Current Research
Mother and Child 2020
Mother & Child 2020 study has completed 3 questionnaires to date exploring the events of 2020 (bushfires and COVID-19) and their impact on pregnant women, new mothers and their babies. 988 women completed the bushfire questionnaire, 800 women completed the COVID-19 questionnaire and 700 women completed the pregnancy questionnaire, two-thirds from the ACT, one third from Southeast NSW. The questionnaires are currently being analysed. A new questionnaire will be released very soon to participating women, now with toddlers, to follow up on the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on maternal and family health and wellbeing. Interviews with participants are also underway to explore in-depth experiences of pregnancy and motherhood during the bushfires and COVID-19 of 2020, as well as the ongoing effects of COVID-19 through 2021.
