Healthy Future Sask

As part of the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency’s mission to provide leadership in health promotion, early detection, treatment and research, and our vision of a healthy population free from cancer, we are happy to host Healthy Future Sask (HFS). This long-term population health research platform aims to investigate the causes of cancer and other chronic diseases by monitoring the health of Saskatchewan residents for up to 50 years.

The recruitment target for this research study is 7,000+ Saskatchewan residents aged 30 to 74. After consenting, participants will complete a questionnaire, then have the option to provide a blood or saliva sample and/or have physical measurements taken by our study team. During the study, participants will be asked to do follow-up surveys and measurements on multiple occasions so that we can continue to track their health over time. 

Healthy Future Sask is part of the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow's Health (CanPath), the largest population health research project in Canadian history. CanPath is a partnership between seven regional cohorts spanning all ten provinces. This national study, initiated in 2009, has over 330,000 volunteer participants enrolled. Together, we connect health data with researchers nationwide to gain insights and build a healthy future.
