Projects
We will investigate ways of taking the following projects forward by finding collaborators and
possibly funding.
1. Collaborate with a statistician to conduct the statistical analysis of the two country’s data
sets and from this produce a peer reviewed journal article.
2. Conduct a systematic review that would build on and up data Bayrampour & Heaman’s
(2010) review; this could be used to track trends in caesarean levels for older mothers.
3. Consider the qualitative literature on women’s experiences and those of midwives and
obstetricians on older motherhood and risk.
4. Projects 1-3 could form the basis of a proposal for research funding to conduct the
statistical analysis, the systematic reviews and conduct some comparative qualitative
research.
5. LF will collaborate on a paper on BMI and childbirth with KV-J and colleagues.
