Introduction
This is the 1st follow-up survey for the PFAS and Viral Infections Study. The purpose of this study is to improve our
understanding of the relationship between the amount of PFAS in a person's blood and susceptibility to acute
(short-term) viral illnesses. This includes the COVID-19 virus as well as other viral illnesses. You enrolled your child in
this study and the initial survey was completed around [enter date]. We would now like to invite you to complete
this follow-up survey about your child that is asking about the time period from (date) to (date).
Remember to look back at your child's symptom diary as a reminder of any symptoms your child may have
experienced in the time period from (date) to (date). The symptom diary will help you and your child complete this
survey more easily!
Please enter your child's participant identification number located on the Invitation Letter you received at the start of
this study.

Section 4. Viral Illness History
This section relates to symptoms of illness that might have been caused by viruses, as well as
medical care or medical testing your child may have received for those illnesses. We are
interested in illnesses your child experienced in the time period from (date) to (date) that
included fever, chills, respiratory symptoms (such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough,
shortness of breath or sore throat), or gastrointestinal symptoms (such as nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea or abdominal pain).
For this section, an Episode of illness is one distinct period of time when your child was sick or
experienced a set of symptoms. For example, Episode #1 (first episode) may represent an
illness in January and Episode #2 (second episode) may represent a different illness in March.
In addition, an Episode of illness would start when your child first started to feel sick and
would end when your child felt back to normal, even if the specific symptoms changed during
that time (for example, an illness might start with a sore throat and end with a cough).
In the time period from (date) to (date), has your child had any episodes of illness?
Yes
No

Section 5. Questions specific to COVID-19
This section relates to COVID-19 or a COVID-19-like illness. The items listed below could have
happened more than once. For each question you answer "Yes", please indicate, to the best
of your recollection, the number of times and the approximate dates, starting with the
earliest, that the item occurred in the time period from (date) to (date). Enter the dates using
2 digits for the month and 4 digits for the year. If you are entering multiple dates for an item,
please separate each by a comma. (Example: 01/2020, 02/2020)
For questions below that ask about COVID-19 testing, please note:
There are different types of COVID-19 tests available. Some test for current infection and
11/12/2021
2:23pm
some
test
for past infection.

projectredcap.org

A viral test tells you if your child has a current infection. Two types of viral tests can be used:
nucleic acid amplification tests (often called PCR tests) and antigen tests. The viral test
involves collecting a specimen with a swab from the nose, nasopharynx, mouth, or throat; or
collecting saliva.
An antibody test (also known as a serology test) is a blood test that might tell you if your child
had a past infection. Antibody tests are not used to diagnose a current infection.
Please remember: If you are a parent filling this survey out for your child, questions about
"anyone else in the household" refers to anyone besides the child you are answering the
questions for (including yourself).
Was your child in close contact (defined as within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more) with a person who you
know had active COVID-19 that was confirmed with a positive COVID-19 viral test?
Yes
No
If you answered yes, how many times?
