At the Food & Mood Centre, we need your help!
We’re running an important study focused on diet and health for women and babies during pregnancy and beyond. There’s still so much we don’t know about how diet might affect the health of pregnant women and their babies!
STUDY AIM
We are running this study to test an educational dietary program delivered throughout the third trimester of pregnancy (starting from week 26), to see if it is helpful to women, and also to assess any effects the program might have on certain aspects of health in pregnant women and babies. If you are eligible for the study, you would be asked to start participating from the beginning of your third trimester (week 26), through to 4 weeks after your baby is born. The benefit of the study is that it could offer new insights into how diet might affect health. It may also help with making future recommendations about supporting mothers’ diets during pregnancy.
If you or someone you know is pregnant and living in Melbourne, please pass the link onto them. Click here to find out if you are eligible to participate.
