Alcohol screening in 22 Australian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations
Survey methods and characteristics of a sample of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non‐Indigenous people who have recently used methamphetamine
Acceptability and feasibility of a computer-based application to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians describe their alcohol consumption
We examined acceptability and feasibility of a tablet application ("App") to record self-reported alcohol consumption among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. Four communities (1 urban; 3 regional/remote) tested the App, with 246 adult participants (132 males, 114 females). The App collected (a) completion time; (b) participant feedback; (c) staff observations. Three research assistants were interviewed. Only six (1.4%) participan…
Demonstrating Impact
In this paper, we describe the innovative way in which the Queensland Aboriginal and Islander Health Council uses "clicker technology" to gather data to report on the key performance indicators of its "AOD-our-way" program, and how, with the subsequent combination of those data with other performance measures, it was possible to go beyond the initial evaluation. The paper also illustrates how the application of survey research methods could furth…

The Be Our Ally Beat Smoking (Boabs) study, a randomised controlled trial of an intensive smoking cessation intervention in a remote aboriginal Australian health care setting
Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (Indigenous Australians) smoke at much higher rates than non-Indigenous people and smoking is an important contributor to increased disease, hospital admissions and deaths in Indigenous Australian populations. Smoking cessation programs in Australia have not had the same impact on Indigenous smokers as on non-Indigenous smokers. This paper describes the outcome of a study that aimed to test…
Clinical trials in a remote Aboriginal setting
The keys to the success of the BOABS Study were local development, ownership and participation, worker professional development and support, and operating within a framework of cultural safety. There were difficulties associated with the BOABS Study being an RCT, and many of these are shared with stand-alone programs. Interventions targeted at particular health problems are best integrated with usual primary health care. Research to investigate c…

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…
Theorising Indigenous health
For more than two decades we have bene engaged in a program of research which examines the health of Indigenous people. More recetnly this work has focussed on ways in which the substance misuse affects communities, and their responses to it. Our work is framed by understandings derived from political economy, which directs attention to the web of political and economic relations surrounding individuals and social groups. We have stressed that th…
Supplying and Promoting ‘Grog’
The deleterious effects of alcohol misuse among Aboriginal Australians have been well documented and are widely acknowledged by Aboriginal people. However, most academic discussion has attempted to explain the demand for alcohol by Aboriginal people. In this review, we argue for an analysis of the political economy of Aboriginal alcohol use which also focuses on the supply and promotion of alcohol. Our own research and that of others demonstrates…
A clinical trial of a self-care approach to the management of chronic headache in general practice
An Old Humanist's Reply to Apple
The critique of The Paideia Proposal embodied in the Paper Old Humanists and New Curricula: Politics and Culture in The Paideia Proposal, seems in part sympathetic with the goals of Paideia and in part angry that the proposal does not go far enough in dealing with the social and economic inequities that plague our society. It makes a case for the need to remedy those larger inequities but assumes that the Paideia recommendation of a single curric…
