Legacy cohorts

Call for Members of the Public to be Involved in Public Health Research: Legacy Cohort Studies
We are looking for people to provide insight, advice and feedback on research using legacy cohort studies from across the UK but particularly in parts of South Wales, Bristol and Scotland. These studies, some of which were started nearly a century ago, were conducted to improve the understanding of factors which could impact on health in later life. Data from these studies is still very valuable for health research today.
