Disparities in Response to the All of Us Research Program COVID-19 Participant Experience (COPE) Survey

Abstract

This study demonstrated the successful longitudinal recruitment of a large number of diverse participants to the COPE survey in a very short time, empowered by the All of Us Research Program, its infrastructure, and databases. Despite the disparity of response rates across demographic groups, the data collected in the COPE surveys will enable researchers to investigate how the pandemic differentially affects diverse populations and their health status across the United States. Additionally, the findings highlight the need for future research aimed at improving response rates among underrepresented groups, ensuring the All of Us Research Program achieves its goals of diversity and inclusivity in research.
