Summary
The two most common clinical sleep disorders, insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), affect >4 million Australians, costing Australia over $66 billion annually. People with sleep disorders are receiving care that is far from best practice and is potentially dangerous. This novel partnership study represents a major step towards improving management of sleep disorders in primary care (PC) using new, evidence-based, models of care for insomnia and OSA, designed specifically for PC.
A national collaboration to generate new knowledge, co-design, implement, evaluate and measure individual and organisational level interventions that will address key barriers to leadership across capacity, perceived capability and credibility and cultural diversity, to successful advance women in healthcare leadership. This work is highly prioritised by partners and in a policy context.
Enhancing Hepatitis C Testing And Treatment Among People Who Inject Drugs In Drug Treatment Settings: The ETHOS III Study
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$1,349,604.00
Summary
Progress towards hepatitis C elimination has been slowed. Given that most people with hepatitis C have a history of injecting drug use, reducing hepatitis C burden requires scale-up of enhanced testing and treatment for people who inject drugs. This Partnership project will evaluate an intervention to enhance hepatitis C testing and treatment in drug treatment clinics and develop a translational framework to scale-up hepatitis C care in this setting nationally.
