Enrolling in the study takes less than 30 minutes. Individuals will read and sign an informed consent form, complete a brief survey, have their waist circumference measured, and give a small blood sample. From home, participants complete a comprehensive survey about lifestyle, behavioral, and other factors related to their health. The American Cancer Society will send follow-up surveys to update participant information and newsletters with study updates and results. The initial and follow-up surveys completed at home take less than an hour to complete.
