Literature, evaluations and research on Australian Indigenous young parents programs: a review
Other Publication ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
[Extract] Queensland Health has recognised the strategic importance of providing additional support to young Indigenous parents to optimise outcomes for them and their children. However, limited evidence is available about best practice in providing such support. This review has two primary aims: 1. To gather evidence from the literature (both published and unpublished), from program evaluations and from primary research with service providers and young parents to identify: • Key issues impacting on young Indigenous mothers and fathers in Queensland • Innovation and good practice for delivering young parent programs • The supports/resources needed by service providers/workers to ensure effective delivery of these types of programs • Mechanisms for engaging with young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are "at risk" of becoming young parents or who are pregnant or already parenting • Barriers to effective implementation of such programs and strategies to minimize the likelihood of these barriers occurring. 2. To provide advice about how the evidence collected can best be turned into practice in government and non-government provided services.
