What this trial studies

Generation Victoria (GenV) is a longitudinal, population-based study that collects and links data on a wide range of health conditions, exposures, and outcomes for children born in Victoria and their parents. The study aims to address physical, mental, and social issues experienced during childhood and their long-term implications for health. It involves obtaining consent from families, collecting biosamples, and accessing extensive datasets to generate evidence that can improve future wellbeing and reduce disease burden. GenV is designed to support various types of research, including observational and interventional studies.
