Summary
Substance use and mental disorders are among the leading causes of burden of disease in young people globally. Effective prevention and early intervention can reduce disease burden by halting, interrupting or delaying the onset and development of disorder. The PREMISE CRE will build the science to move the field from crisis, acute care and containment to prevention and early intervention, achieving a critical aim of the Australian Government’s program of reform in mental health and addiction.
Population Health At The Clinical Interface: Pregnancy And Childbirth
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,577,944.00
Summary
While major pregnancy and childbirth issues (such preterm birth) persist, new challenges (such as increased obstetric interventions) have arisen. This CRE will prepare a new generation of scientists to use the most advanced research methods to address new challenges in perinatal health in a timely manner using large population health data sets. We propose a unique research portfolio that extends from the laboratory bench to the bedside and to population health and health services research.
