How do maternal and perinatal outcomes vary by model of care.

Maternity care in Victoria is provided under a number of models of care. Model of care has recently been added to the data provided on all births in Victoria. This project uses contemporary epidemiological methods to examine access to various models, details of care provided in diferent models and a number of maternal and neonatal outcomes according to the model of antenatal care and intrapartum care. The dataset is available and will require manipulation and analysis. The project will suit students with knowledge of current maternity care in Australia, interested in investigating the different models of maternity care. It will provide an opportunity to develop skills in data management and causal analysis, as well as writing the results for publication.
