($75 total) to help with transportation costs.

Our research clinic is located on the Interstate Campus in North Portland. Limited appointments may also be offered on the Sunnyside Campus in SE Portland.  Or you can choose to complete all study activities from your home.

This study is sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Connect for Cancer Prevention Study wants to better understand the causes of cancer and how to prevent it. Kaiser Permanente Northwest with partner health care systems across the country is partnered with the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), for Connect. The research study will include 200,000 adults who get their health care from a partner health care system.

Participants will be asked to answer online health surveys, donate samples of blood, urine, and saliva, and share access to their electronic health records. This information will help researchers study the health and behavior patterns that may affect cancer risk. It takes time to understand the causes of cancer, so Connect will go on for many years. The longer you participate, the more we may learn.

Do you suffer from insomnia? Do you have prediabetes? If so, you may be eligible to join a research study and receive treatment for insomnia at no cost to you. Scientists at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research are studying whether treating insomnia can help people with prediabetes.

The study, called Sleep for Health, requires 10 visits to the Center for Health Research, located on the Kaiser Permanente campus at 3800 N. Interstate Ave., Portland, Oregon. If you participate, you will be reimbursed for your time and travel expenses.

By providing a blood sample and completing a survey, Kaiser Permanente members can help researchers understand how our genes, environment, and behavior interact to influence our risk for diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, mental illness, and obesity. The goal of the KP Research Bank is to improve the health of our members and your community.
