Potentially preventable hospitalisations for Aboriginal children with experience of out-of-home care: a data linkage study
Objective
To compare potentially preventable hospitalisation (PPH) rates and types of conditions for Aboriginal children by exposure to out-of-home care (OOHC) and estimate the effect of first OOHC placement on PPH rates.
Methods
A retrospective longitudinal study of linked hospitalisation and child protection data for a matched cohort of Aboriginal children born in Western Australia between 2000 and 2013 using observed and predicted rates.
Results
Incidence rate of PPH bed days was 2.3 times higher for children ever-placed in OOHC than never-placed children. Diagnosed conditions showed no difference between ever and never-placed children across all ages. On average, PPH bed days reduced by 11% (95% confidence interval: 3% to 18%) following the first OOHC placement but never reached parity with never-placed children. For dental and otitis media-related PPHs, rates increased following first placement.
Conclusions
Children with experience of OOHC had greater rates of PPH bed days which persisted despite reductions following first OOHC placement.
Implications for Public Health
Healthcare system capacity, cultural safety, and access, as well as the material conditions of families at risk of CPS intervention, all need to be improved if rates of PPHs are to be reduced.
期刊介绍:
The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health (ANZJPH) is concerned with public health issues. The research reported includes formal epidemiological inquiries into the correlates and causes of diseases and health-related behaviour, analyses of public policy affecting health and disease, and detailed studies of the cultures and social structures within which health and illness exist. The Journal is multidisciplinary and aims to publish methodologically sound research from any of the academic disciplines that constitute public health.
