A program aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of a chronic wet cough in Aboriginal children has been extended to 14 remote and regional towns in Western Australia - thanks to a partnership between The Kids Research Institute Australia and Cystic Fibrosis WA.

Researchers have worked with communities to come up with a tangible, practical legacy to improve the policy architecture and clinical approaches to drinking during pregnancy

An exciting study is investigating whether a new therapeutic treatment for asthma will protect young sufferers from ongoing lung damage and improve their long-term health outcomes.

Coconut oil has been used on premature babies to help fight off deadly infections. Researchers are now hoping to prove it is effective for other conditions as well.

One third of Australia’s children will be better supported at school, thanks to a The Kids Research Institute Australia evidence review of what works best to support student behaviour needs.

What if researchers could shop for different data to help uncover how, when and why chronic conditions such as asthma, obesity, allergies and poor mental health develop?

A long-held belief linking gut bacteria to autism has been debunked by an Australian research team that included researchers from CliniKids at The Kids Research Institute Australia.
