The Nurses' Health Study was formed in 1976 with 121,701 female registered nurses in the USA, originally to look at the relationship between the use of oral contraceptives and breast cancer. Graham Colditz has published a paper in
Public Health Research & Practice, which looks at how the study, still operating forty years later, has broadened its focus through biannual questionnaires, to include a much wider analysis.
Nurses’ health study: demonstrating the impact of research, and adapting new measures and approaches to increase relevance and effect of cohort studies looks both at this particular study, which now reports on a wide range of measures and their relationships to chronic disease, and also at the contribution of cohort studies as a methodology. "The aim of this report is to highlight the features of the Nurses’ Health Study and other cohorts that demonstrate continuing contributions to the changing epidemiology of chronic conditions."
