There have been few studies of the mental health of Australian aboriginal children. Adolescent part-aboriginals have been the focus of most of these studies. Only one study has dealt directly with tribally oriented children. To overcome this deficiency a register of child mental health cases from tribally oriented aboriginal communities in the northern half of the Northern Territory of Australia was established. An examination of the diagnostic sex and age groupings in the register was found as well as a preponderance of serious learning difficulties.
对澳大利亚原住民儿童心理健康的研究很少。这些研究大多聚焦于青少年时期有部分原住民血统的儿童。仅有一项研究直接涉及以部落为导向的儿童。为克服这一不足,建立了澳大利亚北领地北半部以部落为导向的原住民社区儿童心理健康病例登记册。研究发现了登记册中诊断的性别和年龄分组情况,以及严重学习困难的普遍存在。
