February 2023 Raine Study Newsletter

Everything is well and truly underway for the launch of our upcoming Generations Follow-up! This follow-up will include our original Raine children (Gen2) as well as their parents (Gen1) as full participants and offer them a free full health check. 

As it is set to be our biggest follow-up to date, we could potentially break records for participant engagement, as well as provide researchers with data in more health-related areas than ever before!

While we're busy getting equipment and assessments ready, we need your help to make sure this is our biggest follow-up ever. Reach out via email, phone, or our website to make sure all of your contact details are up to date and ready for you to come in and see us. Not sure if your details are up to date?

The Raine Study wouldn't be able to contribute such amazing data to research without our participants and we believe that they deserve a voice in our research. The Raine Study offers a variety of opportunities for participants to attend, such as Cohort Consultation meetings and events where they can share their opinions and have a say in the running of our study.

Our next Cohort Consultation meeting will be held on the 14th of March at 6:30pm AWST and we will be discussing Gen3 eye health research. The project will be introduced to you by the researchers themselves, Professor David Mackey and Dr Samantha Lee, who will be investigating the eye health of Raine children between the ages of 5-18 years to explore the risk factors of Myopia (short-sightedness).

This Cohort Consultation meeting will be held on the 14th of March at 6:30pm AWST. Use the link below or email us at Rainestudy@uwa.edu.au to register your interest.
