3.2.2 dr wendy abigail
Dr. Wendy Abigail presented research on women's fertility awareness and management. The research examined experiences of women over 30 in South Australia prior to termination of pregnancy. It found varying levels of fertility awareness and contraceptive use. Results were disseminated through peer-reviewed journals, conferences, websites, media and community engagements. This led to the research being recognized with awards and helped promote discussion of women's health issues.
