Funded Activity Summary

We will use linked hospital and death data, and multilevel models, to estimate the contributions of individual-, area- and service-level factors to inequalities in the outcomes of hospital care between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Factors investigated will include socioeconomic status, remoteness, access to primary care services, and hospital characteristics. Conditions explored will include heart disease, stroke, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma.
