The Healthy Oregon Project (HOP) is a research study focused on cancer research. It has successfully recruited over 35,000 participants, representing over 1% of the adult population in Oregon, using smartphone-based communication and social media. The study emphasizes the importance of collecting comprehensive survey and biological data for collaborative research. HOP also offers genetic health screening for cancer risk and aims to improve early detection strategies. Efforts have been made to engage participants through various methods, including in-person events and social media campaigns. The study population is diverse, but there are challenges in terms of long-term engagement and demographic limitations. The authors suggest integrating HOP with other similar projects across the US to diversify the population base and provide equal access to research cohorts. The study provides a cost-effective approach for establishing large-scale cohorts for cancer research. [Extracted from the article] |
