Abstract

In both urban and rural locations, the health of Indigenous children is worse than that of non-Indigenous Australian children. General data on the health of urban Indigenous children are scarce. Here we describe reports by parents about specific common childhood illnesses in urban Aboriginal children and parental responses to these illnesses.
