Nutrition during pregnancy study

We are recruiting 450 pregnant women to help us with a research study looking at food sources and dietary intakes of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients are important for the baby’s growth and brain development and to support a health pregnancy. The study involves an anonymous online questionnaire which will only take about 15 – 20 minutes of your time.

In New Zealand we have very limited information about the diets of pregnant women and it is unknown if dietary recommendations for these key nutrients are being met. Further information for the study in available here.

This study is part of my Masters in Human Nutrition and has been reviewed and approved by the Massey University Human Ethics Committee: Northern, Application 14/027. If you have any concerns about the conduct of this research, please contact Dr Lily George, Acting Chair, Massey University Human Ethics Committee: Northern, telephone 09 414 0800 x 43279 email [email protected].
