Resilience In Individuals And Families Coping With The Impacts Of Alcohol Related Injuries In Remote Indigenous Communities: A Program Of Mixed Method Research
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$316,449.00
Summary
Alcohol Management Plans (AMPs) implemented by the Queensland Government a decade ago (2002-03), primarily to control alcohol availability in Indigenous communities, are currently under review. AMPs seemed to have a number of positive effects on injury rates related to alcohol use, however a paucity of rigorous data related to injuries is currently available. An in-depth study of alcohol related injury and resilience linked to alcohol injuries in four Indigenous communities will be conducted.

Funding Amount
$318,768.00
Summary
Adolescence is a critical life stage where health behaviours are formed that have a lifelong impact. My work program focuses on understanding the impact of food insecurity, as well as the extent of food skills and other self-care capabilities in young people. I will also explore understandings of health and well-being among young Aboriginal women. Collectively this work will identify opportunities for interventions for this group that take into account their broader social environment.

Summary
This project aims to develop an Aboriginal model of care and a sustainable and culturally safe framework for evaluating the delivery of mental health services to Aboriginal people living with a serious mental illness in an urban setting. Outcomes from this project, because of their transferability, will add significantly to the theoretical and methodological body of knowledge on the delivery of health services to Indigenous people, in WA, Australia and internationally.

Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$348,768.00

This fellowship involves 3 inter-related bodies of work focussing on adolescent health. Firstly, I will use existing data to better describe the health needs of adolescents living in the Asia-Pacific region, with a focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adolescents. Secondly, I will identify priority areas for better data collection and explore novel methods to fill key gaps. Thirdly, I will investigate how the described health profiles can be translated into health action.
Researching Effective Strategies To Tackle Tobacco Use In Indigenous Populations In Northern Australia
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$353,438.00
Summary
Twice as many Indigenous Australians smoke as non-Indigenous. Smoking is a major cause of poor health amongst Indigenous adults and exposure of Indigenous children to second hand smoke is associated with childhood respiratory illness. The aim of this project is to find out which tobacco control programs work best to both reduce rates of smoking amongst Indigenous people and protect children from harmful second hand smoke.
