Thereafter, salient risk and protective factors influencing the transition to school are mapped out (Section 5). This facilitates the anticipated outcome of the review: an appraisal of the effectiveness of interventions in mediating for risk factors and capitalising on protective factors that improve school readiness and transition to school in the Australian Indigenous context (Section 6).
