The Developmental Pathways in WA Children Project (Developmental Pathways Project) is a landmark project established in 2005 that takes a multidisciplinary and holistic approach to investigate pathways to health and wellbeing and developmental and social outcomes among Western Australian children and youth. Together with the Department of Health WA, the Developmental Pathways Project, pioneered the process of linking together de-identified longitudinal, population-based data collected and stored by a large number of Western Australian government agencies to create a powerful and unique research and policy planning/evaluation resource for use by researchers and government.
