Summary
Alcohol Management Plans (AMPs) implemented by the Queensland Government a decade ago (2002-03), primarily to control alcohol availability in Indigenous communities, are currently under review. AMPs seemed to have a number of positive effects on injury rates related to alcohol use, however a paucity of rigorous data related to injuries is currently available. An in-depth study of alcohol related injury and resilience linked to alcohol injuries in four Indigenous communities will be conducted.

Funding Amount

Summary
Adolescence is a critical life stage where health behaviours are formed that have a lifelong impact. My work program focuses on understanding the impact of food insecurity, as well as the extent of food skills and other self-care capabilities in young people. I will also explore understandings of health and well-being among young Aboriginal women. Collectively this work will identify opportunities for interventions for this group that take into account their broader social environment.
