This information is provided directly by researchers, and we recognise that it isn't always easy to understand. We are working with researchers to improve the accessibility of this information. In some summaries, you may come across links to external websites. These websites will have more information to help you better understand the study.


The Improving Black Health Outcomes (IBHO) BioResource is focused on improving our knowledge and understanding of health conditions and their unique impacts on UK Black communities.

The UK lacks a dedicated research resource that can enable crucial studies to help us understand the health experiences of individuals from Black communities. The development of the IBHO BioResource will allow this important work with a view to better understanding and improved prognosis of common and rare health conditions in these communities. Participation contributes to shaping future healthcare strategies and interventions tailored to meet the needs of Black individuals.
We are inviting people aged 16+ from Black ethnic backgrounds, such as Black African, Black Caribbean and Black British to participate, whether they have a health condition or not. We are also inviting people with a confirmed diagnosis of Sickle Cell or Thalassaemia to join, regardless of ethnic background.

Children aged 15 and under with a confirmed diagnosis of Sickle Cell can also join the IBHO BioResource.
