Description
Reviewed literature from journal publications, public reports and grey literature published from 2000 to 2015. Found that information was extremely limited, fragmented, inconsistent, and most often ad hoc or cross-sectional snap shots which did little to track over-time trends or comparisons with non-Aboriginal population.
