A special word about questions related to smoking – where applicable.
“Do you smoke?” is a ‘lifestyle related’ question, not specifically designed to record information about your health. There is, however, a growing body of respected research which demonstrates direct links between smoking and your health. The information you provide will be used to direct important research into learning and memory function, and may be disclosed to other respected third party researchers.
Being sensitive to our users, members, clients and partners, we have provided a “rather not say” option for anyone who feels even slightly uncomfortable with this question.
