Interested in Research?
If you have upcoming international travel, you’re eligible to participate in a research study using the Travel Healthy app.
We’re Massachusetts General Hospital researchers and we want to learn more about where people experience travel-related illness when they’re abroad. If you decide to participate in the research study, we’ll collect the information you enter into your daily symptom surveys and where you were located when you took them.
No study visits, participation starts 1 day before and ends 3 days after your trip, compensation up to $15.
