Why is study important?
The Queensland Family Cohort (QFC) Study is aiming to understand parental and environmental factors that influence healthy child growth and well-being throughout life. We are looking at both physical and mental health of parents and
children — starting in pregnancy and continuing throughout early childhood across Queensland.

Pregnant participants and their partners
are invited to join if they are between 12-24 weeks pregnant and living in Queensland.
What's involved for particpants?
Participation is entirely online, using a
secure automated survey platform. Surveys are completed from 24 weeks pregnant - 5 years. The surveys include validated questions selected by expert researchers.
Benefits for participants
As a thank you for participation, we are offering a $200 grocery voucher quarterly prize draw for every completed survey.
Why should you help?
