Abstract:

Australia has decades of public policy experience attempting to overcome the disparities in health outcomes facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) Australians. Significant resources have accompanied these policy initiatives, however, Indigenous Australians continue to bear a heavier burden of death, disease, disability and economic hardship than other Australians. Despite the policy experience of Australia and widespread support for initiatives to overcome Indigenous disadvantage, there is little consensus on the best means to actually do so.

Abstract:

The health disadvantage of Indigenous people in Australia has been recognised for a long time. The reasons for this poor health status are considered to be complex and multi-faceted. Socioeconomic status, socio-cultural factors, access to quality healthcare, environmental factors and risky behaviours are considered the major factors affecting Indigenous health. Despite this, very little progress has been made in reducing the health inequality between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.This thesis examines the health inequality between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

Abstract:

Overview The program of research presented in this thesis was designed to increase understanding of the central issues related to Indigenous peoples’ hospitalisation experiences. Emphasis was given to Indigenous peoples’ cardiovascular health care. This area was chosen because cardiovascular disease has been described as one of the major contributors to the health disparity between Indigenous and non-indigenous peoples in Australia. This was of interest to me because the main study setting is a cardiothoracic hospital. This hospital is the largest referral centre for cardiac conditions in Quee

BACKGROUND: Indigenous populations in the United States (US) experience worse health outcomes and higher disease prevalence compared to the US all race population.

Women are central to Primary Health Care strategies because of their social reproductive roles as family health carers, the health implications of biological reproduction, and the focus on family planning within related services. Such factors ensure that women have a close relationship with health policy and institutions.

Abstract:

This thesis details how the current health system consistently fails to incorporate Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing. Using the Intervention Level Framework and the 3Es (enact, embed, and enable), the thesis demonstrates the ongoing coloniality and systemic racism of Indigenous public health policymaking and health systems in Australia. The research cogently demonstrates the need for greater self-determination and control of Indigenous affairs by Indigenous people, the necessity of privileging Indigenous voices, and Indigenous control, direction, and co-design a public policy-making

Indigenous Australians are currently hospitalised for mental health disorders at significantly higher rates than members of the non-Indigenous population.

Settler colonialism has detrimental effects on the health and wellbeing of Indigenous peoples, as seen, for example, in the disproportionately high rates of chronic diseases experienced among Indigenous peoples. Indigenous peoples in Canada experience higher levels of ill health related to obesity, diabetes, and other chronic conditions than non-Indigenous people. Indigenous women experience greater incidents of chronic disease than men and are thus particularly vulnerable to ill health.

I follow specific illness events among residents of Amuzgos and I allow individuals actions and their reflections on those actions act as a correct

<p>This thesis investigated the potential role of indigenous healers in life skills education in South African schools. The main focus of this study was to explore how indigenous knowledge of traditional healers can contribute to the development of life skills education in South African schools. The research also sought to strengthen Education Support Services in the South African education system, in order to address barriers to learning. These barriers to learning are linked to health challenges such as substance abuse, violence, malnutrition and HIV/AIDS and many other health-related issues

Abstract:

This cross sectional study evaluated if coffee, associated with reduced linear growth, anemia and immunomodulation could contribute to childhood stunting and iron deficiency (ID) and anemia in Indigenous Ngöbe Buglé children and mothers. Questionnaires on socio-economic status, health, diet, anthropometry, iron supplement use and coffee consumption and a sample of coffee, venous blood and stool were collected. Our best model suggests that coffee is an independent negative predictor of stunting in children along with having inflammation, higher Ascaris infection, lower meat consumption, being a

This qualitative research articulates and develops an Anishnabe-Nehiyaw Cree perspective of a tribal pedagogy. The author weaves elements of critical ethnographies, Indigenous oral histories and critical tribal and feminist theories throughout the dissertation. She describes five pedagogical pathways that were developed through an Indigenous conversation method (Kovach, 2010) in 8 research circles with 18 Indigenous Elders in central, rural Manitoba. The research utilizes Indigenous storywork methodologies to gather and interpret the research on Indigenous local land-based pedagogies. The spec

Doctor of Philosophy<br>This thesis analyses the concept of indigenous peoples’ right to self–determination within the international human rights system and explores viable avenues for the fulfilment of indigenous claims to self–determination through the design, implementation and evaluation of development policies. The thesis argues that development policy plays a crucial role in determining the level of enjoyment of self–determination for indigenous peoples. Development policy can offer an avenue to bypass nation states’ political unwillingness to recognize and promote indigenous peoples’ ri

Abstract:

Introduction: Around 80% of the population in sub-Saharan Africa use indigenous medicine when ill, before consulting biomedical health practitioners, and many only consult doctors when their disease is at an advanced stage or the indigenous medicine has failed. The rise in TB infection has led the South African government to consider collaboration between African indigenous health and biomedical health practitioners in order to counter a pandemic among communities. The World Health Organisation (WHO) advocates incorporating African indigenous health and biomedical health practitioners t

Abstract:

How traditional healing can be enhanced in cities, has been the subject of discussion between myself and Indigenous Elders, and between many others, for over 15 years. This project was initiated and completed through the recommendations of Indigenous Elders, through prayer and dreaming, and through increasingly specific factors: 1. Two to four hundred years of unequal relations between colonizing and Indigenous peoples, resulting in 2. Significant and persistent inequalities in the health and educational status of Indigenous peoples, leading to 3. Indigenous calls for more culturally appropria

Abstract:

Indigenous Australian Social-Health theory, this thesis, and my book based on it, A Theory for Indigenous Australian Health and Human Service Work, published by Allen and Unwin, began when we, me and fellow Indigenous students and workers, collaboratively identified the need to have our knowledge documented. The collaborative nature of this research project continued throughout, so that although this research and dissertation is my work, the information shared so generously throughout the process means it is collective knowledge. The format of this thesis uses a theme of knowledge, and draw

Abstract:

It is acknowledged that part of the failure to improve Indigenous health is due to the lack of participation of Indigenous people in national policy and decision making processes. In this three part study I investigated the nature of Indigenous people’s participation in national Indigenous health policy processes. I combined quantitative and qualitative methods through the perspective of policy networks.<br>The first part of the study was directed at the prominence of informal networks in the evolution of Indigenous affairs policy. I aimed to determine and describe the structural location of I
