This study examines the relative deprivation in the mental health, henceforth referred to as ‘social and emotional well‐being (SEWB)’, of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in relation to non‐Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The study uses the multidimensional deprivation methodology to quantify the deprivation in SEWB. The results show wide variation in the relative deprivation of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders people between the dimensions of SEWB. This study finds robust evidence that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience lower SEWB and higher economic insecurity than the rest and the gap refuses to narrow over time.

原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民的社会和情感福祉以及经济不安全感：多维方法

本研究调查了原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民相对于非原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民的心理健康（以下称为“社会和情感健康（SEWB）”）的相对剥夺情况。该研究使用多维剥夺方法来量化 SEWB 中的剥夺。结果显示，原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民的相对贫困程度在 SEWB 维度之间存在很大差异。这项研究发现了强有力的证据，表明原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民比其他人经历了较低的 SEWB 和较高的经济不安全感，而且这种差距不会随着时间的推移而缩小。
