Young people and chronicity: Growing up well in precarious times. The cost-of-living crisis and surging healthcare costs have had a disproportionately damaging effect on young people. This impact has been especially pronounced for the one in three young Australians aged 15 to 24 with a chronic health condition. In partnership with Epilepsy Action Australia, Asthma Australia, and young people, this project will examine, from multiple perspectives, how young people and their families navigate the social, educational and financial aspects of growing up while living with a chronic condition. Findings will be used to co-develop publicly available resources to support young people, families and other key stakeholders such as educators, advocates and care providers.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 4410 - Sociology. Lead: A/Prof Sophie Lewis
