Nurses’ Health Study Participants Needed

One of the longest running studies of health is expanding, and needs your help!

The Harvard School of Public Health and Brigham and Women's Hospital are excited to announce that the Nurses' Health Study, for the first time, is now accepting both male and female participants! Previous cohorts taught us much of what we currently know about how diet and lifestyle can affect risk of developing cancer and other serious health conditions, and you can help by completing simple web-based surveys every 6 months.

If you are 19 or older, and born after January 1, 1965, JOIN the study! It only takes 40 minutes a year, and participation can be applied to your clinical ladder.

WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO?

Your encouragement will go a long way to help explain how a small commitment to a study like this is of extraordinary value for promoting healthy living.
