Are you interested in wellness and want to support liver research?

  • Join EMPOWER – a 12-week online mind-body wellness program for people 18+ living with liver disease (we have programs for other chronic disease groups as well!)
  • Once you complete some surveys (takes about 30 minutes) you have a 2/3 chance of being randomly assigned to one of the groups that start the program right away (within a week) and a 1/3 chance of going into our control group which starts the program in 12 weeks. Each of the 12 weeks of the program includes physical movement, stress-reduction practices, and information about liver disease from leading experts. 

Help us test a new image-based nutrition app for people with cirrhosis!

  • Many people with liver cirrhosis may need to follow a special diet to keep healthy. Usually, a written food record is completed to help health care providers understand what someone usually eats.

  • In this study, you will get to test a new image-based food record application on your phone/tablet for seven days to help us see how many days of recording are required to be accurate. You will receive a $15 gift card for participating in the study.
