How to Join: Aged 16-18

We're looking for new volunteers to join Generation Scotland. We already have over 24,000 people from 7,000 families taking part! Now, we're ready to welcome new families and family members aged 12 and older to join. 

You can be part of Generation Scotland if you are: 

• Aged 12 years or over
• Live in Scotland
• Live in England, Northern Ireland or Wales and are related to a current Generation Scotland volunteer living in Scotland

We are now able to offer you a £20 e-gift card voucher as compensation for the time it takes for you to participate!

We understand it can be hard for young people to make the time to volunteer, due to commitments such as school/college or training. As less than 2% of our volunteers are young people, we wish to support you to be part of our study and help us better understand the unique challenges faced by your generation.

We are therefore offering a £20 e-gift card voucher as compensation for the time it takes for you to participate. We still want many more young people to join, so please tell your friends and family about Generation Scotland! 

If you're aged 16 or over you can sign up now! Taking part involves:

1. Sign up at our online portal:

Join Generation Scotland

2. Complete a 10-20 minute questionnaire.
3. We'll send you a saliva sample kit to complete and return. Just pop it in your nearest post box.
4. Aged 16-18? Receive your £20 e-voucher.

As we're a family study, we also encourage you to invite at least one family member to join. This can include any family members from your children and parents to siblings, cousins and aunties and uncles! That will help us understand how genetics and shared living can affect health and well-being.

Feel free to take a look at our volunteer information and consent below, before you click through to our portal to join.
