For Volunteers

We are inviting eligible volunteers to take part in an exciting new study that is part of the Generation Scotland project. ReGeneration Scotland: Revisiting health and genetics to assess change in biological health.

Find out more about how we safely use volunteers' data to support mental and physical health research.

We understand that our questionnaires discuss topics that may be upsetting. If you find you need support for any of the questions asked, take a look at these support pages.

Not sure how to provide your saliva (spit) sample? This step by step guide will walk you through how to provide your sample using our kit that will be posted to your home.

We really appreciate all of our volunteers. However, we understand that you may wish to stop receiving some communications or leave our study entirely.

We would like to invite you to become a Generation Scotland Health Research Champion. This helps pupils, colleagues and families know about the importance of health research including the opportunity to join Generation Scotland.

The resources and videos featured on this page are free to use and include opportunities for everyday learning about Genetics, Data Science, Health Research and Mental Health.

A thank you to the schools & organisations who are Generation Scotland Health Research Champions.
