The facilitators and barriers to exercise in the Noongar Aboriginal population in Perth, Australia
Indigenous Standpoint Theory forms the epistemological foundation for this study and methodological choices were made within this theoretical framework to ensure culturally responsive research processes that engaged the Indigenous agenda of self-determination and rights. The objectives of this research were to determine: (i) Indigenous perceptions of the facilitators and barriers to exercise; (ii) The potential feasibility and sustainability of a…
Physical Activity and Self-Reported Metabolic Syndrome Risk Factors in the Aboriginal Population in Perth, Australia, Measured Using an Adaptation of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ)
Background: Complex, ongoing social factors have led to a context where metabolic syndrome (MetS) is disproportionately high in Aboriginal Australians. MetS is characterised by insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, high blood-sugar and low HDL-C. This descriptive study aimed to document physical activity levels, including domains and intensity and sedentary behaviour, and MetS risk factors in the Perth Aborigi…
Indigenous research methodologies
To design a questionnaire that would determine an Indigenous individual’s perceptions of the barriers and motivators to aerobic and anabolic exercise with a series of questions designed to elicit the factors that impact uptake and retention of regular physical activity. For this purpose, a questionnaire was designed to capture information relating to motivators and barriers, traditional physical activities, preferred exercise environments, exerci…
Implementing health promotion tools in Australian Indigenous primary health care
BACKGROUND: In Australia, significant resources have been invested in producing health promotion best practice guidelines, frameworks and tools (herein referred to as health promotion tools) as a strategy to improve Indigenous health promotion programmes. Yet, there has been very little rigorous implementation research about whether or how health promotion tools are implemented. This paper theorizes the complex processes of health promotion tool …
Nutritional predictors of successful chronic disease prevention for a community cohort in Central Australia
Objective To investigate biomarkers of nutrition associated with chronic disease absence for an Aboriginal cohort. Design Screening for nutritional biomarkers was completed at baseline (1995). Evidence of chronic disease (diabetes, CVD, chronic kidney disease or hypertension) was sought from primary health-care clinics, hospitals and death records over 10 years of follow-up. Principal components analysis was used to group baseline nutritional bio…
Strengths and limitations of a tool for monitoring and evaluating First Peoples’ health promotion from an ecological perspective
Establishing the cultural validity of the ecological coding procedure is necessary to adequately capture the underlying program activities of community-based health promotion programs designed to benefit First Peoples, and its collaborative implementation with First Peoples supports a human rights approach to health program evaluation
Economic rationalisation of health behaviours
When analysing the health behaviours of any group of people, understanding the constraints and possibilities for individual agency as shaped by the broader societal context is critical. In recent decades, our understanding of the ways in which physical and social environments influence health and health behaviours has expanded greatly. The authors of a recent analysis of Australian Aboriginal health data using an economic 'rational choice model,'…
Hypertriglyceridemic waist and newly-diagnosed diabetes among remote-dwelling Indigenous Australians
HTgW has a high prevalence and is associated with newly-diagnosed diabetes in Indigenous people, particularly those with BMI <22 kg/m(2), whom clinicians might not normally consider for screening
A pilot study of Aboriginal health promotion from an ecological perspective
The evaluation was useful for assessing the impact of the program on the nutrition environment and for understanding the ecological nature of program activities
Evaluation of an FFQ for assessment of antioxidant intake using plasma biomarkers in an ethnically diverse population
Objective To evaluate FFQ estimates of dietary intake of individual antioxidants, fruit and vegetables in comparison to plasma concentrations of each antioxidant, and to determine which individual foods are associated with plasma antioxidant concentrations. Design Dietary (α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein/zeaxanthin, lycopene, retinol, and vitamin E) intakes over 12 months were estimated from a 121-item FFQ. Correlation coefficient…
Rating Health and Social Indicators for Use with Indigenous Communities
Identifying psychosocial mediators of health amongst Indigenous Australians for the Heart Health Project
Five major themes and 15 sub-themes emerged from data analysis. The findings indicated that while a sense of control may be one factor impacting on health and health behaviours, there were other factors that participants spoke about more readily that have specific relevance to the social and cultural context of Indigenous health. These included history, relationship with mainstream and connectedness. These may be worthy of further empirical inves…
