Stay informed about RECOVER’s Long COVID research by reading the latest news and participating in upcoming events.

Patient, Caregiver, and Community Representatives inform RECOVER research, help connect the initiative with different communities, and share news about RECOVER studies.
A recent RECOVER study found that women had a 31% higher risk for developing Long COVID than men. Findings from this study may help identify who is at a higher risk for developing Long COVID and potential Long COVID treatments.
Over the last two years, RECOVER Patient, Caregiver, and Community Representatives have helped plan and write more than 100 publications about RECOVER’s Long COVID research and its findings.
During the January 28th RECOVER Research Review (R3) Seminar, Dr. Kellie Owens, PhD (NYU Grossman School of Medicine) shared ethical guidance for enrolling individuals in clinical studies who have direct involvement with the research. Dr. Owens was joined by co-authors Leah Castro, MA (RECOVER Community and Caregiver Representative) and Rebecca Letts (RECOVER Patient and Caregiver Representative), who described Representatives’ important role in designing RECOVER clinical studies and developing peer-reviewed research publications.
RECOVER researchers found that people were more likely to develop myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) after having COVID-19. Most of the people who developed ME/CFS also developed Long COVID.
Some women taking part in RECOVER research were more likely to experience Long COVID compared to men.
Results from a recent RECOVER study suggest that adults who have COVID-19 may be more likely to develop a related condition called myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
Data provided by more than 3,800 new study participants reinforce how the long-term effects of COVID-19 can be different for everyone.
