Progress to Date
To date, 2,503 women have joined the MAMMI study of an overall target of 2600, 1847 from the Rotunda, 332 from Galway and 324 from the Coombe. We have completed recruitment in both the Rotunda and Galway. A huge thank you to all the women who have joined the study and the midwives and midwifery students who support the study by giving out information packs in all sites.
Recruitment in the Coombe Women and Infants University Hospital Dublin began in September 2015, where we will recruit an additional 600 women, and we are delighted with the warm response received.

We are really pleased that so many women have committed to the MAMMI study and complete each of the postnatal surveys - even when women have such busy lives caring for their family.
