A demographic and socio-medical history of the Aboriginal People of Victoria 1800-2000: reconstitutions and epidemiological analysis

我们已经建立了世界上第一个历史人口统计和流行病学数据库，它将对土著和研究社区具有持续的文化和专业价值，并且可以复制以捕获难以捉摸的流动人口，这些人口比通过传统的人口普查方法更好地识别家谱。我们将对已故黛安·巴维克博士的论文进行索引和数字化。通过这项对过去生活历程的创新研究，我们试图了解“第四世界”人民在健康转型中的独特经历，以及构成澳大利亚土著居民持续健康问题的深刻历史力量。

We have produced a world-first historical demographic and epidemiological database that will be of continuing cultural and professional value to the Indigenous and research communities, and which can be copied to capture elusive mobile populations that are better identified genealogically than via conventional census methods. We will index and digitise the papers of the late Dr Diane Barwick. Through this innovative study of past life courses we seek to understand the unique experience of 'fourth world' people in the health transition, and the deep historical forces structuring the persistent health problems of Indigenous Australians.
