Abstract

Long-term cohort studies provide a solid foundation for rapidly answering urgent research questions during a pandemic, as they have a well-structured research framework and relevant pre-pandemic data. An example of this is the Amsterdam Cohort Studies (ACS), which have been studying men who have sex with men in Amsterdam for 40 years. Originally designed to investigate the HIV epidemic, this study has again proven to be able to quickly make valuable contributions to pandemic research for both the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the monkeypox virus.
