DecodeME has launched

 

 
In this period of national mourning, the DecodeME team seriously considered how best to proceed and we decided to continue with our plans to launch the study today. For more information, please read our statement here.

Please see below your invitation to the study and information on how to take part:
 
Help decode ME/CFS
 
It’s time – we’ve just launched the DecodeME study, and we’re inviting you to take part and decode ME.
 
Taking part is easy and you can do everything from home.
 
Step 1: Sign up on the website. It only takes a few minutes.
Step 2: Complete our questionnaire. You can take it slowly and pause at any time and return when you’re ready — today or another day.
Step 3: Spit and post. You may also be asked to provide a DNA sample. In this case, we'll send you a 'spit kit' which contains everything you need, and you can return it to us for free via any postbox. Looking at DNA is the best way to find causes of ME/CFS, and to point the way to treatments.
 
And when you’ve done that, you’ll have joined the world's biggest study of ME/CFS.
 
 
Need more help?
If doing the questionnaire online is a problem, read our FAQ on how to join by phone or post.
 
More information
You can find out more about the study on our Website. You will also have an opportunity to read our Participant Information Document before you take the questionnaire which will explain the process in more detail. 
 
Together, we can decode ME
We need as many people as possible to take part for the study to succeed, and we hope you’ll be one of them. We can’t wait to welcome you!
 
 
Warmest wishes,
The DecodeME Team
