Funded Activity Summary

Taking medication for depression varies by cultural groups. This project will examine how Indian-Australians and Anglo-Australians access and use antidepressant treatments from biomedicine and complementary and alternative medicine. The project looks at the effects of these medicines and treatments on the body and wellbeing and how some treatments could be integrated to deliver more holistic and culturally sensitive forms of care.
