'Involving People in Research' website

The University of Western Australia School of Population Health and the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research are pleased to present our website: www.involvingpeopleinresearch.org

This website has been developed to house resources such as the new Fact Sheet Series and will eventually provide a 'one-stop-shop' to support increased consumer and community participation in health research.  It is hoped that you find this website a useful tool in your endeavours to increase participation.  Your feedback is welcomed.

The Cerebral palsy and Birth Defects Registers are now combined under the new name of the Western Australian Register of Developmental Anomalies (WARDA). DSWA has been actively involved in seeing this initiative come to fruition.
