Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Diverse Populations
Do you have Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease? Researchers at IBDGC are partnering with individuals of diverse ancestry to learn more about the genetics of inflammatory bowel disease. Join our compensated study today!
Fast Facts
confirmed crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis
Identify as Black/african, Latino/hispanic, and/or native american
Compensation Provided
Conducted nationwide
Study Background
Our researchers invite you to join The Genetics of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Diverse Populations: An IBD Biobank Study. We are recruiting thousands of ethnically diverse individuals as part of a multi-site effort across the United States and Canada with high quality clinical data and DNA samples.
If you identify as:
- African
- African American
- Black
- Afro-Caribbean
- Afro-Latino/a/x
- Latino/a/x
- Hispanic
- Native American
- Any other Black or Latin background
and have a diagnosis of Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis, you may be eligible to participate.
Your participation in this study may help future researchers in personalizing treatment approaches for inflammatory bowel disease. Further research today and join our compensated study!
