A mortality profile of Victoria's Aboriginal (and non-Aboriginal) children 1998-2008 using an innovative method and research process

制定维多利亚州儿童人口死亡率概况，其中包括准确的土著身份，将为评估旨在减少可预防的儿童死亡的方案、干预措施和政策的有效性提供可靠的信息。这项研究将有助于州、国家和国际迫切需要改进土著死亡信息的收集，以便在澳大利亚司法管辖区与全球土著人民之间进行有意义的比较。土著社区和有关专家在项目各个阶段的持续投入，将有助于加强与那些能够影响政府和决策者实现变革的人的联系。

The development of a population mortality profile of Victoria's children that includes accurate Indigenous identification will provide robust information to assess the effectiveness of programs interventions and policies aimed at reducing preventable deaths in children. This research will contribute to state, national and international imperative to improve the collection of Aboriginal death information in order to allow meaningful comparisons between Australian jurisdictions and Aboriginal people globally. The consistent imput of the Aboriginal community and relevant experts in all phases of the project will enable and strengthen links with those who can influence government and policy makers to effect change.
