What We Heard: Engagement Report on the Working Definition for Long COVID - Published June 2023
Abstract
In 2022, the U.S. Government created a working definition for Long COVID. To examine if the
definition would benefit from updates, the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response
and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, asked the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine (National Academies) to convene the Committee on Examining the
Working Definition for Long COVID. An online questionnaire and seven online focus groups were
held to inform the Committee’s work with input from a range of perspectives. Over 1,300 participants
suggested opportunities to improve the U.S. Government’s working definition of Long COVID, as
well as elements that may not need to change. Input received will inform the work of the National
Academies’ committee.
