Efforts will be made to meet as many participants in person throughout the state of California as we can. However, due to time and budget limitations we may not be able to reach everyone in person. Those who would like to participate in the Native Health: Cannabis and Nicotine Study but are unable to meet in person have the option to participate remotely. We will conduct a secure and private online survey and virtual interview.
You can also participate in the urine sample portion of the study remotely. You will need to mail a urine sample to the University of California San Fransisco using the method outlined below.
You will be mailed a urine sampling kit with instructions for urine collection, treatment, storage, and shipping. FedEx will pick up your sample from you in a discreet, secure package.
The video below demonstrates this process.
All other components of the urine sampling will follow the same process as in person participants, including confidentiality, privacy, and biomarker analysis found here.
