This data item is from the Victorian Adolescent Health and Wellbeing Survey (HowRU?), which was conducted for the first time in 2009 for the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) by the Centre for Adolescent Health (CAH) at the Royal Children’s Hospital. The HowRU? survey was designed to provide data on key indicators of adolescent health and wellbeing, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of how Victorian adolescents are faring. Students in years 7, 9, and 11 were sampled from randomly selected government and non-government secondary schools across Victoria, and analysis is based on a final sample of 10,273 adolescents. The sampling frame was designed to allow Local Government Area (LGA) level reporting in metropolitan Victoria, and Government Region level in non-metropolitan Victoria. Note that data is therefore only included in the LGA profiles for metropolitan LGAs, and the LGAs are not ranked.

These five domains are important areas of child development and also good predictors of adult health, education and social outcomes. They are: physical health and wellbeing, social competence, emotional maturity, language and cognitive skills and communication skills and general knowledge. Data was collected by teachers via an on-line checklist, in the first year of formal schooling. The average age of the Victorian children was 5 years and 7 months. Between May and July 2009, AEDI checklists were completed for 61,187 children in Victoria, representing 94.2 per cent of the estimated five year old population. Each checklist receives a score for each domain, which ranges from 0 to 10, with 10 being the highest score. These domain scores, for all Australian children, are recorded from highest to lowest, and then organised into percentiles. Children with domain scores below the 10th percentile (in the lowest 10 percent of all Australian children) are considered 'developmentally vulnerable' on that domain.
