Ageing well includes everyone: help us reach our Generation 1 dads!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For over 40 years, ATP has followed the same families to understand how children and families thrive. Now, we\u2019re expanding our focus to explore how we can all live well for longer, and we need both men and women to be part of it!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 1983, it\u2019s mostly been mums filling out our surveys. As we turn our attention to healthy ageing for everyone, we\u2019re inviting Gen1* fathers to take part in our new survey too.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a Gen1 dad, or you’re in touch with one, we\u2019d love your help! By sharing their contact details with us, we can invite them to be part of this important new chapter.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To add or update your details, please do so via our\u00a0<\/span>secure online form<\/span> here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Together we can build a better understanding of healthy ageing, for everyone.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*Gen1 dads have a child who was born around 1983 – this is when your family first joined the study. As we look at ageing for all, it\u2019s important that we hear from both men and women!<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
