This article reports on proof of concept findings on the service that measured immunisation rates, developmental, medical, dental and mental health needs of children, particularly First Nations children, using a three-point severity level scale with Level 3 being the most severe and in need of immediate referral to a specialist medical service.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1463423621000384_as4\">\n                    <jats:title>Findings:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Forty-three children were referred by the service to the Nurse Practitioner over a 6-month period, with nine identifying as First Nations children. Differences in severity levels between First Nations\/non-First Nations children were Level 1, First Nations\/non-First Nations 0\/15%; Level 2, 10\/17%; and Level 3, 45\/29%. Forty-five percent of First Nations children had no health problems, as compared to 29% on non-First Nations children. Immunisation rates were low for both cohorts. No First Nations child was immunised and only 9% of the non-First Nations children. While numbers for both cohorts are too low for valid statistical analysis, the lower levels of severity for First Nations children suggest stronger extended family support and the positive impact of cultural norms of reciprocity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1463423621000384","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,21]],"date-time":"2022-03-21T04:52:30Z","timestamp":1647838350000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Aboriginal children and family connections to primary health care whilst homeless and in high housing mobility: observations from a Nurse Practitioner-led service"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7150-0836","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nina","family":"Sivertsen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8030-2671","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yvonne","family":"Parry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7576-971X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eileen","family":"Willis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2507-0350","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sally","family":"Kendall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6037-2565","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rhonda","family":"Marriott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alicia","family":"Bell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1463423621000384_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PEC.0000000000001553"},{"key":"S1463423621000384_ref29","first-page":"2010","article-title":"Home and Native Land\u201d: first Nations young women and homelessness in the city","volume":"5","author":"Ruttan","year":"2010","journal-title":"First Peoples Child and Family Review"},{"key":"S1463423621000384_ref107","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12875-017-0668-3"},{"key":"S1463423621000384_ref32","unstructured":"The Smith Family (2019) Poverty in Australia \u2013 The Cycle of Disadvantage.
