Pregnancy, nutrition advice and you

Watch Helen talk about the challenge of making pregnancy and nutrition information easily available.

If you are interested, you can choose to complete surveys that will help researchers at Monash develop a better understanding of what people believe is most important for a healthy pregnancy. This will help us design more helpful and effective recommendations for nutrition, health and pregnancy in the future; essentially helping you use food as medicine.

Read About the surveys in Food as Medicine to find out how survey data is going to be used, then if taking part in research sounds like something that interests you, return to this step and complete the surveys. Return to this step to share your thoughts with other learners.
