Welcome

Welcome to the INFORM trial which has been set up by the Department of Public Health and Primary Care and the Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge.

We are recruiting 932 blood donors who are enrolled in or have taken part in the INTERVAL Study to a smaller study looking at health-related behaviour.

The aim of the study is to see whether providing people with different types of information about their individual risk of a heart attack in the next 10 years motivates them to change their lifestyle (for example to eat a healthier diet, exercise more, or stop smoking). To help people with lifestyle changes, we have developed an online lifestyle advice programme. We will look at this over a three-month period.

Before you decide whether to participate, it is important for you to understand why the study is being conducted and what is involved. Please take the time to read the information on this website carefully, and discuss it with others if you wish.
