Summary
Measuring health and wellbeing in a culturally diverse refugee population presents many methodological challenges (e.g. language and cultural barriers). Good Starts is a longitudinal study of the determinants of health and wellbeing among refugee youth recently resettled in Melbourne. The project proposed here is part of Good Starts. It focuses on methodological issues affecting data quality and will enhance analysis by improving the construct validity of the health and wellbeing indicators.
