Bendigo family study is now a registered national trial

The Bendigo Family Study has now been registered with the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials registry with the number ACTRN12624000240549p

We have submitted our trial for ethics review and are in the process of designing our promotional materials. We hope to commence recruiting in the middle of the year.

In the next series of posts we plan to provide more information on each of our planned subsidiary studies. 

​We also recently presented findings from our Australian Fathers Study in Christchurch NZ and the key findings indicated that new fathers experience postnatal depression at similar rates to those seen in new mothers. We plan to explore this same concern in our rural cohort of new fathers in Bendigo, who may also face issues with distance and lack of access to care.
