Understanding the Nexus between Alcohol Consumption, Social and Emotional Wellbeing, and higher Education Outcomes among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Males in Australia
Main Article Content
Abstract
Education is a critical social determinant of health, particularly in the context of Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander health and well-being. There is also a broad array of other health risk factors that intersect with these social and cultural determinants of health. Overall, an in-depth examination of the complex health–education nexus is needed. This paper provides a commentary on interrelationships between health risk factors, their impact on education trajectories, and their implications for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males.
