The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between emotional health and wellbeing and support needs of perinatal women during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to understand their experiences and need for support. This is a potentially vulnerable group and a critical developmental phase for women and infants.

With well-established evidence that early life conditions have a profound influence on lifespan and health-span, new interventional birth cohorts are examining ways to optimise health potential of individuals and communities. These are aimed at going beyond preventing disease, to the conditions that facilitate flourishing from an early age.

Positive mental health, flourishing, and resilience to stress are not only critical to the overall wellbeing of a person but also their physical health, affecting both chronic and acute health conditions

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 is collecting data from multiple sources from the mother, infant and partner at multiple timepoints from gestation through to five years of age.

ORIGINS is celebrating its first five-year-old 'graduates'.
