DOLFIN Trial

Babies who are born very early, or who suffer poor blood supply or lack of oxygen to the brain before or around birth, are more likely to have problems with their brain development and child neurological development. 

This may affect how children think and learn, communicate, play, and interact with the world around them. 

DOLFIN aims to answer the research question: In babies who are born very early or who suffer poor blood supply or lack of oxygen to the brain before or around birth, does giving a nutritional supplement daily for a year improve long-term cognitive development? 

The DOLFlN app allows parents to submit information about these nutritional supplements and their children.
