Diabetes health in East Arnhem Land – from the feet up
Aboriginal and Islander Health Worker Journal
Abstract: After years of research being dominated by Western scientific models and ways of knowing, Indigenous knowledge production and translation is gaining increasing attention and recognition. As a consequence this has led to the development of Collaborative Centres of Indigenous Health Research such as the Lowitja Institute in Australia. It is believed that a sharing of knowledge between Indigenous and non-Inidgenous people will lead to a collborative, culturally appropriate approach to research that can achieve postive benefits to 'close the gap' in Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander health disparities.
