We are excited to announce that the CHILL study will be returning to secondary schools in 2025 for an extra year of data collection! We look forward to inviting our participants to take part in this extra year of data collection.
Please stay tuned for more details on this extension study in the next months!
Over the last five years, we are delighted to have seen over 1300 children across primary and secondary schools in London and Luton.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we extended the study to continue following our participants through to secondary school. It has been fantastic to see the children’s continued interest and engagement with the study as they have grown up – in some cases, even into their teenage years.
Our Centre of the Cell team continued to host workshops with primary and secondary school classes, engaging children in the science of air pollution and encouraging creative problem solving to develop innovative strategies to reduce air pollution.
We are still working on the analysis phase of the project and we hope to share our findings soon. Our final study reports will be accessible through the Research Publications tab.
The CHILL study has been a huge undertaking and we could not have done it without the support and enthusiasm of our partner schools. We look forward to continued partnership with our participants, schools, and multi-site teams as we embark on a new phase of the CHILL project with adolescents!
