Footprints in Time: The Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children, Release 14 (Waves 1-14)

The Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children (LSIC) follows the development of up to 1,759 Indigenous children and their families across urban, regional and remote Australia. It is one of the largest longitudinal studies of Indigenous people worldwide. LSIC aims to improve understanding of the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, their families and communities to inform better policy and program development. The study collects information about child and parent health, childhood education, family relationships, culture and Community, housing, life stressors, parental education, parenting, employment and income, attitudes and aspirations. It includes two groups of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children who were aged 6 to 24 months (B cohort) and 3.5-5 years (K cohort) when the study began in 2008. Data is primarily collected via annual face-to-face interviews with Indigenous interviewers.
