Improving the Validity of Health and Well-Being Measures for Refugee Adolescents Health Promotion Outcomes

衡量不同文化背景的难民人口的健康和福祉面临许多方法挑战(例如，语言和文化障碍)。Good Start是一项关于最近在墨尔本重新安置的难民青年的健康和幸福决定因素的纵向研究。这里提出的项目是良好开端的一部分。它侧重于影响数据质量的方法学问题，并将通过改进健康和福祉指标的结构效度来加强分析。

Measuring health and wellbeing in a culturally diverse refugee population presents many methodological challenges (e.g. language and cultural barriers). Good Starts is a longitudinal study of the determinants of health and wellbeing among refugee youth recently resettled in Melbourne. The project proposed here is part of Good Starts. It focuses on methodological issues affecting data quality and will enhance analysis by improving the construct validity of the health and wellbeing indicators.
