Create a longitudinal, multi-modal and multi-level surveillance cohort that targets early detection of symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 cases among Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander adults in the Continental US and identify effective modalities for participatory disease surveillance and sustainably integrate them into ongoing COVID-19 and other public health surveillance efforts.

We recruited cohorts from three sites: Federal Way, WA; Springdale, AR; and remotely. Participants received a survey that included demographic characteristics and questions regarding COVID-19.
