Climate-fuelled disasters and perinatal health: the catch 22 when undertaking research within an under-resourced health sector

There is a need to overcome structural challenges to MCHN engagement in meaningful research around the impacts of multiple disasters. Appropriate research design, including utilising co-design, adequate resourcing, and planned and considered participant communication may help to improve participant engagement for this important research. With improved sector engagement, the ongoing care of perinatal women in the current environment of multiple and compounding climate-fuelled disasters will be improved.
