Setting: Three Indigenous primary healthcare (PHC) centres in the Northern Territory, Australia; project coordinating centre distributed between Townsville, Darwin and Cairns and the broader LFTB learning community across Australia. Participants: LFTB research team and one representative from each PHC centre. Primary and secondary outcome measures: Impact reported as (1) quantitative metrics within domains of benefit using a modified Payback Framework, (2) a cost-consequence analysis given a return on investment was not appropriate and (3) a narrative incorporating qualitative evidence of impact. Data were gathered through in-depth stakeholder interviews and a review of project documentation, outputs and relevant websites. Results: LFTB contributed to knowledge advancement in Indigenous PHC service delivery; enhanced existing capacity of health centre staff, researchers and health service users; enhanced supportive networks for quality improvement; and used a strengths-based approach highly valued by health centres. LFTB also leveraged between $A1.4 and $A1.6 million for the subsequent Leveraging Effective Ambulatory Practice (LEAP) Project to apply LFTB learnings to resource development and creation of a learning community to empower striving PHC centres. Conclusion: Retrospective application of FAIT to LFTB, although not ideal, was feasible. Prospective application would have allowed Indigenous community perspectives to be included. Greater appreciation of the full benefit of LFTB including a measure of return on investment will be possible when LEAP is complete. Future assessments of impact need to account for the limitations of fully capturing impact when intermediate/final impacts have not yet been realised and captured.]]> Wed 28 Sep 2022 14:52:07 AEST ]]> Developing Pictorial Conceptual Metaphors as a means of understanding and changing the Australian Health System for Indigenous People https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26009 Wed 17 Jul 2019 12:37:12 AEST ]]> Tailoring a response to youth binge drinking in an Aboriginal Australian community: a grounded theory study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14758 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:48:57 AEST ]]> Empowering families by engaging and relating Murri way: A grounded theory study of the implementation of the Cape York Baby Basket program https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28399 empowering families through a process of engaging and relating Murri (Queensland Indigenous) way. Key influencing conditions of the social environment were the remoteness of communities, keeping up with demand, families' knowledge, skills and roles and organisational service approaches and capacities. Engaging and relating Murri way occurred through four strategies: connecting through practical support, creating a culturally safe practice, becoming informed and informing others, and linking at the clinic. These strategies resulted in women and families taking responsibility for health through making healthy choices, becoming empowered health consumers and advocating for community changes. Conclusions: The theoretical model was applied to improve and revise Baby Basket program implementation, including increased recognition of the importance of empowering families by extending the home visiting approach up to the child's third birthday. Engaging and relating Murri way was strengthened by formal recognition and training of Indigenous health workers as program leaders. This theoretical model of program implementation was therefore useful for guiding program improvements, and could be applicable to other Indigenous maternal and child health programs.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:48:10 AEST ]]> Scope and quality of economic evaluations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health programs: a systematic review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52759 Thu 26 Oct 2023 12:40:35 AEDT ]]>
