3. What to Expect in Virtual Visit 2 This video covers what to expect in Virtual Visit 2 of the SHARE Study conducted at UCLA by Dr. Emily Hotez. It provides an overview of the measurements participants are asked to take before the visit and explains how to take them. During the visit, participants will be asked to complete a mindfulness exercise, answer some surveys, and take a hair sample with the help of a trusted person. This video is designed so participants can use the mailer kit to take all requested measurements on the morning of Virtual Visit 2.
4. Taking a Hair Sample This video covers how to take a hair sample, which participants will be asked to do during Virtual Visit 2 of the SHARE Study under the supervision of a research assistant. Taking a hair sample involves two people: the participant and a trusted person who will take the sample. This can be an intimidating process for the person making the cut. Because Zoom limits video quality and the ability to show examples, this video helps participants and their helpers prepare and offers best practices for collecting a quality sample.
