About this app

You are invited to join the Healthy Oregon Project (HOP) – a research study that combines genetic cancer screening, using a saliva sample, with surveys about a person’s environment, behaviors, and lifestyle to understand their risks for cancer and other diseases.

With this app you can:
• Review the study information and consent to participate
• Complete surveys about your health habits and environment to aid us in early detection research and allow us to follow your health for as long as you choose to participate
• Find out where and how to donate a saliva sample for genetic screening
• View your genetic screening results, which are provided at no cost, and will identify whether your DNA indicates a risk for certain inheritable diseases.
• Get updates about the study and health resources

We anticipate enrolling more than 100,000 people in the study. Feel free to share this app with your friends and family. Any adult living in Oregon or SW Washington may join. Initial funding for this project comes from the Cancer Early Detection Advanced Research Center (CEDAR), a part of the Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) Knight Cancer Institute.

Ratings and reviews

So far, the app is generally easy-to-use/ maneuver through, and works well. It is a wee bit glitchy in that I've had to do a few of the surveys more than once before they register as complete by the app. As of today, it isn't acknowledging I ha e finished the stress survey at all, even though it's completely done. Overall, it's a fair app and I'm excited to be able to participate in the study. Am looking forward to receiving my kit.

Needs more "I don't know" options instead of only numeric value answers! I am am adopted and I don't know anything about my medical history. A handful of the questions about relatives give an option for "I don't know" but most require you to give a specific answer which is going to screw up the data later. Obviously not made with adoptees in mind. Questionares are simple and quick otherwise. But genetics and family systems are not this simple. Also bad coding in Hours Per Day questions!!!!

The app doesn't work. It gets stuck on the consent page. Then if you manage to get past that you can't log into an account you created because it says missing information. And HOP has to be done through the app ...
