This form is fully secure and HIPAA compliant. HumanMicrobes.org is the only recipient of this data. However, if you choose to send the results to your own email your email provider may be able to access it. Feel free to use a secure email from a provider such as Proton.me. We may need to discuss parts of your questionnaire in our follow-up.
You should be able to verify at the bottom of this page that "This form was created inside of HumanMicrobes.org".
You could expect this questionnaire to take 15-20 minutes to complete. You will not receive a confirmation email unless you opt to receive a copy of your questionnaire. We are getting a very large number of applications so it may take more than 6 months for us to get back to you. Applying multiple times is not useful.
Important: Many people miss the follow-up email since it can land in spam. You will need to whitelist our domain (@humanmicrobes.org) to prevent that.
Before you start you may need to check with your parents about:
- Your antibiotic history
- Your birthing method
- If you were breastfed, and if so, for how long
