Cohort profile: The Aboriginal Families Study – a prospective cohort of Aboriginal children and their mothers and caregivers in South Australia
Wave 3 follow-up is planned as the study children reach 14-16 years of age. Longitudinal follow-up of women and children in the cohort will generate new knowledge about factors promoting children and young people's social and emotional well-being. Our goal is to build a stronger understanding of the potential for key domains of social and emotional well-being (eg, connection to community, family and kin, country and spirituality) to buffer the impacts of social determinants of health, including intergenerational trauma and social inequity.
