Main aim of cohort, please briefly describe the main objectives of the cohort
  The cohort was established in 2007 with the broad aims to: describe health and ill health within a multi-ethnic (largely bi-ethnic) economically deprived population; identify modifiable causal pathways that promote well-being or contribute to ill health; develop, design and evaluate interventions to promote health; provide a model for integrating operational, epidemiological and evaluative research into practice within the National Health Service and other health-related systems; and build and strengthen local research capacity in Bradford.
