The government is committed to reducing the gap in Aboriginal health. This research is part of the Study of Environment on Aboriginal Resilience and Child Health; Australia’s largest prospective, longitudinal study of urban Aboriginal children. It will provide, for the first time, comprehensive information about the causes of health and illness in a large group of urban Aboriginal children. It will identify factors that can be changed in families and early childhood to prevent later disease.
Methamphetamine Clandestine Laboratories: An Analysis Of The Geo-spatial Dynamics Between Ecological Factors, Pharmacists, Pseudo-runners And Related Health Harms.

Funding Amount

Summary
Methamphetamine (MA) manufacture in clandestine laboratories (clan labs) presents serious health and environmental risks beyond the impact on MA users. My fellowship seeks to better understand the interplay between the geography and population features of clan lab locations, the role of pharmacists and pseudo-runners in MA manufacture and MA-related harm. This evidence provides critical information for policy and program development aimed at reducing the MA manufacture and MA-related harm.
Communication During Hospitalisation: The Path To Better Healthcare
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$327,991.00
Summary
The aims of this research are to remove barriers to successful communication in hospital for people with no speech. Better communication in hospital will facilitate patient participation in health care decisions and reduce adverse experiences arising through poor communication. Project outcomes will lead to changes in policy and practice to improve the health care of patients in hospital, improve the health of Australians, and bring economic improvements through better care.
Assessing The Impact Of Geographical Location And Socioeconomics On Clinical Outcomes From Breast Cancer

Funding Amount

Summary
Inequalities in survival from and treatment for breast cancer continue to exist in Australia, particularly for women from rural and remote areas, and for disadvantaged populations. Currently, we do not know to what extent these inequalities are due to individual characteristics or to the area in which a women lives. By understanding how these factors impact on clinical outcomes, we enable us to better target health programs, policy and practice to reduce the burden of cancer.
