Evaluation of the B.strong Queensland Indigenous Health Worker Brief Intervention Training Program for Multiple Health Risk Behaviours
Queensland's B.strong brief intervention training program was a complex intervention developed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers to assist clients address multiple health risks of smoking, poor nutrition and physical inactivity. This study evaluates program effectiveness by applying the Kirkpatrick four-level evaluation model: (1) Reaction, participants' satisfaction; (2) Learning, changes in participants' knowledge, confid…
Aboriginal alcohol policy and practice in Australia
Tea Art as Everyday Practice
In recent decades a style of preparing and drinking tea modelled largely on gongfu tea associated with the Chaoshan region of north-eastern Guangdong Province, China, has been taken up as a contemporary tea art in Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and elsewhere. This paper draws on fieldwork conducted in Chaoshan to examine gongfu tea as contemporary practice in its home setting. Three aspects are considered: gongfu tea as an everyday pract…
Does leaving an abusive partner lead to a decline in victimization
Changing a partner does not interrupt the continuity of victimization either for male or female respondents, and previous IPV victimization remained a determining factor of re-abuse, despite re-partnering
Puer Tea
Reform and Resistance
Alcohol policies and control measures are attempts to change what is deemed (by processes that are themselves open to analysis) to be problematic drinking behavior. Attempts to bring about behavioral or cultural shifts, however, typically generate resistance, which may take place as small local actions by individuals in their everyday lives, or evolve into broader social phenomena. This article argues that, while some alcohol researchers have rec…
Prevention of Alcohol-Related Crime and Trauma (Pact)
This project allows direct transfer of research findings into clinical practice and can inform future hospital-based injury prevention strategies
Problematizing Alcohol through the Eyes of the Other
This article traces the evolution of alcohol policy in the Northern Territory, Australia, over the past half century, from the removal of prohibition on the possession and consumption of alcohol by Aboriginal people, to the emergence of spatially-defined restrictions which, while not overtly referring to Aborigines, are designed primarily to contain consumption in public by Aboriginal drinkers. Aboriginal alcohol-related problems, which are serio…
Controlling “rivers of Grog”
In 2007, a report into the sexual abuse of children in Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory, Australia, led to allegations that “rivers of grog [alcohol]” were destroying these communities. It also precipitated a dramatic shift in Aboriginal policy by the Australian government, in which principles of self-determination were discarded in favor of top-down measures designed to restrict Aboriginal access to alcohol. While not disputing t…
Measuring Exposure to Cannabis use and other Substance use in Remote Aboriginal Populations in Northern Australia
We evaluate a method to describe changing substance use patterns in northern Australia's remote Aboriginal communities (Arnhem Land, Northern Territory). Substance use was assessed in random samples in two communities A (n = 194) and B (n = 176). Five Aboriginal health workers made assessments independently of each other in community A. A different group of three health workers made independent assessments in community B. Sub-samples were opportu…
Alcohol, Communities and Researchers
The growing importance of local communities as sites for preventive alcohol-related initiatives has generated interest in the role of research associated with community action. To date, however, this has not led to a theoretically informed account because of a failure to account reflexively for researchers' own practices and the use of conceptually inadequate models of “community.” This paper proposes an analytical framework, derived from the aut…
Silence of the sociologists
The author examines the conceptual underpinning of the new public health approach. He examines existing attempts to explain Indigenous Australian alcohol use, most of which have been written by non- Indigenous observers, and Indigenous critiques of these explanations. He outlines a sociologically informed model of the use, effects and management of alcohol at a local level. This model is intended, not as an alternative to the public health framew…
The Power Of Kava Or The Power Of Ideas
Le kava se substitua, dans les annees 1980, a l'alcool interdit chez les Aborigenes du Territoire du Nord de l'Australie. Un marche se developpa rapidement mais progressivement la legislation australienne puis du Territoire du Nord evolua vers un controle plus etroit et des restrictions plus importantes. Le changement d'attitude a l'egard d'une telle consommation s'explique par les resultats de la recherche, par une opposition aborigene, par un «…
