Dear Colleague:
I wanted to let you know about a study that is currently recruiting female nurses from across the United States: the Nurses' Health Study 3. Investigators at the Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital, are asking female nurses between the ages of 22 and 45 to join this study.
The original Nurses' Health Study began in 1976 with the participation of more than 121,000 nurses. In 1989 an additional 116,000 female RNs were enrolled in Nurses' Health Study II. These studies have taught us much of what we currently know about how foods, exercise, and medications can affect women's risk of developing cancer and other serious health conditions. However, there is still a great deal that we do not know, especially among women from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
The goal of the Nurses' Health Study 3 is to investigate how women's lifestyles (including diet, exercise, birth control, pregnancy, work exposures etc.) during their 20's, 30's and 40's can influence their health and disease risk later in life. Because of nurses' unique knowledge, training and interest in health issues, they can provide very accurate and complete information. Enrollment started in the summer of 2010 and will continue until we reach our target enrollment of 100,000 nurses.
If you do not qualify but know someone who does, feel free to share this information with her.
To make it more convenient, Nurses' Health Study 3 will be conducted entirely over the Internet, via online questionnaires. For more information and to join visit their website www.NHS3.org.
I encourage you to consider participating in this long-term study and invite others to participate. Your contribution can help identify important nutritional, lifestyle and biological factors which could lead to optimal health.
