Sexual health and relationships in young Indigenous people. Despite higher notified rates of sexually transmissible infections and blood borne viruses and often negative depictions of young indigenous people, very little is known of the health and well being of young Indigenous people. This project will for the first time provide a national profile of risk behaviours, levels of knowledge and the types of health services young Indigenous people access for sexual health and blood borne viruses. Th ....Sexual health and relationships in young Indigenous people. Despite higher notified rates of sexually transmissible infections and blood borne viruses and often negative depictions of young indigenous people, very little is known of the health and well being of young Indigenous people. This project will for the first time provide a national profile of risk behaviours, levels of knowledge and the types of health services young Indigenous people access for sexual health and blood borne viruses. The findings of this research will set the foundations for a longer term strategy to ensure trends and behaviours can be identified among the population and where necessary interventions can be implemented.

HEALTHY AGEING - PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION (HA-PI) NETWORK:
A RESEARCH NETWORK PROPOSAL ON THE BIOLOGICAL, SOCIAL AND PRIMARY CARE DYNAMICS OF AGEING
. Australian ageing research is dispersed across bioscience, social science and primary care organisations. Advances in healthy, productive ageing require connection of these three vital links. Bioscience and social science groupings are engaged in generating the evidence that primary care experts need to promote healthy ageing. Primary ....HEALTHY AGEING - PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION (HA-PI) NETWORK:
A RESEARCH NETWORK PROPOSAL ON THE BIOLOGICAL, SOCIAL AND PRIMARY CARE DYNAMICS OF AGEING
. Australian ageing research is dispersed across bioscience, social science and primary care organisations. Advances in healthy, productive ageing require connection of these three vital links. Bioscience and social science groupings are engaged in generating the evidence that primary care experts need to promote healthy ageing. Primary care experts also need to act as ?direction finders? for research on ageing so that the right questions are addressed. All these groups are relatively under-funded and poorly connected. The HA-PI Network will connect and support them to over-come barriers to the implementation of existing research and to create innovations for the future.Read moreRead less
Improving health and criminal justice outcomes among Australia's offender population using a multi-disciplinary, all of government approach. Offender populations comprise some of the most marginalised and socially excluded individuals in society. With this comes poor health, engagement in risk behaviours and reduced social outcomes. Violence, mental health, infectious diseases, and substance misuse are all characteristics of offender populations and have a huge impact on the wider community. The ....Improving health and criminal justice outcomes among Australia's offender population using a multi-disciplinary, all of government approach. Offender populations comprise some of the most marginalised and socially excluded individuals in society. With this comes poor health, engagement in risk behaviours and reduced social outcomes. Violence, mental health, infectious diseases, and substance misuse are all characteristics of offender populations and have a huge impact on the wider community. The research programme linked to this application will collect new information aimed at reducing this impact and also develop a much needed intervention to reduce violent reoffending. Indigenous people are over-represented in the Australian prison system and will benefit from the work programme associated with this application.Read moreRead less
Gambling problems, risks and consequences in Indigenous Australian communities: An innovative public health analysis. This research is critical in building a national picture of Indigenous gambling. Indigenous communities will benefit from enhanced awareness of gambling risks and problems and empirical evidence to underpin potential remedies. Policy-makers will benefit from evidence to inform culturally-sensitive community education, health promotion, and help service delivery. Social benefits i ....Gambling problems, risks and consequences in Indigenous Australian communities: An innovative public health analysis. This research is critical in building a national picture of Indigenous gambling. Indigenous communities will benefit from enhanced awareness of gambling risks and problems and empirical evidence to underpin potential remedies. Policy-makers will benefit from evidence to inform culturally-sensitive community education, health promotion, and help service delivery. Social benefits include enhanced capacity to address Indigenous gambling problems, reduced gambling problems and their social, health and economic costs. It will inform preventative healthcare to promote good health and wellbeing for all Australians and strengthen Australia's social and economic fabric by lowering risk factors and strengthening support to address problem gambling.Read moreRead less
