We begin to bridge this knowledge gap by assessing evidence on social gradients in indigenous health in Australia.
We sought to provide insights by examining socio-economic disparities in physical health outcomes among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in WA.
Many of the mental health issues that women develop earlier in life are chronic at the time of conception, during pregnancy and at birth
This paper sets out the methodological and theoretical considerations which framed how the Birthing on Noongar Boodjar project was conducted
Relatively disadvantaged children might benefit more from attending childcare, as indicated by the positive estimated effects found for those who never attended childcare
This study looked at the frequency of racism experiences over time in a population of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children
Difference in stillbirth and neonatal death rates in Western Australia (1998-2010) by maternal ethnicity
There is scant literature about the management of stillbirth and the subsequent risk of severe maternal morbidity (SMM). We aimed to assess the risk of SMM associated with stillbirths compared with live births and whether this differed by the presence of maternal comorbidities.
The burden of bronchiectasis is disproportionately high in Aboriginal adults, with early mortality. Bronchiectasis precursors, that is, protracted bacterial bronchitis and chronic suppurative lung disease, often commence in early childhood.
Maternal mental health problems are common during the perinatal period and have been associated with several negative outcomes in children. However, few studies have examined the associations between maternal mental health problems and offspring outcomes among Indigenous people, and the findings across these studies have been inconsistent. This scoping review examined the birth and childhood (≤12 years) health and development outcomes of the children of Indigenous women with mental health problems.
