The Peckham Experiment was a study into the nature of health. The researchers decided to study the family unit in a community setting to study what contributes to human health. In a purpose built centre/laboratory, known as the Pioneer Health Centre they conducted that research by annual medical checks and observations of families interacting in social activities.
