Summary

Background:

COVID-19 affected African Americans more than Whites. African Americans, especially women, have had higher rates of COVID-19 infections compared to Whites. They are also more likely to go to the hospital or die of this disease. Many researchers who looked into these issues lacked background data on the people they studied. SELF is a 10-year study of fibroids in African American women aged 23-35. Researchers already have a lot of data on these women. Asking how COVID-19 affected them can add context other studies lack.

Objective:

To describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on young African American women and their families.

Eligibility:

Participants must be enrolled in SELF (Study of Environment, Lifestyle, and Fibroids).

Design:

Researchers will invite all women enrolled in SELF to participate in this natural history study.

Participants will complete one questionnaire. They will answer the questions online. They may also choose to get a paper copy sent by mail. The survey will take no more than 15-20 minutes.

All questions will relate to COVID-19. Participants will be asked if they had COVID-19. They will be asked if family, friends, or members of their community did. They will answer questions about their vaccine status and access to health care services.

Participants will also answer questions about how the pandemic affected their lives. They will be asked about their job and if finding childcare was a challenge. They will be asked about money problems and how they coped. They will be asked about sleep problems and emotional distress.

Participants will get a $30 gift card after they finish the survey.
