Developing a measure of social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB) for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children using Footprints in Time: The Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children - Fact Sheet 1

Abstract

The Centre for Indigenous Policy Research at POLIS: The Centre for Social Policy Research, the Australian National University was commissioned by the Commonwealth Department of Social Services to deliver a Research Report on the Social and Emotional Wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children and Youth using the Longitudinal Study on Indigenous Children (LSIC) data as recorded in Footprints in Time: The Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children.

This fact sheet summarises findings from Section One and Two of the Research Report (10.25911/6KGK-RG76) and Summary Report (10.25911/AWN1-YZ78), which adapts the holistic concept of social and emotional wellbeing created by Gee et al. (2014) to measure the experiences of Study Youth in the Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children.
