Dyma'r astudiaeth ymchwil fwyaf o'i math yng Nghymru a'r nod yw recriwtio 260,000 o bobl sy'n 16 oed a hŷn ar ei chyfer. Bydd y gwirfoddolwyr sy'n dewis cymryd rhan yn y prosiect yn ateb cyfres o gwestiynau a fydd yn helpu'r ymchwilwyr i gael gwell dealltwriaeth o iechyd pobl Cymru. Bydd yr wybodaeth sy'n cael ei chasglu’n cael ei defnyddio hefyd i helpu'r Gwasanaeth Iechyd i gynllunio ar gyfer y dyfodol.

Dywedodd y Gweinidog, Rebecca Evans:


> "Gall yr ymchwil ein helpu i ddeall sut i chwilio am well triniaethau, datblygu’r gwasanaethau iechyd a gwasanaethau cymdeithasol, yn ogystal â gwella iechyd a lles pobl Cymru. Y mwyaf o bobl fydd yn cymryd rhan, y mwyaf fydd effaith y canlyniadau, felly dw i'n annog pawb ledled Cymru i gymryd rhan."

Roedd y Gweinidog yn siarad wrth i hysbysebion teledu, radio, trên a phapur newydd gael eu cyflwyno yng Nghymru heddiw. Mae'r hysbysebion yn cynnwys pobl go iawn o Gymru sydd wedi cofrestru ar gyfer y prosiect ac sy'n annog eraill i wneud yr un peth.  
  
Cofrestrodd Helen O'Sullivan o Wrecsam i helpu eraill i ddod dros salwch, cofrestrodd Warwick Leek o Rondda Cynon Taf i godi ymwybyddiaeth am gyflyrau iechyd meddwl, tra bod Sara Crowley o Aberdâr wedi gwirfoddoli i gymryd rhan er mwyn gwella triniaethau diabetes.  
  
Dywedodd Helen, sydd â phrofiad o ganser:


> "Fe wnes i ddarllen am Doeth am Iechyd ar y we ac i mi, y nod yw ysbrydoli eraill. Dw i'n teimlo mor ffodus a dw i wedi cael gofal gwych gan y gwasanaeth iechyd. Fe wnes i gofrestru am fy mod i eisiau helpu menywod eraill i wynebu eu cyflyrau iechyd."

Dywedodd yr Athro Shantini Paranjothy o Brifysgol Caerdydd, Arweinydd Gwyddonol y prosiect:


> "Mae'n bleser cael arwain y prosiect hwn sydd â gwir botensial i wella dealltwriaeth ymysg y cyhoedd a rhoi rhan iddyn nhw ei chwarae mewn ymchwil iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru. Gall pawb sy'n byw yng Nghymru ac sy'n 16 oed neu'n hŷn gymryd rhan yn Doeth am Iechyd. Dw i wedi cofrestru oherwydd fy mod i eisiau cyfrannu fy ngwybodaeth a gwneud gwahaniaeth i iechyd a lles y boblogaeth."

The largest research study of its kind ever to have been undertaken in Wales, HealthWise Wales hopes to recruit 260,000 people aged 16 and older. People who volunteer to take part in the project are asked a series of questions which will help researchers to better understand the health of the people of Wales. The information collected will also be used to help the NHS plan for the future. 

Minister Rebecca Evans said:


> “The research can help us understand how to find better treatments, improve health and social services, and increase the health and wellbeing of the people of Wales. The more people who get involved, the more powerful the results will be so I encourage everybody across Wales to take part.”

The Minister was speaking as new TV, radio, train and newspaper adverts are rolled out across Wales today. The adverts feature real Welsh people who have signed up and are encouraging others to do the same.  
  
Helen O’Sullivan from Wrexham registered to help others overcome illness, Warwick Leek from Rhondda Cynon Taf signed up to help raise awareness of mental health issues, while Sara Crowley from Aberdare volunteered to take part to help improve treatments for diabetes.  
  
Helen, who has experience of cancer, said:


> “I read about HealthWise Wales online and, for me, it’s about trying to inspire other people. I feel so lucky, and have received great care from the NHS. I registered because I wanted to pro\-actively help other women deal with their health issues.”

Professor Shantini Paranjothy from Cardiff University, Scientific Lead for the project, said:


> “I am delighted to lead this project which has great potential to increase the public’s understanding and involvement in health and social care research in Wales. Everyone living in Wales aged 16 and over can get involved with HealthWise Wales. I’ve signed up because I wanted to contribute my information to make a difference to the population’s health and wellbeing.”
