Director of the Jean Hailes Research Unit, Professor Jane Fisher, has chaired a working committee responsible for a new report on the wellbeing of babies in pregnancy and their first 12 months.
The Report on the Evidence: promoting social and emotional development and wellbeing of infants in pregnancy and the first year of life, released this week by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), summarises and analyses 51 separate reviews for its findings.
Professor Fisher hopes the report findings will encourage research involving purpose-designed, well-reported studies that can guide future policy and practice in Australia in the support of parents and caregivers.
