#1 Content Box: Introduction Introduction and Objective: Knowing the importance of including the consumers voice in the future of research, the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) partnered with the software healthcare analytics company; ArborMetrix, to develop a cloud-based platform; NHF s Community Voices in Research (CVR), formerly known as MyBDC. Through CVR, NHF will be able to send out longitudinal surveys and follow participants for a minimum of 5 years. Image: Table: What it is vs. what it is not

#4 Content Box: Materials and Methods Materials and Methods: Exempted by a centralized IRB, surveys are sent to voluntarily enrolled participants via email and are completed utilizing smartphones, tablets, or computers. Types of surveys include: enrollment, baseline, annual, sub-surveys of interest, and hot topics. Participants may opt-in/out of any survey. Identified through chapter and NHF meetings or social media, eligible persons include anyone with an inherited bleeding disorder and their immediate unaffected family members. All results are reported out in a de-identified, aggregated manner. Each participant will have a personalized dashboard that allows them to see the results and benchmark themselves against all participants and have access to resources and education.

#5 Content Box: Results Results: Enrollment began in late March 2019. By June 2020, 593 persons were enrolled (60% affected, 40% unaffected family members). The baseline survey was sent out to both those affected with an inherited bleeding disorder (8/2019) and their family members (3/2020). As of June, 2020, 37% of affected persons have completed this survey and 19% of family members. 40% have completed a pain survey that was sent out to 115 affected persons who identified as having chronic pain in their baseline survey. 35% completed a COVID survey sent out to everyone enrolled in CVR.

#6 Content Box: Conclusions Conclusions: There is great initial interest in CVR, a community- powered registry, designed to promote the community s voice in research. The de-identified, aggregated results will be available to researchers promoting a better understanding of what it is like to live with an inherited bleeding disorder. The personalized dashboard was launched in November 2019. Image: participants quotes on next slide
