This project is a partnership between researchers, the Aboriginal community and government to provide evidence for policy addressing major health priority areas for Aboriginal children and families. It will utilize and develop a quasi-longitudinal linked dataset based on a population representative sample of Aboriginal children and their families (the 2000/02 Western Australian Aboriginal Child Health Survey) and government data across health, education, child protection, and justice domains.
