About the SEHS
The SEHS is a new cohort study. In this type of study, thousands of participants are asked to join and to give permission to share what happens with their health over several years. Scientists can then look for patterns in the health of different groups. SEHS research aims to help improve the health of communities in the Southern U.S. By enrolling in the SEHS you are joining the effort to better understand the relationship between exposure to environmental pollutants and the causes of cancer and other health conditions that impact our community today. |
Discovering the connections between our local environment, our life experiences, and our health
