In Our Own Backyard 2009

This project sought to explore how urban Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people feel about where they live and whether they think their neighbourhood and social networks influence their health and if so, in what ways. The project was conducted in different urban locations across Adelaide and aimed to inform the development of appropriate and culturally safe policies to promote healthy neighbourhoods for Indigenous communities.
