We want to know more about your experience during the COVID-19 pandemic, including questions about the COVID-19 vaccine. We will ask you to tell us more about the people in your household. We may ask to include other adults in your household in this study if they are eligible.

If you have children who are school-age, we may also ask some questions about their experience and invite them to participate in the antibody blood test. We will offer each child $25 for their participation.

Absolutely! Whether you are new to the study or you didn't have the time to participate in round one, your participation in invaluable in round two. We hope you will participate!

The goal of the MCAS is to better understand the spread of COVID-19 in Minnesota by measuring samples of blood, from folks all around Minnesota, for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. By testing for antibodies we hope to learn more about the presence and spread of COVID-19 in Minnesota.

It will take under 10 minutes to complete the survey and 20 minutes to collect and return your blood sample to us.

NORC at the University of Chicago maintains the highest standards of confidentiality.

No information obtained in the course of this study may be disclosed in a manner in which the individual supplying the information is identifiable, except to a very small number of authorized staff on MCAS and at NORC, and then only for study administrative purposes, not for dissemination. Any violation of your confidentiality is subject to penalties of up to five years in prison and/or as much as a $250,000 fine.

All of your information is treated as confidential.

Participation in MCAS is also entirely voluntary, and there are no penalties for not participating. A respondent's survey and test results are never reported individually, but instead are grouped with responses and results from other persons in the study to create statistical and analytical reports. In short, at no point does NORC or MCAS identify individual respondents and never publishes individual responses or results.

At the end of the survey we will ask you about the antibody test kit and you can decide whether you will participate then. We hope you will participate fully, but you don't have to collect a blood kit in order to participate in the survey. We would like to leave the door open in case you reconsider.
