Statistical methods / analysis
Simple statistics will be performed to describe the data set. Primary and secondary analyses for each substudy shall be as specified in the protocol above. Descriptive statistics will be applied. Discrete data presented as N (%) and continuous data as mean (SD) if normally distributed and median (IQR) if nonparametric. Discrete data will be compared using Chi square tests and continuous data using non paired t-test, unless nonparametric, in which case Mann Whitney U test will be applied. Univariate and multivariate analyses will be performed with multivariate analysis including those relevant variables significant at a p<0.1 in univariate analysis. A p-value of <0.05 will be deemed significant. Power calculation for each of the 11 substudies has been prospectively determined in the study protocol.

The Canberra Family Study aims to explore 11 outcomes through use of validated questionnaires administered to new parents. The key questions in our 11 substudies are: 1) How do we enhance maternity models of care? 2) How do we increase healthcare advocacy? 3) What supplements do women take in pregnancy and why? 4) What will enhance the birth experience? 5) How to help IVF parents to parent? 6) How do we help parents of preterm babies to parent? 7) How do we help mothers’ confidence with parenting 8) How do we ensure there is optimal follow up of women who experienced a pregnancy complication? 9) Explore if there is a relationship between sleep and pregnancy outcomes, 10) Helping parents manage chronic disease in the community, and 11) Helping new fathers.
