The Early Human Capability Index is a holistic measure intended to capture early child development across diverse cultures and contexts.
Child health and development researchers are increasingly turning to Western Australia's extensive population datasets for their ground-breaking work.
We know that place, location, and geography can all influence health, wellbeing, and disease, and thus are important factors in policy development and service planning.
The Kids for Child Health Research will join more than 50 scientists from 36 research institutions around the world to improve early nutrition

Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials have found that introducing eggs and peanuts earlier during infancy reduced egg and peanut allergy risk. Hence, infant feeding advice has dramatically changed from previous recommendations of avoidance to current recommendations of inclusion of common food allergens in infant diets.
The estimated effectiveness of SMS (short message service) reminders for improving childhood vaccine coverage and timeliness has varied in previous studies. The observed heterogeneity in effectiveness may be explained in part by variation in reminder content or timing of the reminder relative to the vaccine schedule date. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of a range of SMS reminders of varied content and timing for improving on-time childhood vaccination.
We assessed the impact of maternally derived pertussis antibodies on infant responses to a 2 + 1 vaccine schedule (6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 12 months). Infants with baseline antibodies showed lower IgG responses following the primary vaccination series, but this did not impair booster responses at 4 years of age.
