What is Generation Scotland?

Generation Scotland is a research study looking at the health and wellbeing of volunteers and their families.

Our vision is to improve the health and wellbeing of current and future generations through partnership between researchers and volunteers.

Find out about our organisation's partnerships, history, funding and more.

At Generation Scotland, we are committed to listening to our volunteers and making their voices heard in health research.

If you would like to go the extra mile to help Generation Scotland, be sure to let us know during the signup process that you’re open to us contacting you about public involvement. This includes opportunities to shape the future of our research or share your experience as a volunteer. There will be an option to answer “yes” or “no” about whether you would like to do this.

Topics we have previously contacted volunteers about include:

Feedback on technical tests and questionnaires

Representing their local area

Helping us welcome more diversity within our study

Sharing why they joined Generation Scotland

Giving feedback or submitting materials for social media

If you change your mind, you can unsubscribe from our Volunteer Voices mailing list any time.

Young people aged 12+ living in Scotland can join Generation Scotland, allowing scientists and researchers to learn more about the health of young people, representing their health priorities.
