Project summary: The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in antenatal clients in the Kimberley. This will be done through data collection from patient information systems and will not require the clients to have any extra testing done or to complete any surveys or questionnaires. The data will be collected and assessed according to the levels of vitamin d during pregnancy and all data will be de-identified. The final results will include only vitamin D level, indigenous status and health service attended. The data will be made available to KAMSC to include in the antenatal protocol if warrented.
