Tuberculosis In The Asia-Pacific: Identification And Comparison Of Transmission Hot Spots
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$120,253.00
Summary
The Asia-Pacific is home to 60% of the global burden of tuberculosis and an increasing proportion of Australia's immigrant population. Although most targets relating to this disease are likely to be achieved, patterns of tuberculosis transmission in the Asia-Pacific are not fully understood and the possibility of regional hotspots exists. We aim to use mathematical techniques to examine the way in which tuberculosis is transmitted from person to person in populations within our region.
Transferring International Models Of Aboriginal-centered Health Care Into Australian Hospital Settings
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$83,666.00
Summary
Chile and Australia have similar health care systems, levels of economic development and Indigenous demographics. Effective approaches to improve Chilean Aboriginal health may therefore be transferable to Australia. The research will examine barriers and facilitators to Aboriginal-centred health care practices within Chile and use these findings to understand how similar strategies may be applied to an Australian context and the possible benefits of successful implementation.
Characterising Disease Burden In Youth: A Systematic Analysis Of Global Data
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$137,700.00
Summary
I am a paediatric trainee who has worked with young people in a variety of settings. I have also completed training in epidemiology. My project will use the Global Burden of Disease study to estimate rates of death, disease, injury and risk factors for young people on a global scale. It will extend the burden of disease framework to better understand Indigenous young people’s health in Australia, and will critically review the best ways to measure the health of young Indigenous people.
