Health and Wellbeing of men during the perinatal period

The QLD family cohort study and the Indigenous QLD Family cohort study have both collect broad health data and measures from mothers and their partners during pregnancy. Research data includes but is not limited to, chronic disease, nutritional intake, alcohol and other drugs, mental health, physical activity, sleep, asthma and allergies.

  • Opportunities exist for a PhD student to work alongside this research team to understand the health of men during this time frame.
  • Supervisors will work with candidates to develop a PhD project that is both in line with the candidate’s research interests and fits within scope of other activities.
