Health Promotion: in Aboriginal Communities

Part of the Series: Health Promotion Collection

A video from ECU's archive of documentaries and teaching films.

In this programme Dr Sherry Saggers, Senior Lecturer, Edith Cowan University, & co-author of 'Aboriginal Health in Society: The Traditional & Contemporary Aboriginal Struggle for Better Health', argues the case for contextualising poor Aboriginal health within the political economy of Australian Society. This well-illustrated programme condenses a wide range of issues into a useful teaching format covering: Aboriginal health before European contact; the effect of European contact on Aboriginal health; contemporary Aboriginal health status; and the role of health promotion in the improvement of Aboriginal health.
