So we thought we'd give you an update on what we've been up to since the surveys are now wrapped up.  \nWe've been looking at all of the data we've collected over time from yarning with women, completed surveys and clinical data.  \nWe got some deadly news to share with you about our ndings on preterm birth! This newsletter focuses on the Birthing in Our Community program birth outcomes. We haven't analysed the data for the Ngarrama maternity service and will keep you updated!  \n“Birth is a child’s rst ceremony. It is a sacred time for families. So it is important we get it right. Supporting healthy mothers to have healthy births provides our children with their best chance to 􀀝ourish, and that can truly change their life trajectory” – Jody Currie, CEO of ATSICHS Brisbane  \nWHAT IS A  \nBIRTHING ON COUNTRY SERVICE  \nA Birthing on Country Service is a maternal and infant health service that has Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, families and communities involved in the leadership, design, delivery and monitoring of the service to ensure the best start in life for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander babies.  \nWe found by adapting the Birthing on Country model into an Urban setting we were able to create a 'one stop shop' to women to be able to get the holistic care they needed. This in turn created a sense of trust between the women and the service and boosted attendance and engagement.  \nFA C T  \nAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander preterm birth rates are more than 50% higher than other people across Australia  \nThe Birthing in Our Community program opened in 2013 and was formed in partnership with the Institute for Urban Indigenous Health, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Health Service Brisbane Ltd, and Mater Mothers Hospital to improve health outcomes for our mob.  \nOne of the key areas of focus was preventing avoidable preterm births.  \nThe Indigenous Birthing in an Urban Setting Study was set up to see whether the Birthing in Our Community program was working to improve outcomes. This was a ve year study, we gathered information from clinical data as well as yarning to women about their experiences. We also yarned with women birthing with Ngarrama maternity at RBWH.  \nPRETERM BIRTHS  \nREDUCED  \nBY HALF!  \nin the Birthing in Our Community Program  \nHAVING MORE HEALTHY FULL TERM BABIES IS ASOCIAL INVESTMENT IN C OMMUNIT Y WELLBEING  \nPreterm birth can be stressful.
