In practice, caution should be used where population level indicators are used to measure the impact of a particular program. Often, individual programs are not of sufficient size to shift a population level indicator. Methodology The evidence base for early intervention that underpins this Framework is based on two extensive and recently completed literature reviews: Better systems, better chances: A review of research and practice for prevention and early intervention. Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth (). Best practices to breakthrough impacts: A science-based approach to building a more promising future for young children and families () These reviews were examined to determine their key themes, the types of interventions to be considered, and the relevant client outcomes for early intervention. Identifying literature After examining the above reviews, we conducted an additional search of academic literature published from 2013 onwards to obtain research that may have been released subsequent to their release. We searched Scopus, Informit and Google Scholar databases, using the following search terms: OR OR OR OR “prevent*” OR “risk” “targeted” “Universal” “early intervention” OR OR OR OR OR “support” “primary” “Parent” “school readiness” “education” OR OR “wellbeing” “capability*” “family” These were combined with 3 cohort searches using the following terms: OR OR OR OR OR a. “0-3 years” “infant” “child” “toddler” “1000 days” “first” “bab*” OR OR OR OR “preschool” “pre school” “boy*” “girl*” AND “development*” OR OR AND b. “young” “teen” “adolescent” “parent” OR OR AND OR OR c. “Aboriginal” “Indigenous” “First Nation” “cultur*” “safe” OR OR OR OR “competent” “focused” “specific” “intelligence” “self-determination” OR “community”.
