Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Performance Framework 2012: detail analysis
http://www.aihw.gov.au/publication-detail/?id=60129543821
[2220 pages!]

Great to see the order of determinants of health (p. 2) – social/structural first, with lifestyle factors a long way down:

Tier 2 - Determinations of health

Environmental factors
2.01 Housing
2.02 Access to functional housing with utilities
2.03 Environmental tobacco smoke

Socioeconomic factors
2.04 Literacy and numeracy
2.05 Education outcomes for young people
2.06 Educational participation and attainment of adults
2.07 Employment
2.08 Income
2.09 Index of disadvantage

Community capacity
2.10 Community safety
2.11 Contact with criminal justice system
2.12 Child protection
2.13 Transport
2.14 Indigenous people with access to their traditional lands

Health behaviours
2.15 Tobacco use
2.16 Risky alcohol consumption
2.17 Drug and other substance use including inhalants
2.18 Physical activity
2.19 Dietary behaviour
2.20 Breastfeeding practices
2.21 Health behaviours during pregnancy

Person-related factors
2.22 Overweight and obesity

but the phrase 'social determinant(s)' occurs only once (p. 20)
and I think some of the categories are a bit odd (e.g. why is '2.11 Contact with the criminal justice system' included in 'Community capacity'?)

Subject: New AIHW report: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Performance Framework 2012: detail analysis (Now available)

Dear All,
 
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has released a new report today:
 
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Performance Framework 2012: detail analysis
This report provides the latest information on how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are faring according to a range of indicators on health status, determinants of health and health system performance that are based on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Performance Framework. It highlights the main areas of improvement and continuing concern. For example, while death rates for avoidable causes and circulatory diseases have declined since 1997, more than half of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers smoke during pregnancy and about one-quarter of Indigenous Australians aged 15 and over live in overcrowded housing.
 
AIHW catalogue number (IHW 94).
Available from CanPrint for $182 (1300 889 873) or download the full report for free online.
