BiB Breathes Air Quality Survey |
Participant Information Sheet (General public V4_09.06.2023)
We would like to invite you to take part in a survey about air pollution.
Pollution in Bradford is very high and is harming the health of our children and young people. Bradford council have been asked by the UK Government to develop plans to improve air quality within the city, including implementing a 'clean air zone'. Born in Bradford is a research project which is following the lives of over 50,000 Bradford residents to explore why some families stay healthy and why others fall ill. You can read more about our project on our website: www.borninbradford.nhs.uk.
Born in Bradford want to find out what you think about Bradford council's plans to reduce pollution, and the best ways to reduce pollution to help keep families healthy and happy in our study called BiB Breathes. We are carrying out this survey with lots of people across the city to get their views. We will use this information to find out the most important things that could be done in the city to reduce pollution in Bradford and elsewhere.
We would like you to help us by completing this questionnaire which should take no more than 10 minutes.
