Ask any parent what they want for their children, and they usually answer: “for them to be happy and healthy”.
But what is it that makes children grow up happy and healthy? Is it their family or their environment? What about their culture and beliefs? Maybe it’s the child’s personality. Or perhaps they are shaped by their health and education.
Whatever it is, researchers at the University of Auckland, with researchers from Massey, Victoria and Otago universities are working together to find out. So the answers can be used to improve the lives of all our children.
The study starts in pregnancy and follows the babies until they are 21. If you’ve ever seen the BBC programmes Child of Our Time or the 7 Up series, then this study is a lot like them.
There are only two criteria to meet:
First, you need to be pregnant and your baby must be due on or before 25 March 2010 next year. Fathers and partners are also invited to join - after all, they’re just as important to babies as their mums are!
Second, you need to live in one of these three district health board areas: Auckland, Counties-Manukau and Waikato (Unfortunately, the Auckland DHB does not include North Shore City or Waitakere city).
Every pregnant woman who meets these two simple criteria is invited to join
So that the findings are powerful and representative of all our children, we’re inviting all pregnant mums into the study. Don’t think that participating in research is not for you - it is!
