Project Talent Health and Wellness Study
The Project Talent Health and Wellness Study explores social and environmental factors that can contribute to healthy living at ages 60, 70, and beyond. The neighborhoods we grew up in, the schools we attended, the jobs we had, and our social connections all play a role in our long-term health and wellness.
One of the key questions we are seeking to answer is, “What allows us to thrive well into our later years?”
What is this study about?
If you are a Project Talent participant and you would like to be removed from this study, please contact the study team.
Please know that no names are included in the study data, and all data are combined for analysis. No person will ever be named in any findings. No person or group of 10 people or less will ever be shown in published findings.
By looking at the relationships between social and environmental factors and health, we can better understand risks for poor health outcomes. We can see how these risks vary for different groups of people and learn why some communities have greater risk than others.
Why does this matter?
Understanding what factors affect our ability to age well can help guide the development of policies and practices that support healthy aging for all people.
What are we doing?

In this study, survey data collected from Project Talent participants since 1960 are linked to participants’ claims data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. This allows us to look at health care use and health outcomes among Project Talent participants enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid.
