Burn injuries in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children

这是第一次大规模的研究，系统地检查了土著和托雷斯海峡岛民儿童的烧伤负担，包括护理和治疗费用，以及获得治疗和功能结果之间的关系。由流行病学家，烧伤临床医生和土著健康研究人员组成的团队，这项研究将产生重要的新研究证据，以改善对这一代表性过高和弱势群体的护理。

This is the first large scale study to systematically examine the burden of burn injury in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, including care and cost of treatment, and relationship between access to treatment and functional outcomes. With a team comprising epidemiologists, burns clinicans and Aboriginal health researchers, this study will generate important new research evidence to improve care in this over-represented and vulnerable population.
