Re Exercise and Birth Weight Project As you may be aware, my colleagues and I are undertaking a nationwide study into the effects of regular exercise by a mother during her pregnancy to determine whether or not various patterns of exercise have any influence on the birth weight of babies. We are hoping that you may be able to establish at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Ballarat an information and monitoring group; to assist us with gathering relevant data from expecting mothers in the Ballarat region. Each person participating in the study would be required to keep a weekly diary of his or her exercise regime. She or he would also be required to attend two interview sessions at the hospital. And she or he would also have to be prepared to allow the monitoring group access to her medical records and those of her baby once it is born. Naturally, all the collected information would not be recorded under her name and absolute confidentiality of records would be assured. The monitoring groups that have been established in other areas have included the following personnel: one obstetrician or gynaecologist (he would be expected to attend a monthly meeting); one nurse with midwife training (we would need her to attend more regular meetings, possibly once a month) and one hospital administrator (he would attend all meetings). We are able to provide you with a more detailed account of the purposes and methods of the research project. Please let me know if your department in the Royal Women’s Hospital in Ballarat might be able to involve itself in this important research. You can contact me on (03 9365 1712) or my assistant, Dr Silvia Brancusi (she is available on the same number). Yours sincerely Jonathan Powers Tutorial Ten House Styles Style guides Style guides are those general rules covering a publisher’s decisions about style. These include choices to do with preferred spellings, abbreviations, use of numerals, punctuation and so on. Your Style Manual is a style guide used by a number of publishers and other organisations in Australia. There are a number of others. Go to the reference section of the library and find another 6 books that could be used as style guides. List them below: _______________________________________
