Participant Information

What information is collected

Information is gathered approximately every trimester during pregnancy, via telephone and/or face-to-face interviews. The information collected includes:

• the mother’s social, family and medical history
• details of the mother’s mental illness and medications prescribed
• obstetric history and outcomes
• information about the baby’s health and wellbeing

The researcher may also collect additional information about the participant’s medical history from the healthcare professionals involved in her care, if the participant gives her permission.

During the first year of the baby’s life, the researcher also contacts the mother when the baby is six weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months old. This is to ask the mother about:

• her health
• her baby’s health
• her experiences of being a mother
