Take Part

This page is for new volunteers. If you have already participated in EXCEED and want to be more involved please click here.

Who can take part?

We’d like to invite you to take part in EXCEED, a study which is investigating the causes of long-term health conditions in Leicester and surrounding areas. We are asking people from Asian, Asian British, Black, Black British, Caribbean, African, Arab, mixed or multiple ethnic groups to join the study.

What does taking part involve?

If you choose to take part, you will fill in a short questionnaire about your health. We will follow your health by studying information from your NHS health care records. We will use the “left over” sample when you have a blood test in the future as part of your care, to look at your DNA and other measures of your health.

If you have questions, please contact us at exceed@leicester.ac.uk or on 0116 252 5997.

More information is available from our participant information sheet. You can also find out more about how we will use your data on our privacy page.
