Funded Activity Summary

A healthy start to life is essential for life-long health. Currently, Aboriginal children have greater rates of death and hospitalisation than other Australians. This study will determine individual, community and service-related risk and protective factors for health outcomes among Aboriginal children (0-5yrs) using whole-of-population linked health data from multigenerational Aboriginal families in WA. Findings will support effective service development to help those at-risk ‘defy the odds’.
