Uncovering the Determinants of Cardiovascular Disease among Indigenous People
We conclude that an appropriate methodology for the elucidation of the aetiology, and sequelae of CVD in Indigenous people, would go far beyond 'black box' epidemiology, would recognise the essentially social nature of chronic disease by deploying appropriate social theory within a transdisciplinary framework and would centre Indigenous people as the dominant partner in the research process
The social determinants of Indigenous health
This paper starts by sketching the main dimensions of what I term the catastrophe of Indigenous health with special reference to the Northern Territory of Australia. It then subjects current research on this topic to critical analysis and finds the bulk of this work is deficient in that it is indifferent to social theory and dominated by a simplistic quantitative positivism which is incapable of capturing the complex aetiology and pathways of chr…

This paper reviews the most recent literature on Indigenous income, noting pitfalls in applying standard poverty research techniques to Indigenous society. The purpose of this review is to derive the best estimates available of the income level of Indigenous people in Australia, an estimate which is then used as the basis for a series of tests of the efficacy of this variable as a predictor of Indigenous mortality. The conclusion is that, althoug…
