Multiple stigmas, shame and historical trauma compound the experience of Aboriginal Australians living with hepatitis C
Hepatitis C (HCV) is a stigmatised disease due, in part, to an association with injecting drug use. Aboriginal Australians, a stigmatised group, are over-represented in patterns of HCV infections. We examined the experience of Aboriginal Australians living with HCV using qualitative in-depth interviews, paying particular attention to instances where multiple stigma mechanisms (relating to HCV, injecting drug use and Aboriginal identity) overlappe…

One size fits all? The discursive framing of cultural difference in health professional accounts of providing cancer care to Aboriginal people

Critically unpacking the 'taken for granted' assumptions behind how health…

One concept used to examine inequities in health outcomes between groups is health literacy. Recent research and advocacy have pointed to the importance of increasing health literacy as it relates to cancer among Aboriginal people. This study examined individual, social and cultur…
