The purpose of the STRIVE study is to research environmental exposures that contribute to liver cancer. We take samples from people who are healthy, and those with liver disease. We look at the amount of heavy metals and other substances in blood, urine, and saliva, as well as samples from the participants home, such as soil, water, and dust.
Biological samples: Blood, urine, and/or saliva Questionnaires: Dietary, Medical/family medical history, environmental exposure questions Home samples: Air (wear a wristband for 1 week), soil (if applicable), dust, and water
