Pre-Screening Questionnaire Public v.1 - Gordon Medical Associates/Lyme Disease Biobank

1. Welcome to the Lyme Disease Biobank Screening

Gordon Medical Associates has partnered with the Lyme Disease Biobank to collect blood and urine samples from people with Lyme disease. We will also be collecting information about symptoms and health history from everyone who donates a sample.

Today we just need you to answer a few brief questions to help us see if you might have the necessary history to provide samples that will be helpful to researchers. Samples will be made available to researchers developing better tests and treatments for Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections. Each participant’s donation provides samples for 40 different research projects.

Please complete the pre-screening questionnaire below. Those who fit the study conditions AND choose to donate blood and urine samples will be required to come to the Gordon Medical offices in San Rafael, CA or the Osteopathic Medical Associates in San Diego, CA to have the samples taken. Each lab that takes samples for the Biobank must be part of an IRB for the collection, so you cannot go to your local lab to have this done.
