Abstract

Footprints in Time: The Longitudinal Study of Indigenous
Children (LSIC) has been following two cohorts of Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander children from across Australia
since 2008.

This factsheet presents key findings from the Wave 14 (2021)
LSIC survey about the role of schools in influencing self-harm
and suicidal behaviours among Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander youth.

In Wave 14 (2021), 936 youth and families participated in the
study. The number was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Study Youth were aged between 13 and 17 years old.

The authors acknowledge that each statistic presented here
represents the experiences of a person and some readers
may find the topics discussed disturbing or distressing
