Getting better at chronic care in rural indigenous communities dataset
Published:
27 February 2018
The life expectancy gap for Indigenous people in Australia is 13-17 years and most of this gap is due to preventable chronic disease (diabetes, heart, lung and renal problems) in adults. Once people have these conditions diagnosed, many complications can be prevented with good primary-level chronic care.
This dataset contains data resulting from the project that trialled an intervention of intensive chronic care management delivered by Indigenous health workers to Indigenous adults with diabetes in 12 rural communities in North Queensland.
