What’s Involved
The SOURCE study involves two in-person clinic visits and regular telephone follow-up. The clinic visits occur 1) at the beginning of the study and 2) at a three-year follow-up. Visits take approximately 4 hours and include:
- questionnaires
- breathing tests
- CT scan of the lungs
A bronchoscopy will also be offered to participants with abnormal breathing test results. A brief telephone follow-up takes place every six months, with a longer phone call after 18 months of participation in the study. You will be compensated for your time.
