    To assist the development of the Northern Territory policies, the Primary Health and Coordinated Care and the Epidemiology Branches of Territory Health Services have collaborated to produce this report on the health status of children and young people in the Northern Territory. An important objective of the undertaking was, however, to produce a report in a format that informs and commands the attention of not only health professionals but the community at large.

    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 becompared with information in the first report.

    The Northern Territory Health and Wellbeing Survey was conducted in December 2000 by the Department of Health and Community Services. It is the first large-scale population health survey in the Northern Territory to provide statistically robust information on the residents of metropolitan, rural and remote regions. Information on a range of health related topics was collected by telephone from 2,498 residents aged 18 years and over from metropolitan, rural and remote areas. The information provided by the respondents will assist the Department in developing and refining policies and programs aimed at improving the health of the population.
