Researcher
Erin Forster

List of Studies


Keywords
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Summary

The goal of this study is to collect health information from adults with IBD to better understand the disease and ultimately improve care for participants and other adults living with IBD. Participation in this study is voluntary. If a subject agrees to be in this study, we will collect information electronically (through a web-based platform called IBD Qorus) from the subject and the subject's IBD health care provider about their IBD health information.

Approximately 50 sites across the U.S. are currently participated in this study. The study is sponsored by the non-profit Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.

With the collected medical data, the study will focus on the strategy of identifying goals (or targets) of IBD care, developing a strategy to reach these goals, and then continuously evaluating progress of achieving these targets and modifying the treatment plan.
