Currently there are over 67,000 participants enrolled on the website. We’ve used the CPS-3 Portal to successfully collect participant responses for 2 sub-studies and several short surveys.

A: This secure, mobile-friendly website allows you, as a CPS-3 participant, to easily and privately complete all your study activities in one place. On the portal, you can:

  • Access all your surveys
  • Update your contact and personal information
  • Enroll in sub-studies
  • Receive updates about CPS-3 research findings

A: By joining the CPS-3 Participant Portal, you’ll be able to take surveys online, enroll in optional sub-studies, easily contact study staff, and learn more about CPS-3. About 2-3 times a year, participants registered on the Portal receive brief surveys about any changes in lifestyle, environment, or health that will take about 5 to 15 minutes to complete. These shorter surveys are often topic-specific, helping us dive deeper into certain research areas.

A: No. You do not have to sign up for the CPS-3 Participant Portal to remain part of CPS-3. You will continue to receive your triennial survey every 3 years, which you can respond to online or on paper. If you join the Portal, you will be able to access your 2024 triennial survey through your portal account.?

A: No. Each CPS-3 participant must have a unique email address to use the Portal. If you try to use an email address that’s been used by another participant, you won’t be able to continue with your account activation.

A: In the fall of 2023, we switched from our original portal platform to an entirely new, custom-built centralized portal system that streamlines how we collect, store, and use your data. We built this new portal to improve your experience as a CPS-3 participant and continue to enhance data security and privacy measures.

As part of this transition, all of your contact information was transferred to this new portal platform and all of your survey data was saved by the CPS-3 research team on our secure servers. Your survey history will not be immediately visible in your new portal account, but we are working on implementing that feature.

A: The old portal system will no longer be supported after the transition to our new portal system is complete. For data security and privacy reasons, we cannot transfer log-in information to the new portal system. As such, we are asking all past portal users to activate their new portal platform by confirming their email address and date of birth.
