This survey aims to determine current practices and potential barriers that General Practitioners (GP’s) face when providing preconception and antenatal care to women for alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking and gestational weight gain. This information will be used to develop appropriate strategies to support GP’s working in the Hunter and New England regions to provide such care to women.

The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Please note that participating in this survey is completely voluntary. All answers you provide are strictly confidential. By completing the survey, it is implied that you give your consent to participate.

The information provided will be used to identify what support is needed to best meet the needs of GP’s in providing preconception and antenatal care for health risk behaviours. Research reports that are based on the survey information will not identify any individual participant or their answers.

The research team conducting this survey consists of people from Hunter New England Population Health, University of Newcastle, Hunter Primary Care and Hunter Postgraduate Medical Institute.
