MRC Epidemiology Unit South Wales

The following web pages provide information about the former MRC Epidemiology Unit in South Wales.

In particular, it provides detailed information about the Caerphilly Prospective Study (CAPS); the data that were collected and how to gain access to these data for new collaborative research.

All the unit's materials were transferred to the Department of Social Medicine, University of Bristol, in 1999 to act as custodians and enable research to continue. This was made possible by funding from the MRC who maintain an active interest in this study.
