Exploring knowledge, experience and perceptions of chronic health conditions

This research project was focussed on collecting new information regarding the experiences and perceptions of chronic health conditions impacting on the Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander community within the Greater Rockhampton region. This information is not available in the current literature and data sets and was identified as a gap in what is known about chronic conditions. The outcomes of this research suggests much needs to be done in assisting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to manage and prevent chronic illness, despite the current treatment and management programs available.
