点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The largest component of Australia's aid budget is directed to PNG, a country shown to be highly vulnerable to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. This research will help Australia tackle the emerging AIDS crisis in PNG by contributing to strong preventative efforts and health promotion initiatives through the education sector. This project benefits Australia by developing HIV/AIDS education within the Health Promoting Teachers College, a model directly relevant to the education of teachers in multicultural and Indigenous settings. In terms of Australia's aid assistance, the project develops strategies for improved community health education and promotion services in PNG and other partner countries.
