An Australian multi-state partnership to prevent preterm birth

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Being born too early is the major cause of death and disability in young children. In WA, early birth has been reduced by a state-wide program including new clinical guidelines, a public health campaign and a new clinic. We now aim to expand this program into NSW and Vic with modifications for their different health care environments. The knowledge gained will then enable a national program that can be expected to prevent death and disability in children and reduce the cost of health care.
