Frequently Asked Questions
What are the goals of the study?
Our goal is to build a comprehensive picture of the long-term effects of living at high altitude, and how lifestyle and health at high altitude differ from the low-altitude population. Initially, we will use questionnaire responses to summarize the health of Summit County residents and compare the summary statistics to those from national surveys. In later stages, we will identify differences between high- and low-altitude populations, and work with selected participants to learn more about altitude-specific results in detail. If you are willing to be contacted for follow-up questions, see the answer to “How will the Healthy Summit project contact me?”
