The use and satisfaction with healthcare services of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students at boarding schools: Baseline results

In adolescence (10-19 years), many health risks and protective factors that influence later life emerge. Remote-dwelling Indigenous adolescents have the poorest adolescent health outcomes in Australia, yet there is little documentation of their healthcare service use or satisfaction. This exploratory study investigates the perceptions of Cape York and Palm Island Indigenous students, pre-transition to and at Queensland boarding schools, of their own health status, health services use and satisfaction.
