A glint or a squint should make you think! A randomised, controlled study to determine the impact of an eye-health awareness program for new parents [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Mrs Sandra Staffieri (Principal investigator)

Brief description Retinoblastoma (RB) is a rare, blinding and sometimes fatal, childhood eye cancer. The earliest diagnosis affords the child the best prognosis for retaining their sight, eye or their life. This project will examine parents’ current understanding of the symptoms and signs for RB, identify barriers to early diagnosis of RB, and to develop, implement and evaluate a sustainable public health awareness program to potentially improve the timing of diagnosis and subsequent outcomes for this disease.
