A Quinns Rocks family who became the 1000th family to sign up for the ORIGINS Project is excited to be contributing to such ground-breaking research.
The Kids for Child Health Research will join more than 50 scientists from 36 research institutions around the world to improve early nutrition
Dietary intake during the first year of life is a key determinant of a child's growth and development. ORIGINS is a longitudinal birth cohort study investigating factors that contribute to a 'healthy start to life' and the prevention of non-communicable diseases.
Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials have found that introducing eggs and peanuts earlier during infancy reduced egg and peanut allergy risk. Hence, infant feeding advice has dramatically changed from previous recommendations of avoidance to current recommendations of inclusion of common food allergens in infant diets.
The Early Human Capability Index is a holistic measure intended to capture early child development across diverse cultures and contexts.
Child health and development researchers are increasingly turning to Western Australia's extensive population datasets for their ground-breaking work.
We know that place, location, and geography can all influence health, wellbeing, and disease, and thus are important factors in policy development and service planning.
Dissociative symptoms are linked to experiences of trauma, often originating in childhood and adolescence. Dissociative disorders are associated with a high burden of illness and a poor quality of life. Despite evidence suggesting that early intervention can improve outcomes, little research exists on the treatment of dissociative disorders in childhood and adolescence.
The Kids Research Institute Australia is bringing science to the Kimberley, with a series of free activities for children and families in Broome in the leadup to National Science Week.
A problem that applied researchers and practitioners often face is the fact that different institutions within research consortia use different scales to evaluate the same construct which makes comparison of the results and pooling challenging.
