In this section you can find out about the experience of taking part in cohort studies by listening to people share their personal stories on film.

Our researchers talked to 39 people from across the UK who had taken part (or decided not to take part) in cohort studies. Find out what people said about issues such as the reasons they took part, what participation involved, and getting feedback from the studies.

We hope you find the information helpful and reassuring.
