Funded Activity Summary

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the leading non-infectious cause of infant death in Australia. It is now possible to diagnose babies with CHD while in the womb. However, little is known about how parents respond to a diagnosis of CHD during pregnancy. This unique study will examine and compare parents' experiences following prenatal or postnatal diagnosis of CHD, with the aim of developing clinical services and resources for the supportive care of parents and their infants.
