The longitudinal study of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples' wellbeing (Mayi Kuwayu)

This ECF will be utilised for the development of the first national large scale longitudinal cohort study of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals (Mayi Kuwayu Study) aged 12 and over in Australia. The aim is to design a longitudinal study that addresses current concerns with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health data. As a lasting outcome, this study will lead to timely and reliable information on a wide range of exposures and outcomes including disease, quality of life, and health services utilisation of public health importance.
