A substantial funding boost from the Stan Perron Charitable Foundation will help to further extend one of Australia’s biggest longitudinal child health research studies centred around families from the Joondalup and Wanneroo communities.

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.

ORIGINS has officially reached the study's five-year goal of recruiting 4,000 active participants to the project and has closed recruitment of new families into the active cohort.

By participating in ORIGINS, you are contributing to one of the largest and most comprehensive birth cohort studies ever.
