The ultimate goal of The ORIGINS Project is to reduce the rising epidemic of non-communicable diseases through 'a healthy start to life'.
As well as ORIGINS long-term core research, there are a number of clinical trials, early interventions and shorter-term research studies that sit within ORIGINS. Known as sub-projects, these studies look at multiple aspects of child and family health and development.
The ORIGINS Project provides researchers, students, clinicians and universities with a unique opportunity to play a crucial role in changing the health of future generations.
The ORIGINS Project’s BENEFIT study is looking at whether mums eating more allergenic foods during pregnancy and early breastfeeding would make a difference to their children developing allergies.
The study will enlist 2000 women in early pregnancy, with 700 to be recruited from Perth over the next two years. Read more about the study here.
