Perinatal Genetic Screening From the Perspective of India-Born Individuals and Healthcare Providers in Victoria, Australia
Advances in genomic technologies are providing people with access to earlier diagnoses, intervention, and treatment of genetic conditions. However, there are inequities in access to and experiences of genomic technologies for several communities, such as people from non-European backgrounds and people who are born outside the country in which they reside. It is crucial to understand whether and how these issues manifest in different genomic healt…
Maternal micronutrient consumption periconceptionally and during pregnancy
Objective To examine overall micronutrient intake periconceptionally and throughout pregnancy in a population-based cohort of Australian women. Design In a prospective cohort study, micronutrient dosages were extracted from self-reported maternal supplement use, recorded pre-conception, and for each trimester of pregnancy. A food frequency scale (DQESv2) captured usual maternal diet for gestational weeks 14–26. The influence of sociodemographic a…
Alcohol consumption in a general antenatal population and child neurodevelopment at 2 years
BACKGROUND: Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is a community health problem with up to 50% of pregnant women drinking alcohol. The relationship between low or sporadic binge PAE and adverse child outcomes is not clear. This study examines the association between PAE in the general antenatal population and child neurodevelopment at 2 years, accounting for relevant contributing factors. METHODS: This prospective population-based cohort recruited 1570…
Did you ever drink more?” A detailed description of pregnant women’s drinking patterns
We have identified characteristics of pregnant women who either abstain, drink until pregnancy awareness or drink throughout pregnancy. These may assist in targeting strategies to enhance adherence to an abstinence policy and ultimately allow for appropriate follow-up and interpretation of adverse child outcomes. Our methodology also produced important information to reduce misclassification of occasional binge drinking episodes and ensure clearl…
High school Tay–Sachs disease carrier screening
No thanks’—reasons why pregnant women declined an offer of cystic fibrosis carrier screening
Evaluation of a decision aid for prenatal testing of fetal abnormalities
The findings from this trial will make a significant contribution to improving women's experience of prenatal testing and will have application to a variety of maternity care settings. The evaluation of a tailored decision aid will also have implications for pregnancy care providers by identifying whether or not such a resource will support their role in providing prenatal testing information
Life after Death Row
Historically, South Africa has had one of the highest rates of judicial executions in the world. In February 1990, President F.W. de Klerk announced a moratorium on all executions, and three months later, the Death Penalty Act was passed. At present, there is a de facto moratorium on executions, although the death sentence continues to be passed. Philip Takedi is a former death row prisoner, whose sentence was overturned. His experience of having…
