Counting culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) children in Australian health research: Does it matter how we count?
CONCLUSIONS: There is no consensus on how CALD is defined in Australian child health research. Application of different CALD indicators can generate up to seven-fold differences in estimates of who counts as being a CALD child.IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: If we are to advance health and well-being equity for CALD children, we need a more consistent approach to understanding which children are counted as CALD.PMID:38429223 | DOI:10.1016/j.anzjph.2024.100129
