About the study
Healthspan Connect is a large research project that looks at how and why people age differently. We want to better understand health problems and how diseases start, so we can help people stay healthy as they get older.
What to expect
Healthspan Connect is a research project made up of different studies. Most of the studies will take place online using a computer, tablet or smartphone. This means you can take part from home. You may be asked to fill in online questionnaires or send samples using special kits we post to you.
What do I need to do?
First of all, read the Healthspan Connect Child (Age 12-15) Participant Information Sheet.
If you would like to sign up to our research project, please complete a consent form by clicking the Take Part button below, or at the top of this page.
Because you are under 16 years old, a parent or guardian must also sign a consent form to confirm you may join. Please make sure you have their email address so we can send them a Parent/Guardian Participant Information Sheet and consent form to complete.
How do I get started?
Once you have signed up and your parent or guardian has given permission for you to join, you can start taking part in our research! Please see which studies are currently running in Our Studies.
