Why do you want to take my own and my child’s DNA?

We would like to add genetic information about you and your baby to the study to help understand how genes influence people’s lives and how genes and the environments people experience work together.

There are few studies in the world like Generation New Era, that collect a broad range of information over time to try and understand the whole person. DNA is an important piece of this puzzle. By combining information about genes with the answers to the survey questions, Generation New Era can paint a fuller picture of this new generation of children and parents and what affects their health and development.    

To thank you for your contribution, we gave you an additional £5 voucher for your sample and your baby’s sample.
