Summary
This fellowship involves 3 inter-related bodies of work focussing on adolescent health. Firstly, I will use existing data to better describe the health needs of adolescents living in the Asia-Pacific region, with a focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adolescents. Secondly, I will identify priority areas for better data collection and explore novel methods to fill key gaps. Thirdly, I will investigate how the described health profiles can be translated into health action.

Summary
Nationally and internationally, we face an increasing burden of chronic disease and health care costs. Health risk factors and premature ill-health are increasingly concentrated in the disadvantaged. A large proportion of the chronic disease burden is preventable through better evidence and implementation. This application is to conduct innovative large-scale research on Indigenous health, chronic disease and the health of disadvantaged populations, including work on implementation of solutions.
