Details of the two research projects are:
Professor John Lynch听from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences and his research team have received nearly $2.5 million over four years from the MRFF 2022 Research Data Infrastructure Grant to investigate if the health needs of 50,000 children in out-of-home care are being met.
For over a decade, there have been repeated calls for data infrastructure to better support the unmet health needs of children in out-of-homecare.
This project responds to those calls by partnering with care-experienced young people, carer, Indigenous community, clinician and policy representatives.
The research team will bring together existing SA and NSW linked data platforms with frontline health service data to inform better service design, delivery and monitoring.
