Children of the Children of the 90s (COCOs)

Children of the 90s is the only study in the world that provides scientists with our unique health information over three generations.
COCOs Clinic
Studying the next generation will help us understand how genes and lifestyle can affect health and development.
At our COCOs clinic we’ll ask a series of questions and capture some key measurements – we may even collect some samples including blood, milk teeth and toenail clippings!
Your pregnancy data is vital.
Capturing your pregnancy data is so important to us as it’s a unique time period for your health.
We offer a pregnancy clinic where we capture measurements, such as blood pressure, allowing us to learn more about certain health conditions like pre-eclampsia.
You're doing something for science and are involved in new discoveries. It makes you feel a bit valuable. And it's good for the kids to be involved from an early age so they can look back and say I was a part of it and did help in a small way.
How to enrol
If you or your partner are part of the study and are about to become a parent (or you are already) we'd love you, your partner and all your children to take part in COCOs!
To enrol your child please call or text COCO90WEB with your name and date of birth to 07772 102649 or you can request a call by emailing:
Would you donate your placenta to science?
BBC Points West help us announce our placenta study!
In a world first, our researchers are studying the placentas you donate to see if they can identify signs of future heart problems.
Read media coverage about what your placenta can tell us about your health in BBC News.
