Brief description Young Aboriginal women are more likely to have children when they are under 25 than other women in SA. They are also much more likely to be overweight or obese. Together these two characteristics have profound consequences for a woman's health and increased risks for poor birth outcomes. A novel package of culturally appropriate and intensive nutrition strategies, embedded in the SA Aboriginal Family Birthing Program will be developed and assessed to see its impact on women's and child health.
