Summary |
This publication is a compendium of three papers commissioned as part of the Stewardship Dialogues for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health. The first two papers were written to inform the discussion during the Stewardship Dialogues and the third was written after the Dialogues to address an identified need for decision makers to have access to a more systematic review of the evidence about the effectiveness of different interventions. Paper 1, 'The importance of a healthy start to life: Synopsis of evidence' summarises the evidence on why the early childhood years are important. Paper 2, 'Effective interventions to promote a healthy start in life: Evidence-based programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families', summarises evidence on the effectiveness of Australian and international programs and their implementation in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These are reviewed in more detail in Paper 3, 'Effective interventions to promote a healthy start in life: Evidence-based programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families.' |
