This program of work is designed to advance understanding of the causal pathways to good health and development among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, using population-representative data sources and statistical modelling techniques.
This includes examining the role of historical circumstances, social and cultural characteristics, and profound and persistent marginalisation in the patterning of Aboriginal health.
It is hoped that the results will provide more specific guidance to population health strategies for the prevention of poor health outcomes in early life.
