The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health: 1973-78 cohort Core Data Release, Survey 7 data, 2015
No full textThe Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) is a longitudinal population-based survey, first funded in 1995, which examines the health of over 57,000 Australian women. The project was designed to explore factors that influence health among women who are broadly representative of the entire Australian population. ALSWH goes beyond a narrow perspective that equates women's health with reproductive and sexual health, and takes a comprehensive view of all aspects of health throughout women's lifespan. The first survey was conducted in 1996, and covered three groups, the 1973-1978 cohort, the 1946-1951 cohort, and the 1921-1926 cohort. In 2013, a new cohort of young women, aged 18-23 and known as the 1989-95 cohort, were recruited. Each cohort receives different questionnaires, which vary in the types of questions asked, but in essence cover issues regarding overall physical and emotional health, use of health services, education and employment status, drug and/or alcohol use, diet, exercise, and family situation. A detailed description of the background, aims, themes, methods and progress of the study is given on the project web page https://www.alswh.org.au/about/. This particular dataset refers to Survey 7 of the 1973-78 cohort and is a part of the Core Data Release. Some data in this data release were modified to maintain the confidentiality of ALSWH respondents

ANU Poll 2020: Bushfires, The Environment, and Optimism For The Future
No full textThis dataset the 32nd ANU Poll undertaken by the Social Research Centre for the ANU. The purpose of the ANU Poll is to assess Australians' opinions on important and topical issues. These polls are typically conducted three times a year, or about every four months. Some questions appear in every poll in order to provide information about changes in opinion over time; the majority of questions appear in one poll only. This research is used to inform public debate and policy about issues affecting Australia. In this particular wave of the project, we investigate Australia's levels of optimism about the past and future. We also assess the community opinion on issues such as environment policy, globalisation and nudge interventions. Finally, we ask Australians about their personal experiences and satisfaction with government performance during the most recent bushfire season
The Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, RESTRICTED RELEASE 19 (Waves 1-19)
No full textThe Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey is a nationally representative longitudinal study of Australian households which commenced in 2001. Funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services (DSS), the HILDA Survey is managed by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research at the University of Melbourne. The HILDA Survey provides longitudinal data on the lives of Australian residents. Its primary objective is to support research questions falling within three broad and inter-related areas of income, labour market and family dynamics. The HILDA Survey is a household-based panel study of Australian households and, as such, it interviews all household members (15 years and over) of the selected households and then re-interviews the same people in subsequent years. This dataset is the 19th release of the HILDA data, incorporating data collected from 2001 through 2019 (Waves 1-19). The special topic module in Wave 19 is life stages, and includes questions on relationships, family formation and retirement. Please note that this release of the HILDA Restricted Release is now superseded, and is available by email request only to [email protected].

‘Yes, I Can!’ adult literacy campaign
No full textThis research examined the impact of the ‘Yes, I Can!’adult literacy campaign as a place based justice reinvestment initiative, using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Interviews conducted with 22 key informants working as service providers or criminal justice system employees within (or previously located in) Bourke and Enngonia indicated that the ‘Yes, I Can!’ campaign improved the experiences and interactions of participating community members with the criminal justice system in at least three ways. It helped to alleviate illegal driving practices; it reduced contacts with the law for failure to respond to official documentation; and it improved their interactions with law enforcement officials. There were also significant benefits in terms of increased confidence to access legal advice and other services

Growing Up in Australia: Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) Release 8 (Waves 1-8)
No full textGrowing Up in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) is a major study following the development of approximately 10,000 young people and their families from all parts of Australia. It is conducted in partnership between the Department of Social Services, the Australian Institute of Family Studies and the Australian Bureau of Statistics with advice provided by a consortium of leading researchers. The study began in 2003 with a representative sample of children (who are now teens and young adults) from urban and rural areas of all states and territories in Australia. The study has a multi-disciplinary base, and examines a broad range of research questions about development and wellbeing over the life course in relation to topics such as parenting, family, peers, education, child care and health. It will continue to follow participants into adulthood. The study informs social policy and is used to identify opportunities for early intervention and prevention strategies. Participating families have been interviewed every two years from 2004, and between-wave mail-out questionnaires were sent to families in 2005 (Wave 1.5), 2007 (Wave 2.5) and 2009 (Wave 3.5). The B cohort (“Baby” cohort) of around 5,000 children was aged 0–1 years in 2003–04, and the K cohort (“Kinder” cohort) of around 5,000 children was aged 4–5 years in 2003–04. Study informants include the young person, their parents (both resident and non-resident), carers and teachers. The study links to administrative databases including Medicare (Immunisation, MBS and PBS), NAPLAN, AEDC and Centrelink – with participant consent – thereby adding valuable information to supplement the data collected during fieldwork. In 2014-15, a special one-off physical health and biomarkers assessment of parent-child pairs was undertaken in the younger cohort. The cross-generational datasets from this ‘Child Health CheckPoint’ are available in the Additional Release files
