About this journal article:
Using data from the Victorian Government Aboriginal Adolescent Health and Wellbeing Survey, this article looks at how cultural and structural factors shape health and wellbeing for Aboriginal young people in Victorian schools. Findings highlight how policing, racism, poverty, and other social conditions interact in young people’s lives. The article also describes how Aboriginal organisations helped identify priorities, interpret findings from the survey and place the results in context, so that the data analysis better reflected Aboriginal ways of knowing, being and doing.
