Born in Bradford (BiB) is an internationally acclaimed applied research programme which vision to promote a healthier, fairer future for children living in deprived areas. Between 2007-2011 we recruited over 12,500 families to our Born in Bradford birth cohort and have been following the lives of children born to these families ever since. Our oldest Born in Bradford children are now reaching adolescence and on are experiencing a number of key life transitions seeing them progress through adolescence, secondary education and into young adulthood. These are critical periods shaping life-long mental health, cardio-metabolic risk and inequalities, however they are poorly understood.

We will collaborate internationally to broad-ranging research and discovery science and promote rapid application to policy/practice.
