Million-person health study launches The US National Institutes of Health has launched its ‘All of Us’ research programme, which aims to gather health data from 1 million US adults. The project will also attempt to redress the historical focus on white, male clinical participants by oversampling other groups of people. But the work is likely to face data privacy worries triggered by the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica controversy and the news that police used a public DNA database to track a suspected serial killer.
