Collaborators and acknowledgements
Over a million women in the UK have given their time and energy to fill in detailed questionnaires about their health. The main acknowledgement is undoubtedly due to them. The contribution from many individuals at each of the collaborating NHS Breast Screening Centres (listed below) is also gratefully acknowledged; and we thank staff at General Practices throughout the UK for their generous help in collecting blood samples for The Disease Susceptibility Study
