Background: The COVID-19 outbreak has strained the health care system. New tools are needed for diagnostic testing and monitoring of people who have the virus. Researchers want to test a device they hope can screen, detect, and monitor symptoms linked to respiratory diseases like COVID-19. Objective: To evaluate and validate a device that measures breathing, body temperature, heart rate, and tissue oxygenation. Eligibility: Healthy adults ages 18 and older with no flu-like symptoms and no current signs of infection, cough, fever, or sneezing. Design: Participants will have a physical exam. Their vital signs will be taken. Participants will sit in a chair. They will be monitored for 60 to 80 minutes while they do the following tasks: Rest for 10 minutes. They will repeat this after each task. Hold their breath for up to 2 minutes and then rest for 2 minutes. They will do this task 3 times. Pace-breathe with breathing rates of 10, 20, and 30 breaths per minute. They will do this task 2 times. Breathe air that has 5% of carbon dioxide for 5 minutes. During these tasks, data will be collected and recorded with a pulse oximeter, thermometer, respiratory belt, and spirometer. Participants will fill out questionnaires related to their daily activity (medication intake, exercise, smoking, and drinking). Participation will last for 2 to 3 hours.

Novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as a major international public health concern. While much of the morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19 has been attributed to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or end-organ failure, emerging data suggest that disorders of coagulation, in particular hypercoagulability and venous thromboembolism (VTE), may represent an additional major, and possibly preventable, complication (Wu C, et al. JAMA Intern Med. 2020 Mar 13. [Epub ahead of print] and Tang N, et al. Thromb. Haemost. 2020 Feb 19. [EPub Ahead of Print]). Abnormal coagulation testing results, especially markedly elevated D-dimer and FDP, have been associated with a poor prognosis in COVID-19 infection. We propose the following Electronic Health Record (EHR)-guided 10000-patient, retrospective observational cohort study to assess VTE incidence, risk factors, prevention and management patterns, and thrombotic outcomes in patients with COVID-19 infection. In order to gain the valuable perspective of other regional and national centers providing care for large populations of COVID-19, we have started a collaborative network with 5 additional sites which will provide us with de-identified data from 1000 patients each. These 5000 patients in addition to the 5000-patient cohort we are enrolling within the Mass General Brigham Network will comprise this study population.

The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically increased health disparities. In the United States, >79 million have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 and >900,000 died, but cases and deaths disproportionately affect underserved populations. Novel treatments early in disease may transform the pandemic's course, but strategies that address disparities in timely testing and treatment access are essential to maximize impact. To address profound COVID-19 disparities, testing strategies should be developed together with community-trusted organizations in high-need areas identified with risk assessment strategies to address barriers to test access, determine infrastructure needs, and position testing to promote timely access, awareness and education, and engagement with health systems and local resources. The You & Me Healthy (YMH) Toolkit is a guide to develop academic-community partnerships in underserved communities in response to public health threats. In this application, the investigators will evaluate the toolkit's role in preparing community-based test distribution and test and treat responses to the next phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in underserved populations. Widening COVID-19 health and education disparities will have a profound impact for generations, with infections and deaths disproportionally affecting underserved populations that have been historically marginalized. Inequitable risk of COVID-19 infection and unequal access to care have been observed among lower socio-economic and racial/ethnic minorities with higher hospitalization rates, lower recovery rates, and higher mortality. As outlined at the core of Public Health 3.0, local communities will lead the charge in taking public health to the next level and ensure its continued success. Within this framework community members serve as partners for research, and both community and research resources are leveraged to address social, environmental, and economic conditions that magnify health disparities in communities. Community engagement is increasingly being recognized as enhancing research quality and relevance to public health practice. Benefits of engaging communities have been reported in all stages of research including 1) identifying key research questions based on firsthand knowledge and insight from the field; 2) designing informed consent processes and research protocols that meet the needs of the community; 3) adapting public health interventions to be context-relevant; 4) identifying implementation processes to promote public health intervention feasibility and adoption; and 5) disseminating research results to make information more accessible.

The goal of this cluster randomized clinical trial is to test the efficacy of messaging interventions to increase booster vaccine uptake in adults in the emergency department(ED). The main question[s] and goals of this study are: - does the intervention of vaccine messaging increase booster vaccine uptake at 30 days post ED visit? - does the intervention of asking about vaccine acceptance increase booster vaccine uptake at 30 days post ED visit? - considering recent national changes to funding and availability of updated vaccines, the investigators will examine the effects of these changes on vaccine acceptance and uptake in ED populations. Specifically, they will stratify EDs and ED patients according to the ED availability of vaccines, and they will also examine whether costs and availability of vaccines are a deterrent to patient acceptance and uptake of vaccines
