Identifying who is most at risk of contracting COVID-19 and why some people become more ill than others The COVIDENCE UK research study has been developed in response to the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Participants in the study will be asked to complete an online questionnaire with details about their lifestyle and health. They will then be contacted every month to check if they have developed any symptoms of coronavirus disease, and to ask some follow-up questions about participants’ more general health and social circumstances. The data collected will be analysed in order to: advance understanding of risk factors for coronavirus disease among UK adults find out how quickly people recover from coronavirus disease and whether there are any long-term complications of this illness evaluate the impact of coronavirus disease on the physical, mental and economic wellbeing of the UK population establish a platform for future research on coronavirus disease in the UK Follow COVIDENCE UK Follow COVIDENCE on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to stay up to date with the latest developments COVIDENCE UK Facebook COVIDENCE UK Instagram COVIDENCE UK Twitter Publications Vivaldi G, Pfeffer PE, Talaei M, Basera TJ, Shaheen SO, Martineau AR, Long-term symptom profiles after COVID-19 vs other acute respiratory infections: an analysis of data from the COVIDENCE UK study. eClinicalMedicine, 2023. doi: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2023.102251.
