CLoCK study

The CLoCk study or Non-hospitalised Children & young people (CYP) with Long Covid is a British Long COVID study announced in February 2021. Led by Professor Sir Terence Stephenson as PI, this research project is intended to identify long COVID symptoms in non-hospitalised children and young people, evaluate risk and prevalence, and establish a medical diagnosis for the condition. The study will enroll 6,000 children and young people, divided into one group of 3,000 who have tested positive for COVID-19 and one group of 3,000 who have not. Participants will be asked to assess their physical and mental problems at regular intervals up to 24 months after infection. Results are expected to be published, made available to participants, and used to inform NHS health policy and individual medical practice.

Funding
In 2021, the CLoCk study was awarded £1.36 million in funding by the National Institute for Health Research.
