InterGEN January 2018 Study Update

January 18, 2018

The Intergenerational Blood Pressure (InterGEN) Study made significant progress over the past year. To date we have enrolled 213 families from across Connecticut and completed over 500 interviews since April 2015. We are 37 families away from our enrollment goal of 250 families!

January 2018 has been a busy time for the team. Five manuscripts written by InterGEN-associated investigators have already been accepted for publication, four of which include data collected through the InterGEN Study. The article titles are listed below.
