Funded Activity Summary

Persistent disabling musculoskeletal pain (PDMP) e.g. from the spine, shoulder, knee, is an unmet priority in Aboriginal health care. We will investigate Aboriginal peoples’ experiences of PDMP, develop and utilise an audit tool to ascertain current health care practices, and develop, implement and evaluate a model of PDMP care. This project is in three rural West Australian sites and underpinned by cultural security. The anticipated outcome is better PDMP care and an implementation-ready model.
