Closing the Divide: Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander People and Cancer Survivorship

该项目将通过解决目前关于昆士兰州土著癌症患者未得到满足的支持需求的知识差距，为土著健康研究做出重大贡献。这项研究还将调查现有的癌症支持性护理是否足以满足土著患者的需要，以及土著患者导航员如何解决获得现有护理的障碍。本土研究能力建设是该项目的一个重要内容。

This project will significantly contribute to Indigenous health research through addressing the current knowledge gap about the unmet support needs of Indigenous cancer patients in Queensland. This study will also investigate if the existing cancer supportive care is adequate for Indigenous patients and how an indigenious patient navigator will adress the barriers to accessing existing care. Indigenous research capacity building is a strong element of this project.
