3. Cost Effectiveness Study

Phase 3: Cost Effectiveness Study

This phase will explore whether there are extra costs that would be needed to use adiposity measurements in routine pregnancy care. We will also explore the benefits for improving health outcomes for women, pregnant people, and their babies.

This can help the NHS make decisions about which measures would be the best use of resources to improve the health outcomes for women and pregnant people, and their babies.
