Welcome to the Michigan State University Twin Registry (MSUTR)!
|
Michigan Twins Project (MTP)
The
Michigan Twins Project (MTP) is a mail-in twin registry of all twins
between the ages of 3 and 25 within Michigan. Twin families
are recruited through birth records in collaboration with the Michigan
Department of Community Health. Families complete and return a
very brief questionnaire that assesses family composition and the
health status of both parents and twins. Families are compensated with
a Meijer gift card
for their participation and are given the opportunity to participate in
future twin studies offering additional financial compensation. Data
from the MTP will offer critical new insights into the development of
major health conditions (e.g., heart disease, asthma, depression, etc.)
that carry significant individual and public health consequences. This
study is directed by Drs. Alexandra Burt and Kelly Klump.
