Disparities in severe neonatal morbidity and mortality between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal births in Western Australia: A decomposition analysis
BACKGROUND: The health disadvantages faced by Australian Aboriginal peoples are evidenced in early life, although few studies have focused on the reasons for population-level inequalities in more severe adverse outcomes. This study aimed to examine the scale of disparity in severe neonatal morbidity (SNM) and mortality between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal births and quantify the relative contributions of important maternal and infant factors. ME…
The impact of racial discrimination on the health of Australian Indigenous children aged 5–10 years: Analysis of National Longitudinal Data
BACKGROUND: A growing body of literature highlights that racial discrimination has negative impacts on child health, although most studies have been limited to an examination of direct forms of racism using cross-sectional data. We aim to provide further insights on the impact of early exposure to racism on child health using longitudinal data among Indigenous children in Australia and multiple indicators of racial discrimination. METHODS: We use…
Parent–child book reading across early childhood and child vocabulary in the early school years: Findings from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children
Vocabulary knowledge is a critical component of school readiness. The current study investigated the extent to which low levels of joint attention in infancy and parent–child book reading across early childhood increase the risk of children having poor vocabulary around the time of school entry. Relevant data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children were available for 2369 children (1211 boys) who had a median age of 9 months ( M = 9.3 …
Early vocabulary development: The importance of joint attention and parent-child book reading
The current study brought a bioecological approach to children’s early vocabulary development using data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children. Relevant data were available for 2188 children (1119 male) who had a median age of 9 months ( M = 9.3 months, SD = 2.1 months) at Wave 1 and a median age of 34 months ( M = 34.2 months, SD = 2.5 months) at Wave 2. Results support the developmental importance of joint attention and parent-chil…
Socio-emotional engagement, joint attention, imitation, and conversation skill: Analysis in typical development and specific language impairment
According to Racine and Carpendale’s constructivist theory, the acquisition of shared linguistic practice is grounded in the development of competence in shared forms of activity such as joint attention which are naturally embedded in socio-emotional engagement. The present study investigated the relationships among socio-emotional engagement, joint attention, imitation, and conversation skill by establishing a model of these relationships in 94 …
