- Abstract
Key researchers in children's health and development attended a recent meeting, held at the Australian Institute of Family Studies, to discuss the formation of a new National Research Partnership for Developmental Health and Wellbeing. Some of Australia's key researchers from a variety of disciplines and interested in better outcomes for families, children and society generally attended a two-day workshop at the Australian Institute of Family Studies to debate whether they would create a unique new way of working. Rising rates are being observed for low birth weight, neuro developmental disorders, asthma, type 1 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, autism, mental health morbidities, child abuse and neglect, adolescent suicide, obesity, eating disorders, learning disabilities, behavioural disorders, aggressive behaviours and violence, school drop out and truancy, juvenile crime, illicit drug and alcohol use, teenage births. A broad program of research would build upon the similarity of early pathways to a variety of negative outcomes, to develop effective interventions which might impact on a very broad range of competencies and outcomes in children.
