BaBi Calderdale and Huddersfield
What is BaBi Calderdale & Huddersfield?
This is a project being run by Calderdale & Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust and is part of a group of BaBi research projects all about families and children to help us to learn more about how families in our area and beyond can live healthier, happier lives.
How does BaBi Calderdale & Huddersfield work?
When you see your midwife, they will invite you to become part of the study. If you agree to take part, health researchers will join together lots of data about you and your child so that we can look at ways to improve health, care and services through research and planning in Calderdale & Huddersfield and beyond. We are asking everyone who is pregnant in Calderdale & Huddersfield to join the project.
Why do BaBi Calderdale & Huddersfield want to use my information?
By linking information from both your patient records and your child’s patient record, we can build up a much clearer picture of people’s lives and answer questions that may help to improve health, care and services through research and planning. Your information can help us begin to explore questions like:
• Are there relationships between things that happen in pregnancy and children’s future health?
• How many children in our area have asthma? Are children in some areas more likely to get asthma than children in other areas?
• How common is postnatal depression or diabetes in pregnancy? What could be done to help prevent depression or diabetes and provide support for the family?
