Growing Up Today Study (GUTS)

The Growing Up Today Study (GUTS) is a long-term research project that follows a large group of adolescents and young adults over time to understand how various factors influence their health and development. Initiated by Harvard University and the National Institutes of Health, it collects data on topics like eating habits, physical activity, mental health, and social behaviors. By tracking participants over years, GUTS helps researchers identify patterns and contributing factors to health issues, informing prevention and intervention strategies to improve youth well-being.
