Additional Information

Organizational History

A world-leading research programme which aims to find out what keeps families healthy and happy by tracking the lives of over 60,000 Bradfordians.
Since launching our BiB Family cohort in 2007 we have collected data that has helped to make positive changes to the health of Bradford families and beyond.
Through our three cohort studies, we are tracking the lives of 60,000 people in Bradford to see why most people are happy and healthy, but some are not.
We have worked with researchers in over 20 different countries around the world to help improve the health of families in Bradford.
