“…The author of one study found that the lack of funding for these roles reflects the general tendency in Australian public health systems to disregard or oversimplify Indigenous cultural heterogeneity and associated needs, and that this is directly linked with poorer eye health outcomes. Placing Elders and Indigenous health service staff in authoritative cultural knowledge positions in renal and sexual health services has been found to foster cultural awareness in non‐Indigenous staff. However, because of the challenges discussed above, service providers should consider additional strategies for increasing cultural safety and community engagement in eye care.…”

Objectives To describe research into non‐clinical support eye health care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) Australians, the people who provide such care, and its impact on eye health outcomes. Study design Systematic review and qualitative analysis of peer‐reviewed research publications. Data sources Peer‐reviewed research articles published between January 2000 and July 2018 and included in MEDLINE/EMBASE, Web of Science, Informit, EBSCO (CINAHL and Anthropology Plus), or ProQuest Central. Study selection We included English language, peer‐reviewed articles reporting empirical data on non‐clinical support for eye health for Indigenous Australians. Two authors independently assessed the titles and abstracts of 1678 unique articles for inclusion in a full text review; the full texts of 104 publications were reviewed, of which 77 were excluded and 27 included in our qualitative analysis. Data synthesis Qualitative analysis identified five key areas of non‐clinical support for Indigenous eye health: coordination of eye care, integrating and linking services, cultural support, health promotion, and social and emotional support. People who provide non‐clinical support include eye health coordinators, Aboriginal Health Workers, primary care clinicians, family members, carers, and community‐based liaison workers. The availability of non‐clinical support is associated with increased patient attendance at eye care services, higher visual acuity examination and cataract surgery rates, broader eye health knowledge, and greater cultural responsivity. Conclusion Non‐clinical support is critical for facilitating attendance at appointments by patients and ensuring that preventive, primary, and tertiary eye care services are accessible to Indigenous Australians. Greater financial investment is needed to support key providers of non‐clinical support, especially eye health coordinators, community‐based liaison officers, and family members and carers.

“…Their shared history of colonisation, however, creates a common thread among many communities and peoples. Indigenous young women are consistently labelled by governments, media and research as one of the most 'vulnerable' groups of people, especially when it concerns sexual and reproductive health (Kelly 2004;Kelly and Luxford 2007). As Danforth (2013) highlights, however, vulnerability does not happen by accident and is not a pre-existing social location.…”

“…Strategies that do not speak to this structural violence against Indigenous peoples, and Indigenous women in particular, are ineffective in their lack of attention to both gendered and racialised power imbalances that inhere in the very fabric of the social system (Shannon et al 2008). For example, sexual health or HIV prevention strategies that focus on testing and condom use, but fail to provide culturally safe care, are unlikely to be effective and have the potential to increase harm rather than to heal (Kelly and Luxford 2007;Flicker et al 2013). Moreover, programmes, policies and research that focus solely on gender, without simultaneously looking at race and colonisation, are also inadequate (Crenshaw et al 1996;Smith 2003).…”

“…Poudrier and Kennedy (2008) show that health and healthy bodies are integrally connected to culture and communities. Indigenous efforts across the globe advocate the best way for Indigenous young people to improve health outcomes is to reconnect and re-engage with their cultures and their communities (Battiste and Youngblood Henderson 2000;Kelly and Luxford 2007). Indigenous communities across Canada have been surviving, resisting and reclaiming for hundreds of years.…”

‘Women are supposed to be the leaders’: intersections of gender, race and colonisation in HIV prevention with Indigenous young people

Focusing on gender, race and colonialism, this paper foregrounds the voices of Indigenous young people, their histories of oppression, their legacies of resistance and the continuing strengths rooted in Indigenous peoples, their cultures and their communities. Exploring the relationship between gender and colonialism, the paper speaks to the lived realities of young people from Indigenous communities across Canada. Over 85 young people participated in six different Indigenous community workshops to create artistic pieces that explored the connections between HIV, individual risk and structural inequalities. In the course of the research, Indigenous young people, and young Indigenous women in particular, talked about how gender intersects with race and colonisation to create experiences that are, at times, especially difficult for them. In this paper, young people discuss the ways in which colonialism has demeaned women's roles and degraded women's sexuality, and how continuing cultural erasure and assimilationist policies impact on their lives and on their bodies.

Social determinants in the sexual health of adolescent Aboriginal Australians: a systematic review

While research indicates that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adolescents may be at increased risk of some sexually transmitted infections, there is limited information about factors that may place these young people at more risk of adverse sexual health than their non‐Indigenous counterparts. Current research has tended to focus on surveillance‐type data, but there is an increasing need to understand social determinants of sexual health risk. This systematic review assessed the evidence of social determinants impacting on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adolescents’ sexual health in Australia. Published, English‐language literature was searched across key databases from 2003 to 2015. Fourteen studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. Findings suggest that social determinants such as access to healthcare, poverty, substance use, educational disadvantage, sociocultural context, gender inequalities, status and identity, and social disadvantage impacted on Indigenous adolescents’ sexual behaviours and sexual health risk. Evidence from the literature included in the review suggests that peer education may be an acceptable and appropriate approach for addressing such issues. There remains a need for programmes and services to be community‐developed and community‐led, thus ensuring cultural appropriateness and relevance. However, there is also a significant need for such programmes to be effectively and rigorously evaluated with data that goes beyond surveillance, and seeks to unpack how sexual norms are experienced by Indigenous adolescents, particularly outside of remote Australia – and how these experiences act as either risk or protective factors to good sexual health and positive social and emotional well‐being.
