Parents of neurodivergent children with asthma needed!

The University of Newcastle are interested in understanding the healthcare experiences of neurodivergent children when accessing support for their asthma, from the perspective of their parent/caregiver.

Are you:
➡️ a parent of a neurodivergent child with asthma?
➡️ aged 18 years or over?
➡️ a parent with access healthcare in Australia?

To participate, you would complete a 1-hour interview either on zoom or at the University of Newcastle Callaghan campus and short questionnaire.

Meet Lyn! One of our Registered Nurse Researchers based at our John Hunter Hospital Site.

Lyn moved to Newy from Tasmania not long before joining the team, and whilst her favourite place to walk is still the island state, she's loved the warmth and beaches of Newcastle since moving here!

If you attend our John Hunter Hospital study site you might be lucky enough to meet Lyn at your visit, and she'll be ready to answer all your questions about managing your asthma during pregnancy!

Alexandra Overton made the news earlier this month - what a great way to promote the TTAP study!

She said "Every pregnancy is different, and so is every woman’s asthma. The treatable traits approach allows us to look more closely at each woman’s individual needs".

Meet Alex! Our delightful Registered Midwife Research Clinician at our Queanbeyan Hospital site. She is also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant - or IBCLC for short.

Alex is loving the new challenge of coordinating a research study site, and meeting the new TTAP Mums.

She will be able to walk you through all that is involved in being in the study, keeping you and your baby (or babies!) healthy and well informed as you manage your asthma throughout your pregnancy.
