The world's largest, longest-running study of women's health is recruiting a new, younger, more diverse cohort: Nurses' Health Study 3. Female nurses 22-46 are invited to contribute to the study's groundbreaking research on lifestyle, environment, nurses' worklife, and women's health. All that's required is completing short lifestyle surveys online, at your convenience. Recruitment is open and will continue until we reach our goal of 100,000 nurses. Much of what we know today about HRT, transfats, shift work, and countless other important health topics came from data contributed since the 1970s by 230,000 dedicated participants in Nurses' Health Studies 1 and 2. Become part of this renowned group of nurses and help us promote health for future generations. Every time you hear about the study's latest breakthrough, you'll feel proud!
