Funded Activity Summary

Pregnancy provides an opportunity to improve short and long-term health of both women and babies. Provision of high-quality, appropriate pregnancy care is a vital step in reducing health disparities in Australia. I will conduct public health research that improves pregnancy care for three populations of women at risk of poor health before and during pregnancy: women of refugee background, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
