This research is a descriptive study of the health outcomes of Aboriginal infants, born at Campbelltown Hospital. The research will build on Centre for Health Equity's (CHETRE) work, since 1997, with the Aboriginal community, Aboriginal Medical Service (AMS) and Area Health Services (AHS) in the region to develop and advocate for services to address the needs of Aboriginal and other disadvantaged communities. CHETRE has supported the Aboriginal workers to develop additional services for Aboriginal women, such as the Aboriginal Home Visiting Team (AHV) and assisted with evaluation of these services. The AHV management comprises representatives from AMS, AHS, the Aboriginal community and CHETRE, and will provide advice and oversight for this project. The AHV developed from community concern about health status of Aboriginal infants and provides ante and postnatal care to infants and mothers. As a part of this service Aboriginal infants are systematically identified by the AHS. Further development of services is limited by lack of information on health status, use of health services, or achievement of developmental milestones by Aboriginal infants in an urban community and the assumption that outcomes are a factor of disadvantage. The researchers intend to describe in meticulous detail obstetric outcomes for 150 Aboriginal infants and their mothers born in 2004-5 and the health and development outcomes of the infants at 12 months. Baseline information on birth weight, Apgar score and obstetric history will be collected from maternal report at 2-3 week post-delivery and from routine data collections. Infants and their mothers will be followed up prospectively with further data collection points at 6 months and 12 months. Information on health status, health service use, and achievement of developmental milestones will be obtained by measurement and maternal report. An assessment by a paediatrician will be undertaken at 12 months.

这项研究是对坎贝尔镇医院出生的土著婴儿的健康结果的描述性研究。这项研究将建立在卫生公平中心(CHETRE)自1997年以来与该地区的土著社区、土著医疗服务(AMS)和地区卫生服务(AHS)合作的基础上，以开发和倡导满足土著和其他弱势社区需求的服务。CHETRE支持土著工人为土著妇女发展更多服务，如土著家访小组(AHV)，并协助评估这些服务。AHV管理层由AMS、AHS、土著社区和CHETRE的代表组成，将为该项目提供建议和监督。AHV是由于社区对土著婴儿健康状况的关注而发展起来的，为婴儿和母亲提供产前和产后护理。作为这项服务的一部分，AHS系统地识别土著婴儿。由于缺乏关于城市社区土著婴儿健康状况、保健服务使用情况或发展里程碑成就的信息，以及认为结果是不利因素的假设，进一步发展服务受到限制。研究人员打算详细描述在2004-2005年出生的150名土著婴儿及其母亲的产科结局，以及这些婴儿12个月时的健康和发育结果。有关出生体重、阿普加评分和产科病史的基线信息将从产后2-3周的产妇报告和常规数据收集中收集。婴儿和他们的母亲将在6个月和12个月时进行前瞻性跟踪，并进一步收集数据。将通过测量和孕产妇报告获得有关健康状况、卫生服务使用情况和发展里程碑成就的信息。12个月后将由儿科医生进行评估。
