Did you know that everyone who completes our Health and Lifestyle Questionnaire is automatically entered into a draw to win an iPad?

There will be one winner for every 5,000 entries, with Jenni Haines from NSW having just been announced as the lucky recipient of our first iPad prize.

The idea behind the HLQ is to enable research. It has been specifically developed for our members and asks a range of questions about your family, background, health and lifestyle. It is hoped that this information will better define our membership and make it easier to help researchers find the twins they need for their projects.

Sometimes it can be a little like finding a needle in a haystack trying to source the right twins for some research projects. The HLQ is already proving to be invaluable in this respect with three of our latest studies able to recruit twins with known conditions. This will save us time and will allow us to send only the most relevant study invitations to you.
