This issue of Microbiology Australia is devoted to Microbes that cause disease particularly in our Indigenous populations. We have for example the worldwide highest rates of Rheumatic Fever and Heart Disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. These follow streptococcal infections mostly as a result of skin damage through primary infections with pathogens such as parasitic scabies mites.

The lack of literature on Indigenous conceptions of health and the social determinants of health (SDH) for US Indigenous communities limits available information for Indigenous nations as they set policy and allocate resources to improve the health of their citizens. In 2015, eight scholars from tribal communities and mainstream educational institutions convened to examine: the limitations of applying the World Health Organization’s (WHO) SDH framework in Indigenous communities; Indigenizing the WHO SDH framework; and Indigenous conceptions of a healthy community. Participants critiqued the assumptions within the WHO SDH framework that did not cohere with Indigenous knowledges and epistemologies and created a schematic for conceptualizing health and categorizing its determinants. As Indigenous nations pursue a policy role in health and seek to improve the health and wellness of their nations’ citizens, definitions of Indigenous health and well-being should be community-driven and Indigenous-nation based. Policies and practices for Indigenous nations and Indigenous communities should reflect and arise from sovereignty and a comprehensive understanding of the nations and communities’ conceptions of health and its determinants beyond the SDH.

Australia has decades of public policy experience attempting to overcome the disparities in health outcomes facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) Australians. Significant resources have accompanied these policy initiatives, however, Indigenous Australians continue to bear a heavier burden of death, disease, disability and economic hardship than other Australians. Despite the policy experience of Australia and widespread support for initiatives to overcome Indigenous disadvantage, there is little consensus on the best means to actually do so. Working to ensure that available resources are used in their most effective way possible is vital to improving the health of Australia’s Indigenous populations. At its broadest level, health economics is the study of the choices made in the allocation of scarce resources to improve the health status of populations and service delivery. Notwithstanding the political, moral and economic importance of the issue, there remains limited health economic research in the field of Indigenous health nor is there a developed evidence base to provide guidance to policy-makers looking to invest in cost-effective interventions. Further, health economic methods have been criticised as potentially inappropriate for the area of Indigenous health. Current methods for economic evaluation tend to adopt a reductionist approach based on a cost per health outcome paradigm and are potentially insensitive to the outcomes and processes that Indigenous people see to be of value to their health and health care on three broad and related levels. First, Indigenous conceptions of health have been shown to differ from the biomedical notions which tend to underlie the reductionist approach of health economic evaluations. Second, a central tenet of Indigenous health care is community ownership and control of healthcare services. As such there is value associated with how well services achieve engagement with communities which may also be missed through a reductionist health economic approach. Third, social determinants of health have also been demonstrated to be particularly important to the health outcomes of Indigenous Australians but again have tended to lie outside the domain of traditional economic evaluation methods. Potentially because of these and other difficulties, resource allocation decisions in the field of Indigenous health have been made without a strong economic evidence-base and have instead seemingly relied on rights-based arguments promoting investment based on the sizeable need that these communities face. While there is no denying the stark disadvantage facing Australia’s Indigenous populations, such rights-based arguments provide little guidance on how much to invest or on trade-offs between different policy options or individual service components. Further, the weight attributed to such arguments has tended to vary according to the prevailing political climate. Health economic approaches on the other hand, can provide evidence based on value that can transcend politics and lay the foundation for rational priority-setting that maximises the health of target populations. Ignoring the realities of resource scarcity in the sector will not allow policy interventions to maximise the health outcomes for Australia’s Indigenous communities. Health economic methods such as discrete choice experiments (DCEs) and contingent valuation studies have been used to value factors outside of traditional economic evaluations in other fields yet have been largely untested in Australian Indigenous populations. Such techniques potentially represent a direct means through which to incorporate Indigenous values and preferences into the evaluation and design of health programs and ultimately a mechanism for the sector to demonstrate the value and impact that properly designed services can have. There is limited empirical understanding of the role of culturally-specific healthcare providers in terms of the service use patterns of these communities and overcoming the barriers that face Indigenous Australians attempting to access health services. Examining these issues through an economic lens is likely to provide a level of guidance to policy-makers that is currently absent from Indigenous health policy in Australia. This thesis explores these issues through a mixed-methods approach investigating the application and merits of a variety of health economic methods in these populations. Chapter 1 introduces the major issues in the field and provides an overview of the published literature carried out to date. Chapter 2 presents a more detailed investigation of the economic evaluation literature with a systematic review of published economic evaluations investigating health interventions in Indigenous populations around the world. The review finds relatively limited economic evaluation of health care interventions for Indigenous populations in Australia or globally, however, what has been done has demonstrated the potential for cost-effective interventions in these populations. Almost no consideration of alternative conceptions of health or Indigenous-specific values were found through the review. Chapter 3 examines this issue further, investigating the use of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instruments in these populations, one of the most direct method to incorporate Indigenous conceptions of health into evaluations of health programs, through a systematic review of the use of these instruments in Indigenous populations around the world. The review found that while HRQoL instruments have been used to elicit the quality of life of Indigenous populations their use was relatively limited, as was evidence of the validation of these instruments in these population groups. The evidence that does exist suggests that some Indigenous populations potentially conceptualise these issues fundamentally differently to populations in which these tools have been designed and validated. Chapter 4 discusses the findings of the reviews presented in Chapters 2 and 3 in light of the Australian policy context. The chapter argues that the policy environment has emphasised rights-based rather than economic arguments in resource allocation decisions that has left room for efficiency and equity improvements in the way that resource allocation decisions are made in the field of Indigenous health. Given this, the chapter calls for further work to investigate the service utilisation of Indigenous populations and the role of culturally-specific healthcare providers and incorporate Indigenous values to value programs to improve Indigenous health including through contingent valuation and discrete choice experiment methodologies. Chapter 5 takes up the first of these issues with an analysis of the healthcare expenditure of a cohort of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians at high-risk of cardiovascular disease to investigate the relative service utilisation of the two groups. The analysis finds that when individuals are engaged with care providers, culturally-specific providers were providing equivalent care to mainstream providers in non-remote areas and factors other than patient Aboriginality seem to be more important in determining the healthcare expenditure of these high-risk patients. The chapter also highlights problems with current data collections in the field that acts to obscure analysis of service utilisation patterns of Indigenous Australians, particularly in remote areas, and comparisons between the relative service use of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Chapter 6 further investigates the role of culturally-specific service providers through a DCE attempting to value the cultural component of a fall-prevention service. The chapter presents the findings of a DCE carried out in a cohort of older Aboriginal people receiving a culturally-specific fall-prevention intervention. The chapter demonstrates that DCEs provide a potential means to incorporate the preferences of Indigenous communities into the design and evaluation of health services. A value for the cultural component of the service was derived through the DCE and the relative importance of different barriers to care to the decision-making of the participants were investigated. Chapter 7 presents the findings of a contingent valuation study investigating the value that the Australian community places on holding a driver licence as an example of a social determinant that has been shown to be associated with positive health outcomes in Indigenous populations. The analysis finds contingent valuation techniques can provide a means to value social determinants of health that lie outside traditional health economic evaluations and to value broader policy interventions to improve living standards. Chapter 8 puts forward the main findings of this thesis arguing that the health economics field has an important role to play in improving the health of Australia’s Indigenous populations. Appropriate targeting of available resources is essential to close the gap in health outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Economic research is vital to build an evidence-base for policy makers looking to invest in cost-effective policy options and this needs to be based on factors that Indigenous communities consider important to their health and healthcare. Potential for economic evaluation of programs needs to be a key consideration in resource allocation decisions in the field. These need to be robust enough to incorporate the factors that are important to Indigenous Australians. The role of culturally-specific providers needs to be better understood as do the different components that make up such a service. Finally, incorporating social determinants of health into the health policy environment remains crucial in the field of Indigenous health. Given the political, moral and economic importance of overcoming the disparities faced by Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, the relative lack of health economic research in the sector is a failing of the field in Australia. Building an economic evidence base will assist those working in the sector to demonstrate the value of appropriately designed, culturally acceptable healthcare services and decision-makers in the field to move beyond rights-based arguments for funding decisions. Collectively this will enable a system of rational priority-setting in the sector whereby the health impacts derived from scarce resources are maximised.

The health disadvantage of Indigenous people in Australia has been recognised for a long time. The reasons for this poor health status are considered to be complex and multi-faceted. Socioeconomic status, socio-cultural factors, access to quality healthcare, environmental factors and risky behaviours are considered the major factors affecting Indigenous health. Despite this, very little progress has been made in reducing the health inequality between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.This thesis examines the health inequality between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. First, the thesis investigates the gap in subjective and objective health outcomes between the two populations. The health outcomes include self-assessed health, chronic diseases and injury. Second, it looks at the relative contribution of four factors to the low health status of Indigenous Australians, viz.: demographic, behavioural, socio-economic and cultural. Third, as the Indigenous population is not a homogenous group, the thesis analyses separately the health status of different groups relative to non-Indigenous people. Fourth, the extent of association of each of the four factors to the health outcomes is examined. In addition, similar analyses are undertaken for healthcare utilisation.The thesis finds that only a minor proportion of the gap in health outcomes can be explained by observable demographic, behavioural and socio-economic characteristics. The removal of Indigenous people from their natural families (especially that of relatives) as part of the ‘assimilation policy’ is a major contributing factor to the health status gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. The better socio-economic and behavioural status enjoyed by Indigenous people who experienced removal from their natural families does not improve their health status compared to those who did not experience any removal. Policies to address the trauma and grief associated with past policies of removal are needed if the gap in health status between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians is to be closed.

Overview The program of research presented in this thesis was designed to increase understanding of the central issues related to Indigenous peoples’ hospitalisation experiences. Emphasis was given to Indigenous peoples’ cardiovascular health care. This area was chosen because cardiovascular disease has been described as one of the major contributors to the health disparity between Indigenous and non-indigenous peoples in Australia. This was of interest to me because the main study setting is a cardiothoracic hospital. This hospital is the largest referral centre for cardiac conditions in Queensland, surrounding states, and neighbouring countries, including Papua New Guinea. This program of research comprised four studies. The first study, a metasynthesis, was undertaken to gather a worldwide perspective of Indigenous peoples’ experiences of acute care. In the second study, a narrative inquiry was undertaken. It focused on Indigenous Australians’ experiences of acute cardiac care. The third study was a systematic review. It adopted a broader perspective to investigate the effectiveness of Australian Indigenous cardiovascular health programs. The final study, an autoethnography, utilised reflective inquiry to examine issues related to researching with Indigenous people. Background There are many explanations given to explicate sources of health disparities for Indigenous people. Most of the factors have their roots in past colonialism and its policies. Past practices by former Australian governments devalued the Indigenous culture, tortured individuals both physically and psychologically, and effectively marginalised the Indigenous population. Indigenous people still experience elements of tacit and overt discriminatory practices within the healthcare system. A range of cultural and Indigenous-specific factors also impact Indigenous health in a negative way. As a result, Australian Indigenous people encounter noteworthy health inequalities when compared to non-Indigenous Australians. In recognition and response to this disparity in health status, the Australian government launched a “Close the Gap” campaign in 2008. The campaign attempts to narrow the health differences and life expectancy, while also considering other factors that impact Indigenous health such as education and employment opportunities. Coming to hospital is a challenge for most Indigenous Australians. In Australia, Indigenous people are often geographically isolated in scattered settlements, and living in relatively small communities, leading to fragmented services and support for health and social programs. They are isolated both geographically and culturally when they come to hospital. In most cases, they have to relocate in order to access the services they need. This experience can be overwhelming due to the different culture of hospital practices and world views of healthcare professionals, who are mainly from westernised backgrounds. In most healthcare settings, Indigenous peoples’ culture and views of health have not been integrated into mainstream health. In a way, Indigenous people are forced to leave their way of life at home and adapt to western culture when hospitalised. This can cause discomfort for Indigenous people in many ways. As a result, some avoid accessing health services even when such services are needed and are available to them. A few aspects of Indigenous culture may be presented in hospital settings but usually at tokenistic or symbolic levels. This includes items such as flags at the front of the hospital and Indigenous paintings on display. Health professionals’ attitudes, as well as the hospital policies that guide their practice, do not usually accommodate Indigenous values into practice. Bedside manners and ward practices have remained the same for many years – fashioned and practiced in the ways of the dominant culture. In Australia, cardiovascular disease is known to constitute one of the major single causes of ill health and death for Indigenous peoples. As a result, it contributes significantly to life expectancy differentials between this population and other Australians. Indigenous Australians suffer major gaps in health status even when compared with other Indigenous peoples in other first-class nations. This includes Indigenous peoples from Canada, New Zealand and the United States of America. Health practitioners, therefore, need to be aware and proactively act on the underlying causes of poor health outcomes among Indigenous people. Methods Four studies were conducted over the period of this program of research using qualitative and quantitative research methods. The first study was a metasynthesis of qualitative research studies. Its aim was to investigate current evidence of Indigenous peoples’ hospital experiences in order to summarise current knowledge. Systematic procedures were employed to retrieve studies from the period between 2000 to 2016. The review process was conducted following Joanna Briggs Institute (2014) guidelines for conducting systematic review and synthesis of qualitative data. The second study utilised narrative inquiry, a qualitative methodology in which face to face interviews were used to enable participants to recount their experiences of hospitalisation. Narrative inquiry was selected specifically because it involves storytelling, which is culturally familiar to Indigenous people. The aim was to explore Indigenous peoples’ experiences of hospitalisation of acute cardiac care. To accomplish this, data were collected using a purposeful sample of Indigenous cardiac participants: all Indigenous patient participants had been hospitalised for acute cardiac care. The third study was a systematic review. Its aim was to investigate the effectiveness of cardiovascular health care programs designed for Indigenous Australians. Analysis of the strategies that were used to achieve successful outcomes was conducted. Studies that used experimental designs and reported interventions or programs explicitly aimed at improving Indigenous cardiovascular health were considered for inclusion. The search period was between 2008 to 2017. The fourth study was an autoethnography. This study involved use of personal diary-based data and reflective inquiry to present a researcher perspective of the experience of conducting research with Indigenous people. The aim was to share the experience to inform others of aspects for consideration when conducting research with Indigenous participants. The purpose was to offer a true picture of conducting research from my perspective. The study enabled examination of the interplay of my personal, social, professional life and how these impact on my clinical and research practice. Findings The metasynthesis revealed that overall, Indigenous peoples, worldwide, have remained in a disadvantaged position when it comes to their health and wellbeing. Several factors were identified that contribute to widespread inequality in Indigenous healthcare. It was increasingly clear that current healthcare systems are not effectively working well in addressing Indigenous peoples’ health needs. The findings of the narrative inquiry indicated that three themes characterised Indigenous peoples’ experiences of hospitalisation which were as follows: the impact of the past, reality of the present, and anticipating the future in Australia. Hospitalisation remains a challenge for Indigenous peoples. This is due to a sense of dislocation and lack of cultural and spiritual aspects to care, as well as the persisting poor relational interactions encountered. Quantitative research studies that implemented interventions targeted for management of cardiac conditions among Indigenous population within Australia were included in the systematic review. The results revealed that there were limited published studies targeted specifically towards Indigenous Australians’ cardiac health improvement. However, positive outcomes were reported in terms of achieving clinical targets. Physical aspects such as blood pressure reduction, exercise attendance, and enhancing cardiac health knowledge in biomedical interventions for the Indigenous communities were the main focus. The autoethnography revealed that with adequate preparation and involvement of Indigenous people the research process can be made easier. Again, because of past experiences which have led Indigenous people to be over researched with little feedback to them; researching this population group is challenging. Most researchers in the past have conducted research that has not effectively benefited the community. In some cases, research outcomes have misrepresented participants through use of methodologies that are not appropriate for Indigenous peoples. It is not unusual for Indigenous peoples to view the word “research” as a “dirty” word that brings uncomfortable feelings. In some instances, Indigenous participants have not seen its benefits of the research or understood the outcomes. Conclusions In summary, the program of research appraised current evidence. Further, it presented new knowledge that can inform and support practitioners in their quest to progress Indigenous peoples’ healthiness and welfare. Highlighting issues from Indigenous peoples ’perspectives can facilitate development of a better understanding of issues that impact their experiences with healthcare institutions. Such revelations can help in the identification of limitations faced by health professionals or constraints they encounter in the delivery of healthcare among Indigenous people. This could assist in revealing issues that are barriers to being effective in designing and implementing effective strategies to improve Indigenous health and wellbeing. Further research is warranted to follow up on the issues identified in this research.

BACKGROUND: Indigenous populations in the United States (US) experience worse health outcomes and higher disease prevalence compared to the US all race population. The World Health Organization (WHO), Canadian research on Indigenous-specific determinants, the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development, and the Native Nation's Institute have all identified governance as a determinant that impacts community health and development. This dissertation explored the active and potential role of Indigenous nations' governance, since the Native nation building era commenced in the 1970s, in protecting and promoting family and community health. OBJECTIVES: The dissertation aims were to: (1) describe the state of population data for US Indigenous nations and benefits of engaging with data, data sovereignty, and data governance for US Indigenous nations, (2) outline the history and current state of tribal public health relative to other US public health systems, and (3) elucidate the assumptions and applicability of the social determinants of health framework to Indigenous health contexts. METHODS: This mixed-methods study integrated retrospective quantitative and primary quantitative and qualitative data from case studies with six reservation-based American Indian tribes with qualitative data collected in a focus group and two consensus panels of public health practitioners and scholars. RESULTS: The results by aim were: (1) self-determination with regard to health and other population data offers Indigenous nations opportunities to create and access relevant and reliable data to inform policy and resource allocations, (2) the federal government and others have not invested in tribal public health authority infrastructures in ways similar to investments made in federal, state, and local public health authorities, resulting in tribal public health systems falling below other public health authorities in function and capacity, and (3) underlying Euro-Centric assumptions imbedded in the social determinants of health framework reduce its applicability in Indigenous health contexts. CONCLUSIONS: This study contributes to understanding the roles of Indigenous nation self-determination and sovereignty in defining health to align with Indigenous philosophies of wellness. Guided by Indigenous-specific determinants of health, tribes can set community-based, culture-informed methods and metrics for establishing, monitoring, and assessing public health policies and programs to support healthy communities and families. RECOMMENDATIONS: Indigenous nations, in partnership with researchers and other governments as appropriate, should develop framework(s) for tribal health that include broad, shared, and nation-specific definitions of health, healthy families and communities, and health determinants. Federal, state, and local governments should partner with Indigenous nations to improve tribal public health infrastructures and to support tribal data sovereignty and data governance through building tribal data capacity, aligning data with tribal self-conceptions, and forming data sharing agreements.

The television media is a powerful tool in forming and influencing the general public on various issues and opinions. It has the potential to change and create a positive or negative effect on the peoples view of the world and the environment they live in. When positively viewed media can create an environment conducive to change. However, negative views will have the far reached outcomes unprecedented in many cases and time. The negative view can be a problem when the media, in particular television starts to create a negative portrayal of a particular group. The purpose of this Thesis is to investigate whether television reporting of Indigenous issues and peoples have an effect on their quality of life and in particular health. The methodology used in this Thesis is of a qualitative nature, which consisted of a series of interviews and literature reviews. The findings indicate that media, and in particular television have a negative view of Indigenous issues and portray the Indigenous people negatively. Such negative portrayals have adverse effects on the quality of life, in particular health, of Indigenous people and their communities. It is recommended that necessary Code of Practice to be developed by the relevant government agencies in partnership with the Indigenous communities, to make sure that the programmes are free from misused information on disadvantaged groups and in particular Indigenous peoples. Furthermore an Affirmative Action for employment of the Indigenous workers in media will go a long way to improve the current portrayals of the Indigenous Australians.

Women are central to Primary Health Care strategies because of their social reproductive roles as family health carers, the health implications of biological reproduction, and the focus on family planning within related services. Such factors ensure that women have a close relationship with health policy and institutions. This thesis analyses the negotiation of differing paradigms of health and reproduction by indigenous women in the community of Amatenango del Valle in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas in relation to their ethnic and gender identities and to the context of social, economic and political marginalisation. The analysis reflects upon the divergence and convergence between this negotiation and the formulation of policy and service provision. The conceptual framework of pluralism and subjectivity is applied both to understandings of "Western" and "traditional" health paradigms as fluid and intersecting, rather than fixed and oppositional, as well as to the multiple and unfixed nature of indigenous women's identities. Concepts of pluralistic health and hybridity drawn from post-colonial and postmodern feminist theories allow space for envisioning women's agency to negotiate different health services and reproductive decisions, albeit in ways strongly mediated by the context of poverty and marginalisation. The discussion of policy formulation and the case study data reveal how pluralism is often accommodated at the level of the individual, rather than being recognised in policy and provision of services. The findings also illustrate how the historical and contemporary marginalisation of indigenous peoples affects the health status of women and their families and their utilisation of services, including family planning services. The thesis concludes that learning from the ways in which women negotiate services, particularly those multiplistic services of traditional providers, could result in the formulation of policy and the implementation of programmes which more effectively meet health and reproductive needs and better respect cultural diversity.

This thesis details how the current health system consistently fails to incorporate Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing. Using the Intervention Level Framework and the 3Es (enact, embed, and enable), the thesis demonstrates the ongoing coloniality and systemic racism of Indigenous public health policymaking and health systems in Australia. The research cogently demonstrates the need for greater self-determination and control of Indigenous affairs by Indigenous people, the necessity of privileging Indigenous voices, and Indigenous control, direction, and co-design a public policy-making, and the requirement to disrupt, deconstruct and decolonise Western knowledges and cultures of ways of being knowing and doing in order to move beyond colonial imperialist traumatic approaches to Indigenous public health policy which continue to this day. The research provides identifiable and concrete leverage points in the system which can be used to transform those racialized rules and norms to achieve sustainable transformational systemic, organisational and individual change such as legislation, statutory bodies and government commitments underpinned by the need to overcome deep-seated resistance to changing status quo mindsets and beliefs in order to address Indigenous oppression and disadvantage and implement Indigenous culture once it has been incorporated into a public policy. The findings fundamentally call for a turning away from white possessive logics and willingness to deeply listen with an open heart and open mind in genuine partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people so as to decolonise and Indigenise health systems and policy-making, including non-Indigenous people and governments being held to account and relinquishing power and control over Indigenous affairs in favour of localised place-based community-led approaches based on relatedness, connectivity, respect, reciprocity, reverence and responsibility.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe the ways in which Orìsà priests and their clients conceptualize issues and concerns described by Western based approaches as mental health problems. The two research questions guiding this inquiry included: (a) how do Orìsà priests and their clients conceptualize issues and concerns associated with mental health problems in Western psychology and (b) what methods and techniques do Orìsà priests and their clients use to address issues or concerns associated with mental health problems in Western psychology? This study was grounded in African-centered theory by providing a cultural lens to guide the research design, data collection, and analysis. Data were collected during semi-structured individual interviews with four Orisa priests in a three phase model, for a total of 12 interviews. The study also included three focus groups (six informants per group), who did not participate in the individual interviews. Each group met for two sessions, for a total of six focus groups. Bracketing of assumptions by research team members and use of a reflexive journal was used to ensure credibility and dependability of the data (Creswell, 1998). Data analysis consisted of a recursive process divided into multiple steps, to help strengthen methodological rigor and verification of study procedures. The three part process included codebook development, code application, and data analysis. Three major themes emerged from the data. The first theme, The Conceptualization of Mental Health Problems as Spiritual Matters included one subtheme, Transgenerational Transmission. The second theme, Origins of Mental Health Problems, included three subthemes (Western Socialization, Spiritual Forces, and Ifa as a Healing System). The final theme, Addressing Mental Health Problems, included three subthemes (The Divination Process, Referrals, and Western Therapy). Results of this study indicate that respondents primarily conceptualize mental health problems as spiritual matters and seek to address these problems with the help of an Orìsà priest. In addition, some respondents sought the services of a Western trained therapist for the same issue. Practice and research implications are discussed.

Resumo:

Considering the changes the Lake Atitlan, Guatemala region has undergone in the last several years, ODIM (Organization for the Development of the Indigenous Maya) seeks to understand the needs of the San Juan La Laguna and San Pablo La Laguna communities, and to provide competent, culturally-aligned care that is affordable to the Indigenous Maya of this region. Using mixed-methods approaches that incorporate interviews, surveys, graphic anthropology, and evaluation methods, this study investigated (1) the formal and informal health care services (including those offered by ODIM) and how and why they are utilized by local Guatemalans, (2) Guatemalan perceptions and experiences of health, wellbeing, and illness to understand how they might influence health related behavior, and (3) community health care needs and how ODIM can fill those needs. These objectives served to inform key stakeholders of current gaps in healthcare services, provide feedback regarding the ODIM health services and programs, and provide insight into the current health needs in order to ameliorate the burden of disease and illness around Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. This study produced a comprehensive community health profile, and it discusses the current state of health care, explains the local perspectives of health care, and gives direct feedback and recommendations to ODIM's community health programs.

Resumo:

Indigenous peoples have experienced heightened vulnerability during the COVID-19 pandemic and face disproportionately high COVID-19 mortality. To better address these vulnerabilities, it is critical to adapt COVID-19 programmes to the particular needs of indigenous peoples, as articulated by indigenous voices. It is also vital to link up with responses already ongoing and led by indigenous peoples to mitigate this crisis. This SSHAP brief discusses key considerations for COVID-19 response and recovery, with a particular focus on the Amazon region of South America. The considerations in this brief are drawn from a review of evidence and insights provided by indigenous leaders and researchers from several different continents. The considerations are rooted in key principles for indigenous community engagement, as articulated by indigenous peoples and organisations. This brief may be of interest to health and development policymakers and practitioners working in indigenous communities and territories and can be read in conjunction with the SSHAP background report on ‘Indigenous Peoples and COVID-19.’

This report examines the following two questions: 1) do income-based differences in health and health care outcomes look the same for children with and without autism? and 2) do income-based differences in health and health care outcomes look the same for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) children with autism and white children with autism? Examining the health and healthcare outcomes of children with autism in combination with other social characteristics offers several advantages. First, we can illuminate how demographics alone, and in combination with other social characteristics of children, are associated with differences in the rates of health and healthcare outcomes they experience. Second, it increases our understanding of the health-related experiences of social groups who are often neglected in research. Third, it provides current and comprehensive evidence on how children with autism experience relative disadvantages related to social determinants of health, which are aspects of the environment that affect health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.

This paper evaluates the impact of rural roads improvement works to benefit indigenous communities in the highlands of Ecuador, largely dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods. The findings suggest that the program had a positive impact on health and that it increased enrollment in secondary education. We find no evidence that treated households increased their investment in plot improvements and agricultural inputs. However, household members are more likely to report self-employment in agriculture as their main occupation. The effect on agricultural output and sales was positive but not statistically significant. Finally, there is no evidence that the program had any positive effect on overall household income, female empowerment and food security.

Texto completo da fonte

Resumo:

The value of yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) exports from Paraguay has recently increased dramatically. Much of this growth is due to positioning of the good within the universe of products where consumption growth is driven by perceptions of sustainable production and health benefits to consumers--that is, credence attributes creating a new dimension of demand. Credence claims for yerba mate's benefits to indigenous producing communities, environmental sustainability under certain production processes, healthful alternatives to energy drinks, are now widely known, but the growth of this awareness came via a new entrepreneurial strategy of a single firm. This case study explores the determinants of growth of credence-based exports of yerba mate from Paraguay, potential for increased growth, and the fragility of the credence-based model.

Texto completo da fonte

Resumo:

Civil society can be broadly defined as the area outside the family, market and state. As such, civil society encompasses a spectrum of actors with a wide range of purposes, constituencies, structures, degrees of organisation, functions, size, resource levels, cultural contexts, ideologies, membership, geographical coverage, strategies and approaches.This rapid literature review collates available literature on funding mechanisms and barriers to local CSOs gaining access to funding and the extent to which funding leads towards organisational development and sustainability. Broadly, it is asserted that in terms of funding, local CSOs often struggle to secure funding equivalent to that of INGOs and their local representatives. Kleibl & Munck (2017) reflect that indigenous non-state actors do not receive large shares of development funding. For example, only 10% of the total funding for US-funded health projects in Uganda was allocated to indigenous non-state actors.Given the diversity of CSOs and the variety of contexts, sectors they work in and the services they supply, it is challenging to summarise funding mechanisms available to local CSOs and the barriers to accessing these. Recent analyses of CSO funding report that while the total CSO funding in many contexts has continued to increase in absolute terms since 2015, its relative importance (as a share of total Overseas Development Assistance) has been decreasing (Verbrugge and Huyse, 2018). They continued that ODA funding channelled through CSOs (i.e., funding that is programmed by the donor government) remains far more important in volumes than ODA channelled directly to CSOs (which is programmed by CSOs themselves).The literature identifies three principal mechanisms by which donors provide financial support to civil society actors: a) Direct support to individual or umbrella organisations; b) Via Southern government; c) Via Intermediaries – largely Northern NGOs.

Background An estimated 292 million people are living with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection globally, including 223,000 people in Australia. HBV diagnosis and linkage of people living with HBV to clinical care is suboptimal in Australia, with 27% of people living with HBV undiagnosed and 77% not receiving regular HBV clinical care. This systematic review aimed to characterize population-level interventions implemented to enhance all components of HBV care cascade and analyse the effectiveness of interventions. Review questions Question 1: What population-level interventions, programs or policy approaches have been shown to be effective in reducing the incidence of hepatitis B; and that may not yet be fully rolled out or evaluated in Australia demonstrate early effectiveness, or promise, in reducing the incidence of hepatitis B? Question 2: What population-level interventions and/or programs are effective at reducing disease burden for people in the community with hepatitis B? Methods Four bibliographic databases and 21 grey literature sources were searched. Studies were eligible for inclusion if the study population included people with or at risk of chronic HBV, and the study conducted a population-level interventions to decrease HBV incidence or disease burden or to enhance any components of HBV care cascade (i.e., diagnosis, linkage to care, treatment initiation, adherence to clinical care), or HBV vaccination coverage. Studies published in the past 10 years (since January 2012), with or without comparison groups were eligible for inclusion. Studies conducting an HBV screening intervention were eligible if they reported proportion of people participating in screening, proportion of newly diagnosed HBV (participant was unaware of their HBV status), proportion of people received HBV vaccination following screening, or proportion of participants diagnosed with chronic HBV infection who were linked to HBV clinical care. Studies were excluded if study population was less than 20 participants, intervention included a pharmaceutical intervention or a hospital-based intervention, or study was implemented in limited clinical services. The records were initially screened by title and abstract. The full texts of potentially eligible records were reviewed, and eligible studies were selected for inclusion. For each study included in analysis, the study outcome and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) were calculated. For studies including a comparison group, odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95%CIs were calculated. Random effect meta-analysis models were used to calculate the pooled study outcome estimates. Stratified analyses were conducted by study setting, study population, and intervention-specific characteristics. Key findings A total of 61 studies were included in the analysis. A large majority of studies (study n=48, 79%) included single-arm studies with no concurrent control, with seven (12%) randomised controlled trials, and six (10%) non-randomised controlled studies. A total of 109 interventions were evaluated in 61 included studies. On-site or outreach HBV screening and linkage to HBV clinical care coordination were the most frequent interventions, conducted in 27 and 26 studies, respectively. Question 1 We found no studies reporting HBV incidence as the study outcome. One study conducted in remote area demonstrated that an intervention including education of pregnant women and training village health volunteers enhanced coverage of HBV birth dose vaccination (93% post-intervention, vs. 81% pre-intervention), but no data of HBV incidence among infants were reported. Question 2 Study outcomes most relevant to the HBV burden for people in the community with HBV included, HBV diagnosis, linkage to HBV care, and HBV vaccination coverage. Among randomised controlled trials aimed at enhancing HBV screening, a meta-analysis was conducted including three studies which implemented an intervention including community face-to-face education focused on HBV and/or liver cancer among migrants from high HBV prevalence areas. This analysis demonstrated a significantly higher HBV testing uptake in intervention groups with the likelihood of HBV testing 3.6 times higher among those participating in education programs compared to the control groups (OR: 3.62, 95% CI 2.72, 4.88). In another analysis, including 25 studies evaluating an intervention to enhance HBV screening, a pooled estimate of 66% of participants received HBV testing following the study intervention (95%CI: 58-75%), with high heterogeneity across studies (range: 17-98%; I-square: 99.9%). A stratified analysis by HBV screening strategy demonstrated that in the studies providing participants with on-site HBV testing, the proportion receiving HBV testing (80%, 95%CI: 72-87%) was significantly higher compared to the studies referring participants to an external site for HBV testing (54%, 95%CI: 37-71%). In the studies implementing an intervention to enhance linkage of people diagnosed with HBV infection to clinical care, the interventions included different components and varied across studies. The most common component was post-test counselling followed by assistance with scheduling clinical appointments, conducted in 52% and 38% of the studies, respectively. In meta-analysis, a pooled estimate of 73% of people with HBV infection were linked to HBV clinical care (95%CI: 64-81%), with high heterogeneity across studies (range: 28-100%; I-square: 99.2%). A stratified analysis by study population demonstrated that in the studies among general population in high prevalence countries, 94% of people (95%CI: 88-100%) who received the study intervention were linked to care, significantly higher than 72% (95%CI: 61-83%) in studies among migrants from high prevalence area living in a country with low prevalence. In 19 studies, HBV vaccination uptake was assessed after an intervention, among which one study assessed birth dose vaccination among infants, one study assessed vaccination in elementary school children and 17 studies assessed vaccination in adults. Among studies assessing adult vaccination, a pooled estimate of 38% (95%CI: 21-56%) of people initiated vaccination, with high heterogeneity across studies (range: 0.5-93%; I square: 99.9%). A stratified analysis by HBV vaccination strategy demonstrated that in the studies providing on-site vaccination, the uptake was 78% (95%CI: 62-94%), significantly higher compared to 27% (95%CI: 13-42%) in studies referring participants to an external site for vaccination. Conclusion This systematic review identified a wide variety of interventions, mostly multi-component interventions, to enhance HBV screening, linkage to HBV clinical care, and HBV vaccination coverage. High heterogeneity was observed in effectiveness of interventions in all three domains of screening, linkage to care, and vaccination. Strategies identified to boost the effectiveness of interventions included providing on-site HBV testing and vaccination (versus referral for testing and vaccination) and including community education focussed on HBV or liver cancer in an HBV screening program. Further studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of more novel interventions (e.g., point of care testing) and interventions specifically including Indigenous populations, people who inject drugs, men who have sex with men, and people incarcerated.

How can we make religious equality a reality for those on the margins of society and politics? This book is about the individual and collective struggles of the religiously marginalised to be recognised and their inequalities, religious or otherwise, redressed. It is also about the efforts of civil society, governments, multilateral actors, and scholars to promote freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) whatever shape they take. The actors and contexts that feature in this book are as diverse as health workers in Israel, local education authorities in Nigeria, indigenous movements in India, Uganda, or South Africa, and multilateral actors such as the Islamic Development Bank in Sudan and the World Bank in Pakistan. Some of the case studies engage with development discourses and narratives or are undertaken by development actors, while other cases operate completely outside the international development paradigm. These case studies present some important insights, which while highly relevant for their contexts also draw out important insights for academics, practitioners, activists, and others who have an interest in redressing religious inequalities for socioeconomically marginalised populations.

The Ngā Wai a Te Tūī – Hiringa Hauora Summer Research Mentorship is a kaupapa Māori collaboration to increase hauora Māori (Māori wellbeing) research capacity. The idea of research internships is not new, nor is a focus on hauora Māori. What is distinctive about this summer mentorship is its kaupapa Māori approach to support a diverse range of Māori into research that is by Māori, for Māori, and holds Māori values, beliefs and aspirations at its centre. Holding fast to our ways of being throughout the programme has produced a set of learnings and experiences amongst six ‘interns’ that we suggest offers a useful example of how to grow kaupapa Māori research in the hauora space, and beyond. Like many great Māori ideas, this mentorship programme was enabled through whanaungatanga (relationships) – in this case an email from one colleague to another that went something like, “Hey mete I have an idea I want to run past you.” A senior researcher at Te Hiringa Hauora, an evidence-based health-promotions organisation, approached her colleague, co-author Hinekura Smith, a senior lecturer and researcher at Unitec’s Ngā Wai a Te Tūī Māori and Indigenous Research Centre, with a funding opportunity to develop and facilitate a summer internship programme.
