Health service utilisation and preventable mortality in justice-involved young people: A national, retrospective data linkage study

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We propose to link national youth justice data with national emergency department, hospital, Medicare, PBS, and mortality records. Our findings will provide the first ever detailed description of patterns of health service contact in these highly vulnerable young people, and identify associations between health service contact and mortality risk. Informed by these findings, we will generate practice-based evidence regarding ways to improve health outcomes for these vulnerable young Australians.
