Abstract

There have been few studies of the mental health of Australian aboriginal children. Adolescent part-aboriginals have been the focus of most of these studies. Only one study has dealt directly with tribally oriented children. To overcome this deficiency a register of child mental health cases from tribally oriented aboriginal communities in the northern half of the Northern Territory of Australia was established. An examination of the diagnostic sex and age groupings in the register was found as well as a preponderance of serious learning difficulties.
