Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Katherine Benfer (Principal investigator)

Brief description This study explores the effectiveness of early detection and intervention for infants at risk of cerebral palsy in Indigenous Australia. Infants will be detected by 3 months, and randomly assigned to one of two intervention groups; home-based peer-delivered multi-domain intervention, or health advice. Infants receiving the novel intervention are expected to have improved developmental outcomes, and caregivers improved mental health.
