| Summary |
This is the third report of the Victorian Aboriginal Child Mortality Study (VACMS), a five year study on measurement issues in birth and mortality data which commenced in 2009. Phase 1 of the study involves the matching of two sources of birth data to establish a more complete and accurate identification of births to Victorian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander mothers and/or fathers (and non-Aboriginal mothers and/or fathers) over the years 1988-2008. This report presents data from this matching, including changes in the regional distribution of births, maternal and perinatal characteristics and geographical distribution, and birth outcomes for metropolitan and rural health services regions. The report also discusses the implications for the research study and data linkage |
