The epidemiologic questionnaires used in this study are a composite of validated
questions from multiple sources. Many of the questions are an expansion of the MSK
General Medical Health clinical questionnaire. Validated questions capturing
demographics, employment, risk behaviors, family history, as well as, specific research
domains including psychosocial, food security, and financial toxicity have already been
utilized in other MSK minimal risk studies. The COVID-19 symptom and history tracker
questions were largely drawn from the COronavirus Pandemic Epidemiology (COPE) consortium
study.
