Brief summary
The Canberra Family Study aims to explore 11 outcomes through use of validated questionnaires administered to new parents. The key questions in our 11 substudies are: 1) How do we enhance maternity models of care? 2) How do we increase healthcare advocacy? 3) What supplements do women take in pregnancy and why? 4) What will enhance the birth experience? 5) How to help IVF parents to parent? 6) How do we help parents of preterm babies to parent? 7) How do we help mothers’ confidence with parenting 8) How do we ensure there is optimal follow up of women who experienced a pregnancy complication? 9) Explore if there is a relationship between sleep and pregnancy outcomes, 10) Helping parents manage chronic disease in the community, and 11) Helping new fathers.
Interventions
Following the birth of the baby (between D1 and day 28 postpartum), new mothers and their partners will complete a questionnaire containing several validated tools to assess models of care, advocacy, mental health symptoms, birth experience, breastfeeding, parenting, sleep, and chronic disease management.. They will also have the pregnancy record and newborn record audited
