ARACY Lifecourse: From foundation to new collaborations

Coinciding with the launch of the freshly updated Lifecourse Directory, the online directory of Australian and New Zealand longitudinal studies, this webinar will cover the journey of the ARACY Longitudinal Studies Collaborative (LSC) from humble beginnings to the interactive online directory it is today.
We will be joined by Honorary Professor Ann Sanson, one of the initial founders of the network, to share its origins and explain how this strong foundation has ensured the collaborative remains relevant and meaningful for the work of researchers today.
Professors Craig Olsson and Delyse Hutchinson will present the refreshed directory and discuss the ways in which the cross-cohort collaborations of the network are influencing innovative approaches to the health and wellbeing of children and young people.
Finally, Dr Meredith O’Connor will present the findings from one of these cross-cohort collaborations which was established to investigate the impact COVID-19 has had on children and young people.
This webinar is the first in a series of webinars that will showcase the work of the LSC.
