"I thought I was going to die": creating a framework for the development and dissemination of culturally appropriate non-fatal strangulation preventative and educational resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Perth, WA

Research aims and objective:

The proposed project is a partnership between the Centre for Women’s Safety and Wellbeing and the Aboriginal Research Team at the National Drug Research Institute, Curtin University.

Through a series of community forums, the proposed project seeks to:

1. Engage Aboriginal stakeholders/service providers/consumers in discussions about NFS;
2. Identify through feedback from the community forums the most effective and appropriate means for developing and disseminating NFS educational and preventative resources to Aboriginal people;
3. Provide recommendations for the development of NFS educational and preventative resources targeting Aboriginal girls, women and men, and a framework for dissemination.
