“Yes! It is a long process (answering the questionnaires) and it makes you think. It has been quite helpful. The allergy test for my four-year-old was really good because we found out that she is allergic to dust and so I have made some changes in the house as a result of that.”
“I have learnt about different kinds of genetic illnesses and about allergies that people have. I am much more aware of eating and what to avoid. My daughter has got an asthma pipe and I know about what can be done to prevent asthma. I am dusting more now, particularly the beds.”
“I was already interested in good health and that was what made me want to be part of a project that is researching into the future. Anything we can do to make it better for our children’s children…. that is why I am doing this; you need a pool of people willing to help to change things for children in the future.”
“I think about these things anyway but I am glad to help others and benefit my children’s children.”
“I haven’t thought more about health but the information I am given puts my mind at ease.”
