Overview

The Aboriginal families study is a research study that has been developed in collaboration with the Aboriginal Health Council of South Australia based on state-wide consultations with Aboriginal communities and policy makers in South Australia.

The study aims to collect population level data documenting:

• women's experiences of services during pregnancy, childbirth and the first few months postpartum
• the social health of Aboriginal women and families during and after pregnancy

The purpose of collecting this information and conducting the study is to inform development of maternity and postnatal services for Aboriginal women and families in South Australia.
