Now that we have FINISHED recruiting mothers into the PATPA study and have COMPLETED all our pregnancy and postnatal interviews the analysis of these phases of study is well underway and we look forward to presenting these results to you throughout this year. We have posted our first newsletter please click on this link Publications & Results
toddler follow up phase progress:
We are also well into the further follow-up phase more about PATPA
Those mothers who indicated they would be interested in further contact are being contacted as their baby approaches 18mths of age. Again, we have been overwhelmed with the willingness of the mothers to carry on with the study. At this stage 132 NSW mothers have completed this phase thus far. We will soon be contacting our mothers in Victoria.
We would like to keep in contact
If your contact details have changed please go to Contact Us and send an email with your new details.
