Nurses' Health Study

13 years ago

I have been a participant in the Nurses' Health Study for 19 years. This is an ongoing study funded through the National Institutes of Health that has done research on women's health issues. While the prevention of cancer is still a primary focus, the study has also produced landmark data on cardiovascular disease, diabetes and many other conditions. Most importantly, these studies have shown that diet, physical activity and other lifestyle factors can powerfully promote better health.

They are beginning the new Nurses' Health Study 3, enrolling a cohort of nurses between ages 22 and 45 (born after January 1, 1965). They have a goal of enrolling 100,000 young female nurses from both USA and Canada.

So if you are a nurse in this age group, or know of someone who might participate here's a link for more info. And please, pass the word.
