What is the DASH study?

 

We are interested in how different aspects of life, such as physical growth and family life, affect the health of adolescents from different ethnic backgrounds. In 2003, over 6,500 pupils aged 11-13 years took part in the study. The pupils were from 51 schools spread across 10 London boroughs (Brent, Croydon, Hackney, Hammersmith & Fulham, Haringey, Lambeth, Newham, Southwark, Waltham Forest and Wandsworth). These areas were selected to ensure that we have pupils from a range of ethnic backgrounds.
