Control and empowerment in social determinants of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health

Research partner(s)
James Cook University

In this project, a 10-year collaborative Empowerment Research Program (ERP) was designed to assess the contribution of empowerment to addressing the social determinants of Indigenous health and wellbeing using two Indigenous-instigated community empowerment initiatives: Men's Support Groups, and a 50-hour Family Wellbeing (FWB) empowerment education program. The ERP represents one of the few attempts to systematically understand the nature of empowerment from the point of view of Indigenous-developed activities that aim to empower.
