The Commission provided seed funding to Murdoch University to commence a Child Health Study in Peel. The study will follow the course of 2000 pregnant women across the region for interdependent streams of investigation into the psychosocial, biological and environmental pathways to child health and wellbeing, including the influence of community. This will be a longitudinal study which will provide feedback to the Peel throughout its course as well as at is conclusion. For further information on the Peel Child Health Study, see here.
