Studies seeking volunteers

There are a number of studies providing the opportunity to be involved in life changing research across the lifespan.

Happy Parenting Program – investigating new ways to provide support to parents with young children from an early age to discover how we can better help parents establish a good relationship with their child from infancy

ACE Feeding Study – collecting information on the opinions and attitudes of new mothers around breastfeeding, as well as looking at the breastfeeding rates of women in WA.

In addition, the ECU Health Centre Research Register is a database of people who agree to receive information about research projects which match their areas of interest. You can read more information and register your details on the ECU Health Centre website.
