The proposed research will provide important new knowledge about the impact of injury on Indigenous children and youth in three settings: urban Indigenous communities in Australia, First Nation communities in Canada, and Iwi, Hapu and Maori communities in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Injury, which has received almost no research attention among Indigenous populations, is one of the leading causes of death, illness and disability in each of the three partner countries and the burden of injury for the Indigenous people of these countries is significantly higher than for the respective non-Indigenous populations. In addition to death and disability, injuries contribute to a variety of chronic health consequences such as, depression, alcohol and substance abuse, smoking, eating and sleeping disorders. Clearly, injury prevention must be a priority for policy makers in each of the partner countries. The purpose of the proposed research is to increase our understanding of the relationship between injury, socio-economic disadvantage and resilience in Indigenous communities and to use this knowledge to address, and reverse, health inequalities, particularly for children and youth. The proposed research focuses on the development of effective, sustainable and culturally acceptable interventions for Indigenous children and youth based on sound evidence from a tri-country Indigenous perspective. The proposed study will document the extent of intentional and unintentional injury in Indigenous populations; describe the contexts in which injuries occur and their impact on Indigenous children and youth; and develop and evaluate community based collaborative local interventions involving health and non-health sectors which promote the health, safety and resilience of Indigenous children and youth.

拟议的研究将提供关于伤害对三种环境中的土著儿童和青年的影响的重要新知识：澳大利亚的城市土著社区，加拿大的第一民族社区，以及新西兰Aotearoa的Iwi，Hapu和毛利社区。在三个伙伴国家中，伤害是造成死亡、疾病和残疾的主要原因之一，土著居民的伤害负担远远高于各自的非土著居民。除了死亡和残疾外，伤害还造成各种慢性健康后果，如抑郁、酗酒和滥用药物、吸烟、饮食和睡眠障碍。显然，预防伤害必须成为每个伙伴国家决策者的优先事项。拟议研究的目的是增加我们对伤害，社会经济劣势和原住民社区复原力之间关系的理解，并利用这些知识来解决和扭转健康不平等，特别是儿童和青年。拟议的研究重点是根据三国土著观点的可靠证据，为土著儿童和青年制定有效、可持续和文化上可接受的干预措施。拟议的研究将记录土著人口中故意和非故意伤害的程度;描述伤害发生的背景及其对土著儿童和青年的影响;制定和评估涉及卫生和非卫生部门的社区合作地方干预措施，以促进土著儿童和青年的健康、安全和复原力。
