“…Historical cohort data were gathered in diverse ways from 2001 to 2011 (Ooki & Hiko, 2012). A database was constructed of families with multiple births, consisting of 951 mothers of twins and higher order multiples from several associations for parents of multiples throughout Japan (Ooki & Asaka, 2005).…”

It is desirable for twin researchers to be aware of the needs and concerns of families of multiples and provide participants with appropriate and useful feedback and advice based on scientific evidence. Our most recent database on families with twins throughout Japan is based on a questionnaire survey conducted in 2016. Mailed questionnaires, consisting of over 500 items, were used to collect the basic data. The response rate was 38% (566/1478). This is part of a nationwide study designed to assess the long-term effect of perinatal conditions on mothers of multiples. Its aim was to study the growth and development of multiples in childhood, and for the creation of a multifetal mother and child health handbook, and to conduct a genetic epidemiologic study to test the developmental origin of health and disease hypothesis. One of the ultimate aims of this research was to provide evidence-based information on parenting of multiples for families with multiples.

“…Given this background, the construction of a database of families with multiples in childhood began in 2004 at the prefectural level in Ishikawa prefecture. The detailed strategy and methods for constructing this network have been reported elsewhere (Ooki, 2006(Ooki, , 2009Ooki & Hiko, 2012).…”

“…This strategy is welcomed by the many participants and other involved parties. Finally, the JAMBA was established on February 22, 2010 (the date 2/22 chosen to symbolically reflect twins), in celebration of families with multiples (Ooki & Hiko, 2012). This association became a member of The International Council of Multiple Birth Organizations on June 2010.…”

“…Multiple birth is associated with substantial medical, health care, socio-emotional, developmental, educational, and economic consequences for both families and society (Bryan, 2003(Bryan, , 2006Denton, 2005;Leonard & Denton, 2006;Ooki, 2009;Ooki & Hiko, 2012). The nurturing of multiples entails a higher burden physically, mentally, and economically than that of singletons.…”

To gain widespread participation, epidemiologic studies of twins from pregnancy through the childhood period are expected to reflect the needs and concerns of families and provide participants with appropriate and useful feedback based on scientific evidence. Our most recent database on families with twins throughout Japan is based on a questionnaire survey conducted from January 2010 to August 2011. Mailed or hand-delivered questionnaires, consisting of over 550 items were used to collect the basic data. The response rate was 40% (956/2,401). This is part of a nation-wide study designed to assess the long-term effect of perinatal conditions on mothers of multiples. Its aim was to study the growth and development of multiples in childhood, and to conduct a genetic epidemiologic study to test the developmental origin of health and disease hypothesis. One of the ultimate aims of this research was to provide evidence-based information on parenting multiples from pregnancy through childhood to families with multiples.

“…(Harvey et al, 2014) Pregnancy and the transition to parenthood are widely recognized as critical time periods that will influence longer term outcomes for infants and their families (Department of Health & Social Care, 2021). Multiple birth families require health and social care practitioners who are both knowledgeable and responsive and are able to adapt and lead in the provision of high quality, individualized care, and support (Jena et al, 2011;Nurse & Kenner, 2011;Ooki & Hiko, 2012) Multiple births present an increased risk of complications for the mother and her babies, which can affect family life and wellbeing.…”

Objective: To explore the current practice and perceptions of health visitors in supporting multiple birth families. Design and sample:Practicing health visitors across the United Kingdom were invited to complete a cross-sectional, descriptive, online survey. The questionnaire covered multiple birth caseload, education received about multiples and the experience of working with families. Two-hundred and ninety health visitors completed the questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis of the quantitative components and thematic analysis for the qualitative data.Results: Most health visitors had twins on their current workload. Most health visitors had not received any specific training or continuing professional development regarding the needs of multiple birth families. Supporting the families within the confines of reduced time and increased workload was challenging. Daily tasks of caring for multiples were the main areas that health visitors and parents wanted more information about. Conclusions:In the United Kingdom, health visitors are uniquely positioned to support multiple birth families, in particular during the more challenging early years. However, the findings of this study suggest that many health visitors are aware that the care and support that they are able to provide multiple birth families falls short of meeting their needs
