The commercial determinants of Indigenous health and well-being: a systematic scoping review
Discussion This review of 56 articles across 6 countries, highlights multiple examples of commercial industries contributing to Indigenous health and well-being. Our findings suggest that commercial activities such as exploitation of Indigenous land, marketing, lobbying and CSR strategies may be harming Indigenous health through environmental contamination, consumption of unhealthy products (eg, tobacco, alcohol, ultraprocessed foods, prescription drugs) and undermining cultural well-being.
Rather than focusing on the negative, we need a strength-based way to approach First Nations childrens' health
First Nations children represent the future of the world’s oldest continuing culture. Of the 66,000 Victorians who identified as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander in the 2021 Census, one-third were aged under 15 years. First Nations children in Victoria are doing well in several health outcomes, our recent report has found. This report provides valuable insight into nutrition, physical activity and wellbeing among First Nations children living in regional Victoria.
First Nations people in rural NSW lived with more anxiety and fear about COVID-19 than non-First Nations people
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government’s pandemic response struggled to include the country’s most minoritised groups, including First Nations people. Daily press conferences were broadcast, but the messages were not delivered or received equally across the country. Trust in the people delivering the messages and ability to follow health advice varies according to personal, social and cultural experiences.
Culturally Safe Engagement: What Matters to Indigenous (First Nations, Métis & Inuit) Patient Partners?
Cultural safety from patients' perspectives I wanted to share with my First Nations Australian mob, this information from the BC Patient Safety & Quality Council, which is about cultural safety from First Nations patients' perspectives (Link to webpage). It was pointed out to me by a Canadian academic, Dr. Zafran. Do yourself a favor and download the pamphlet and the companion guide. In Aboriginal Australian English, they are deadly (awesome). Thanks, BC Patient Safety & Quality Council.
