The SAGA Cohort

The SAGA Cohort is a nationwide study on the impact of trauma on women’s health, that launched in 2018, with a recruitment period of one year [15]. The target population is all women, 18–69 years old, residing in Iceland. In the pilot study performed in 2014, a random sample of 689 adult women living in the greater Reykjavik area and attending the national Cancer Detection Clinic were invited to participate. All women had appointments for routine breast and cervical cancer screens from February through April of 2014. Nationally, 85% and 92% of eligible Icelandic women have attended the respective screens at least once [16]. Over 70% (n = 509) of the invited women responded to the online questionnaire and then attended the clinical visit in conjunction with their screening.
