  2. Background and methods – what is ARCHER? • Multidisciplinary, prospective, longitudinal rural cohort study. • Baseline: adolescents were 10 to 12 years old. • Recruited from 13 postcodes; 4 local government areas: Cabonne, Dubbo, Orange and Wellington • Data include adolescent and parent questionnaires, anthropometry, blood and urine samples • The ARCHER study provides evidence: • on the relationship between pubertal hormones and adolescent behaviour, health and wellbeing • the interaction of individual, family, community and environmental factors on adolescent health outcomes • These will improve our understanding of protective and risk factors for physical, mental health and wellbeing in rural adolescents.
