Instructions for reviewers

Review each field against your knowledge of this cohort. Mark Accurate if the value is right, Needs correction if it is wrong or inaccurate (add notes), Not sure if you cannot verify it, or Does not apply if the field is not relevant.
Evidence shown is from our source registry. Fields marked No source yet hold values we could not yet pin to a document — those were AI-inferred and need your input most. Fields marked Searched — not published are ones we looked for and could not find publicly; the note lists where we checked.
Your selections and notes are kept in this browser tab only (not sent to the database). Print or save as PDF when finished, then return it to the DIGIT team.

Summary and status

Field	Current value	Evidence	Source evidence	Response	Notes / correction
Description Required	Epidemiological study of police officers and staff in Great Britain established to investigate possible long-term health effects of TETRA personal radio use (with a major focus on cancer risk) and now supporting broader occupational health research. Baseline recruitment used paper questionnaires and health screening delivered via tours of UK police forces; recruitment ended in March 2015 with a baseline of approximately 53,000 participants. Follow-up health screening ran from November 2015 until the COVID-19 pandemic. Governance materials state the tissue bank is based at Imperial College London with genetics/biosample and data-management functions; the study is listed as a UK Longitudinal Linkage Collaboration partner study for linked longitudinal health and wider administrative data where participant permissions allow.
