The second health survey was conducted from 1966-1968, involved the health screening of 3000 GPO employees, male and female, as a pilot for the larger Whitehall Study that began the proceeding year. The study also included a second phase of intervention trials for high-risk individuals for smoking cessation, weight loss and reducing blood sugar.
