How to Join: Aged 16-18

By joining Generation Scotland, you too can have a voice and take part in research.

We aim to listen to our volunteers to understand and respond to their health priorities. By taking part, you will be helping improve the health and wellbeing of the people in Scotland and elsewhere in the world.

 

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 in less than 20 minutes! Taking part involves:

  1. Sign up at www.gen.scot
  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. Receive your £20 e-voucher.
