The Forgotten Generation: Understanding Health Trajectories In Aboriginal Adolescents And Youth
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,095,283.00
Summary
This study will establish a cohort of 2250 young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from urban, rural and remote communities aged 10 to 24 years. The study will provide longitudinal data on the health status and health trajectories of this group of young Australians who experience poorer health outcomes compared with other young Australians. The proposed study will explored the determinants of health status, how these factors change over time and opportunities for prevention.
Adolescent indigenous Australians suffer much higher rates of psychological disorder than other Australians. At present we have no evidence for any programs that reduce the risk of suicide, depression, or posttraumatic stress disorder in this population. This project will provide the first evidence of the efficacy of a indigenously-adapted form of cognitive behaviour therapy aimed to treat anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and hopelessness in Australian Aborigines.
