NHS3 is the new generation of the Nurses’ Health Studies. The original focus of NHS was on contraceptive methods, smoking, cancer, and heart disease, but has expanded over time to include research on many other lifestyle factors, behaviors, personal characteristics, and more than 30 diseases. NHS3 aims to represent nurses’ diverse backgrounds, and participation has expanded to include nurses and nursing students of any gender living in the US and Canada.
