The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) invites volunteers of all ages experiencing diarrhea to participate in a research study. Many people suffer from diarrhea every year. In the United States, it leads to about 130,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths a year. Researchers want to test whether a research tool detects pathogens (for example bacteria) that cause diarrhea. The study involves one out-patient visit that may last 2-3 hours and stool sample collection. No compensation will be provided. All study-related tests will be provided at no charge. Parental consent is required for minors. Refer to Study # 18-NR-0040.
