Changing children’s chances: Exploring pathways to developmental inequities

该项目旨在调查澳大利亚儿童之间健康和发展不平等的原因。在澳大利亚儿童的身体健康、社会和情感健康以及学术学习方面，越来越多地观察到不平等现象。这种不公平是不公正的、不必要的，而且有可能预防。该项目旨在通过研究儿童及其家庭生活和成长的许多背景，了解导致这些不平等的途径。通过利用现有数据进行的一系列创新分析，该项目旨在确定儿童、家庭、学校和社区一级可能导致发展不平等的可改变因素。了解减少澳大利亚儿童不平等的干预措施的最有希望的杠杆点可以用来为政策提供信息。

This project aims to investigate the causes of health and developmental inequities between Australian children. Inequities are increasingly observed in Australian children’s physical health, social and emotional wellbeing, and academic learning. Such inequities are unjust, unnecessary and potentially preventable. This project aims to understand the pathways leading to these inequities by examining the many contexts in which children and their families live and grow. Through a series of innovative analyses using existing data, the project aims to identify potentially modifiable factors at the child, family, school, and community level that contribute to developmental inequities. Understanding of the most promising leverage points for interventions to reduce inequities for Australian children could be used to inform policy.
