Abstract: This report provides an overview of the health and wellbeing of young people in the Northern Territory. It is the second in a series and like the previous report released in 1998, includes both health outcome indicators and information on key determinants of health and wellbeing. The availability of information has improved substantially over the past eight years, which has allowed the inclusion of new and expanded information. In this report there is a continued focus on the difference in outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Territorians. In addition this second report is able to provide improved trend information so that current data can be compared with information in the first report. The information in the report is provided in seven sections spanning a range from the characteristics of the Northern Territory population through to information on morbidity and mortality. Highlights of each section are: - Population characteristics - Social environment - Mothers and Babies - Nutritional and behavioural determinants - Childcare and Safety - Morbidity and Mortality
