Funded Activity Summary
Negotiating the Challenge of Cultural Diversity in Children's Health Care: The Australian Context. The increasing population of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) Australians creates challenges which research to date has only partially identified and addressed. In particular, family dynamics, parenting practices and culturally specific beliefs regarding illness in childhood influence and at times severely inhibit effective access to all aspects of our health care system. Employing qualitative and quantitative methods, this project will generate Australian evidence-based research by mapping the range of cultural practices at the interface of health service provision, providing culturally appropriate and relevant data to inform policy, planning and resourcing of health services for CALD children and parents/carers in NSW.Funded Activity Details
