It seeks to generate knowledge about Aboriginal girls’ experiences of and attitudes towards fighting, drinking and offending, and to identify intervention points and strategies for preventing the progress of behaviours that increase the potential for negative consequences among this group.</font></font></p><p><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>By interviewing Aboriginal girls between the ages of 10-18 years and empowering them to take a lead role in promoting health messages, the project will create a comprehensive picture of Aboriginal girls’ experiences. Findings will inform the development of a training package to improve service provider and community knowledge about issues facing the girls, and provide a framework to guide future health promotion initiatives targeting this group; the package will potentially be transferrable to other settings. It is intended that use of the training package will endure after the life of the project and result in continual improvements in the health status of Aboriginal girls.</font></font></p><p><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Objectives of project:</font></font><br /><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Focusing on Aboriginal girls and young women (10-18 years) in the Perth metropolitan area, objectives include to:</font></font></p><ol><li><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Collect data around girls’ experiences of and involvement in fighting, drinking and offending;</font></font></li><li><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Describe the contexts of fighting, consumption of alcohol and offending behaviours;</font></font></li><li><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Investigate girls’ motivations around and attitudes towards these behaviours;</font></font></li><li><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Document harms experienced as a result of involvement in fighting;</font></font></li><li><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Enhance the capacity of Aboriginal girls to take a lead role in developing and promoting health messages;</font></font></li><li><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Increase knowledge and capacity of health and other service providers to intervene early in potential negative pathways among Aboriginal girls; and,</font></font></li><li><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Evaluate the impact of the intervention developed as part of the project.</font></font></li></ol><p><strong><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Project contact</font></font></strong><br /><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Dr Mandy Wilson</font></font><br /><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Curtin University</font></font></p><p><strong><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Funding Body</font></font></strong><br /><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Healthway</font></font></p><p><strong><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Project start & End Dates</font></font></strong><br /><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>March 2015 – December 2018</font></font></p><p> </p> | en |
