GENERATING FINE-GRAINED EVIDENCE TO DRIVE INDIGENOUS HEALTH POLICY [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Katherine Thurber (Principal investigator)

Brief description Improving Indigenous health is an Australian priority. This Fellowship will capitalise on a novel whole-of-population data resource (Census linked to mortality data) to improve the evidence base underpinning Indigenous health policy. It will generate a deeper understanding about health and inequalities in Australia, and the role of the social environment. It will generate policy-relevant evidence identifying targets for intervention to improve Indigenous health and promote equality.
