Born In Bradford Information

Born in Bradford is an internationally-recognised research programme which aims to find out what keeps families healthy and happy by tracking the lives of over 40,000 Bradfordians. We use our findings to develop new and practical ways to work with families and health professionals to improve the health and wellbeing of our communities. We aim to: • Learn why most children, young people and families are healthy and happy but some are not by asking them to share information on all the things that might make a difference to their health and wellbeing • Co-produce plans to improve health and wellbeing and reduce inequalities for people in Bradford and elsewhere • Share what we learn with families to help them improve their lives and the lives of their children as they grow • Design, implement and evaluate activities to support families and their children as they grow and improve their lives and work with local partners to influence policy and strategy • Work with Bradford communities and other partners to build and strengthen research capacity within the district
