Centre of Linked Data Analytics and Social Policy (CLASP)

The Kids Research Institute Australia was awarded funding to establish a whole-of-state Centre of Linked Data Analytics and Social Policy.

Cohort profile: A population-based record linkage platform to address critical epidemiological evidence gaps in respiratory syncytial virus and other respiratory infections

The Western Australia (WA) Respiratory Infections Linked Data Platform is a population-based cohort established to investigate the epidemiology of RSV and other respiratory infections in children aged 0-10 years, incorporating microbiological testing patterns, hospital admissions, emergency department presentations, and socio-demographic data.

Examining the relationship between maternal mental health-related hospital admissions and childhood developmental vulnerability at school entry in Canada and Australia

It is well established that maternal mental illness is associated with an increased risk of poor development for children. However, inconsistencies in findings regarding the nature of the difficulties children experience may be explained by methodological or geographical differences.

School Readiness of Children Exposed to Family and Domestic Violence

Children have a universal right to live free from exposure to family and domestic violence (FDV). Children exposed to FDV can experience long-term effects on their physical and psychological health and their social competencies including social, emotional, and cognitive skills and behaviours that underpin successful social adaptation and academic achievement. The aim of this study was to investigate if children exposed to FDV were more likely to be vulnerable on school readiness measures compared to those children who were not exposed.

Children with secondary care episodes for otitis media have poor literacy and numeracy outcomes: A data linkage study

We examined the association between otitis media and educational attainment in a retrospective population cohort of Western Australian children who participated in the Grade 3 National Assessment Program—Literacy and Numeracy in 2012.

Early school suspensions for children with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)

Children with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can have difficulty adapting to the school context and may therefore be more likely to be suspended. We examined the association between ACEs and suspensions using linked administrative data on children born in Western Australia from July 2003–June 2004.

Literacy and Numeracy Underachievement in Boys and Girls With ADHD

Children with ADHD are disadvantaged from an early age in key areas of learning, and this risk increased with reduction in gestational age at birth

Children of parents who have been hospitalised with psychiatric disorders are at risk of poor school readiness

Children of parents who have been hospitalised with psychiatric disorders are at risk for poor school readiness

Hospitalisations for maternal assault are associated with increased risk of child protection involvement

Child maltreatment allegation is common in children following a maternal hospitalisation for assault

The pervasive effects of timing of parental mental health disorders on adolescent deliberate self-harm risk

This study shows that timing is important for understanding intergenerational transmission of deliberate self-harm risk

Developmental vulnerabilities in children of chronically ill parents: A population-based linked data study

Maternal chronic illness is associated with an increased risk of poor developmental outcomes for children, particularly daughters

Using linked data to investigate developmental vulnerabilities in children of convicted parents

Although children of convicted parents experience a higher incidence of sociodemographic risk, their parents' criminal activity constitutes an independent risk factor for their development

School readiness of maltreated children: Associations of timing, type, and chronicity of maltreatment

In this study, the Australian Early Development Census scores of 19,203 children were linked to information on child maltreatment allegations.

Influence of exposure to perinatal risk factors and parental mental health related hospital admission on adolescent deliberate self-harm risk

Adolescent deliberate self-harm (DSH) has been found to be associated with a range of bio-psycho-social factors.

The impact of child maltreatment on the risk of deliberate self-harm among adolescents: A population-wide cohort study using linked administrative records

This study calls for the early identification of children who are vulnerable to maltreatment, the better identification of the duration and severity of maltreatment experiences, and the provision of continued care and support, to reduce the child's deliberate self harm risk in adolescence.

Data linkage in an established longitudinal cohort: The Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study

A healthy diet was consistently associated with higher academic performance

Chronic illness and developmental vulnerability at school entry

Chronic illness in young children is a risk factor for reduced school readiness

Risk factors for repetition of a deliberate self-harm episode within seven days in adolescents and young adults

The risk of repetition of deliberate self-harm peaks in the first 7 days after a deliberate self-harm episode.

Contact with the juvenile justice system in children treated with stimulant medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

We aimed to investigate juvenile justice encounters in children with and without ADHD.

This paper explains advances in extracting linked health data from the WA Data Linkage Branch

Application of Population-Based Linked Data to the Study of Intellectual Disability and Autism

Data linkage is the bringing together of specific datasets from different sources using demographic information on individuals within a population.

To Feel Belonged: The Voices of Children and Youth with Disabilities on the Meaning of Wellbeing

The aim of this paper was to describe the meaning of wellbeing for children and youth with disabilities from their perspective.
