Description

Footprints in Time - The Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children (LSIC) aims to improve the understanding of, and policy response to, the diverse circumstances faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, their families and communities. The study collects important information about the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, covering areas including: the children (their physical and mental health, how they develop socially and cognitively, their place in their family and community, and significant events in their life), the children's families (their health, work, lifestyle, and family and community connectedness, the children's communities (facilities, services, and social and community issues), and services (child care, education, health and other services used by the child and the child's family). The study is designed to explore how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children develop resilience, what helps to improve their wellbeing and future, and to recognise links between early childhood experiences and later life outcomes.
