The Growing Well Study (GWS) is working with three BaBi locations — Leeds, Doncaster and East London — to help identify families who may be eligible to take part. These BaBi sites have been established for several years, and many of the children involved now fall within the GWS age range of 6 months to 4 years.
As part of this collaboration, BaBi maternity teams are sending invitations on behalf of the GWS to families who have previously agreed to be contacted about approved research. This allows GWS to reach families in a simple, trusted and efficient way, without BaBi sharing identifiable information directly with the GWS team. Families who receive an invitation can choose whether they would like to take part in the Growing Well Study.
This approach helps ensure that eligible families hear about the study at the right time and supports recruitment across the participating GWS study areas.
