Cardiovascular disease risk reduction interventions for Indigenous women: An umbrella review
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention strategies are predominantly informed by studies conducted in men from the general population, which can disadvantage women—particularly Indigenous women—whose CVD needs differ in terms of symptom presentation, healthcare access, receipt of guideline-recommended care and sociocultural roles. This review aims to summarize the effectiveness of CVD prevention interventions in Indigenous women in the USA, Canad…
Yorga Moorditj Koort: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women’s perspectives about heart health on Noongar Boodjar
In Australia, despite overall declines in cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related mortality, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women develop heart disease earlier and experience more than twice the rate of related morbidity and mortality compared with non-Indigenous women. This study explores Aboriginal women’s understandings of the factors that shape their heart health and lived experiences of CVD. We spoke with 28 Aboriginal women aged ≥18 yea…

The Physical and Mental Health of Mothers of Aboriginal Children in Out‐of‐Home Care in Western Australia
There is a need to better understand the physical and mental health of mothers of Aboriginal children who enter out‐of‐home care to prevent removals. Evidence suggests that families involved in child protection systems often experience significant needs that may culminate in child removals. For Aboriginal families, these are compounded by the inter‐generational trauma from colonisation which has resulted in health issues, poverty and family viole…
Culture, Health and Wellbeing: Yarning with the Victorian Indigenous community
Indigenous young people around the world suffer poorer mental health outcomes than their non-Indigenous counterparts. Currently, how culture matters for health, what cultural practices are used in community to support health and wellbeing, and how culture is passed on in Aboriginal contemporary life in south east Australia – a region most affected by settler-colonisation – is not well understood. This paper presents findings from yarns with a rep…
Aboriginal Children Placed in Out-of-Home Care: Pathways Through the Child Protection System
The overrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (respectfully referred to hereafter as "Aboriginal") children in the child protection system is a concern in Australia, with Aboriginal children placed in out-of-home care at a rate 11 times that of non-Aboriginal children. This study utilised linked administrative data to determine the longitudinal child protection pathways from birth to age 10 years for a cohort of 15,815 Aborigina…
Developing the "Moorditj Moort Boodja (Solid Family and Country) on the ground community relational framework for Aboriginal research engagement" in Western Australia: The Next Generation Aboriginal Y…
Indigenous research frameworks are key to enhancing cultural safety for participants, while facilitating capacity building for Indigenous researchers. Indigenous frameworks can address and balance out the potential harms of western research methods. This methodology article describes the experiences of an Indigenous research team in Western Australia (WA) and the developed research framework titled Moorditj Moort Boodja (Solid Family and Country)…
Roadmap to recovery: Reporting on a research taskforce supporting Indigenous responses to Covid‐19 in Australia
In April 2020 a Group of Eight Taskforce was convened, consisting of over 100 researchers, to provide independent, research‐based recommendations to the Commonwealth Government on a “Roadmap to Recovery” from COVID‐19. The report covered issues ranging from pandemic control and relaxation of social distancing measures, to well‐being and special considerations for vulnerable populations. Our work focused on the critical needs of Aboriginal and Tor…
Preschool attendance and developmental outcomes at age five in Indigenous and non-Indigenous children: A population-based cohort study of 100 357 Australian children
Background Policies to increase Australian Indigenous children’s participation in preschool aim to reduce developmental inequities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous children. This study aims to understand the benefits of preschool participation by quantifying the association between preschool participation in the year before school and developmental outcomes at age five in Indigenous and non-Indigenous children. Methods We used data from peri…
They took the land, now we’re fighting for a house’: Aboriginal perspectives about urban housing disadvantage
Aboriginal Australians experience substantial housing disadvantage on a range of measures, yet relatively little is known about how urban Aboriginal people perceive their housing circumstances. While most Aboriginal people live in urban or suburban areas, research and policy attention has tended to focus on remote housing issues. This paper draws on focus groups conducted with Aboriginal people at an Aboriginal Medical Service in Western Sydney (…
The Construct Validity of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire for Aboriginal Children Living in Urban New South Wales, Australia
The current study explores the construct validity of the standard Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) for Aboriginal children living in urban communities in New South Wales, Australia. Parent report SDQ data from the first 717 Aboriginal children aged 4–17 years who participated in the baseline survey of the Study of Environment on Aboriginal Resilience and Child Health were analysed. The overall construct validity of the SDQ in our sa…
