Funded Activity Summary

Over 50% of Western Australian Aboriginal babies are still not receiving preventative care in the early months of life. We will undertake a population based trial of a new integrated model of early infant primary care to improve access and health outcomes for young infants especially infants who live in the most disadvantaged and mobile families. Our primary outcome measure is improved hospitalisation rates in infants aged 0-3 months. Results will be used to develop improved primary care models
