STARS is a multi site study and the Perth site is testing an online screening tool and service model to identify and support parental mental health and psychosocial needs as well as developmental challenges in young children to optimise their lifelong potential.
Beyond early childhood identification and intervention, the model is expected to enhance family psychosocial wellbeing and parent mental health through tailored and accessible supports.
We are currently recruiting participants and have enrolled 22 out of the 140 participants we are hoping to enlist before Xmas 2025.
The Kids Research Institute Australia is based within the Perth Children’s Hospital, and is one of the largest, and most successful medical research institutes in Australia, comprising a dedicated and diverse team of around 1,000 staff, students and honoraries. We've created a bold blueprint that brings together community, researchers, practitioners, policy makers and funders, who share our vision to improve the health and wellbeing of children through excellence in research.
