Cultural Adaptation of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Maternal and Child mHealth Intervention: Protocol for a Co-Design and Adaptation Research Study

Cultural Adaptation of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Maternal and Child mHealth Intervention: Protocol for a Co-Design and Adaptation Research Study

The importance of traditional family and kinship ties and knowledge of birthing and parenting practices remain largely unrecognized in the mainstream health services accessed by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities [4,5]. This contributes to poorer health outcomes experienced by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander pregnant women, babies, and young children compared with Caucasian Australians [2,4,6].

How Older Indigenous Women Living in High-Income Countries Use Digital Health Technology: Systematic Review

How Older Indigenous Women Living in High-Income Countries Use Digital Health Technology: Systematic Review

To empower and amplify Indigenous perspectives, we incorporated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander governance into this research by establishing an Aboriginal Project Governance (APG) group to oversee and participate in this study. The APG comprises 3 citizen scientists who reflected the research population of older Indigenous women. The review questions, search terms, and inclusion criteria were codeveloped and implemented in collaboration with the APG.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women’s Access to and Interest in mHealth: National Web-based Cross-sectional Survey

The life expectancy gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and non-Indigenous women is 7.6 years. Although the life expectancy of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women has improved in recent decades, the gap still remains [9]. Addressing the social, cultural, and political determinants of health will lead to the greatest improvements in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health outcomes [10].

Retention of the Aboriginal Health, Ageing, and Disability Workforce: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Retention of the Aboriginal Health, Ageing, and Disability Workforce: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Despite Australia being one of the most developed nations in the world, there is a significant and widening gap in health and welfare between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Aboriginal) people and non-Aboriginal people. Aboriginal people experience significantly higher rates of chronic health conditions, preventable disease, and disability than non-Aboriginal people because of the effects of colonization and structural barriers to accessing health services.
