Official title
The PCOS Challenge Study: For the Collection of Information to Advance Research and Improve Care for PCOS Patients
Overview
The primary purpose of The PCOS Challenge Study will be to conduct high-quality research where patients are included in the design, and answering the questions that patients identify as important to their lived experience with PCOS. In partnership with clinical investigators, patients will work on the development and management of data collection, the research agenda, and the sharing of research findings. The PCOSC Study will promote the advancement of research that provides reliable, useful, and meaningful information to patients with PCOS and their clinicians. The population for The PCOS Challenge Study will include individuals with a clinical diagnosis of PCOS, individuals self-diagnosed with PCOS, individuals with symptoms of PCOS (e.g., hirsutism, irregular menstrual cycles), and demographic-matched controls without PCOS.
