Summary
The research aims to improve outcomes for Aboriginal people with chronic disease, through strategies of care that address health system barriers. The project aims to understand barriers and then to develop, implement and evaluate appropriate models of care that incorporate policy development and engagement. The project is to incorporate research partnerships and Indigenous sector capacity development.
Excessive sitting and population health: strengthening the science and the relevance to policy and practice. The majority of Australian adults spend most of their waking hours sitting; this increases the likelihood of developing diseases of inactivity, including diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. New research will investigate what factors encourage excessive sitting and what the health benefits are for people who deliberately do less sitting.
