Strong community, strong health: Exploring opportunities for chronic disease prevention in the Torres Strait
- Indicative Funding
- $473,642 over 2 years
- Summary
- Despite a decrease in mortality rates from chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease since 2006, they still represent significant risk to the health and wellbeing of Australia?s First Nations peoples. This project will partner with First Nations people living in the Torres Strait to support their chronic disease outcomes by: 1) co-developing diet and physical activity (PA) tools; and 2) mapping social and environmental impacts on health in each partner community. This project will provide essential information about dietary and PA practices of people living in the Torres Strait.

ADAPTTS - App-Based Diet and Physical Activity Tools for the Torres Strait
- Indicative Funding
- $25,000 over 2 years
- Summary
- The aim of this project is to develop and validate dietary and physical activity assessment tools for use in the Torres Strait. Having culturally appropriate assessment tools embedded in primary health care services will facilitate appropriate identification and referral for at risk patients. This will promote best practice care in the region leading to better health outcomes and improved service delivery for the benefit of Torres Strait Islanders living in Far North Queensland. The project also is a collaboration between researchers at JCU Healthy Ageing Research Team (HART), clinical staff in TCHHS and local NGOs based in the Torres Strait.

Developing an appropriate depression screening tool for Aboriginal people living in Far North Queensland.
- Indicative Funding
- $10,000 over 1 year
- Summary
- Continuing impacts of colonialism negatively affects Indigenous peoples' health and health outcomes, including mental health. Mainstream tools used to screen for mental ill-health are often not fit for purpose because they use words that do not facilitate accurate reporting of symptoms for diagnosis. Additionally, adapted tools may not be adequately validated. The aim of the study is to develop an appropriate depression screening tool for Aboriginal people aged 18 and over living in Far North Queensland. This project will begin the adaptation process by identifying tools used and words used by Aboriginal people to express depression in clinical settings.
