By becoming involved, we will help you to identify any concerns you may have regarding your child, you as a parent or your family so that we can support you with the right help.
Who can participate?
Parents/caregivers of children aged between 6 months to 3 years old and visiting this service or group for any child and family health reason.
What is the study about?
This study will test whether our WMG-E App (with an allocation of a Service Navigator to support you) will result in improvements to your child’s development and your own wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic. This will involve you completing some questionnaires about your child’s skills and your own mental health and psychosocial (emotional, social and financial) concerns at three (at the 0-month, 6-month and 12-month) time points over a one-year period.
Why participate?
Participating in this project may:
Help you and your Child and Family Health Nurse to monitor your child’s developmental milestones
Help identify child developmental concerns early
Help you to identify your mental health and psychosocial needs
Select ‘Agree’ to participate and complete the questionnaires
Alternatively, you can ask your service or group to provide a copy of the Participant Information Statement and Consent Form, and an email invitation to the study will be sent to you.
