Asbestos-related disease in remote Aboriginal communities where asbestos mining has occurred over many decades is an under-recognised problem. In contrast to many occupationally-exposed groups, little is known or published on the burden of disease affecting these communities and health program responses based on good science are underdeveloped. This project will support two Aboriginal community-controlled primary health care services to: estimate the number of people affected in local communities; find the best way to diagnose and manage lung and asbestos disease and prevent complications; advocate for affected individuals, families and communities. Rather than the usual 'in-out' health survey, this research project will build the capacity of local communities and health service to implement and sustain holistic responses.

在几十年来一直进行石棉开采的偏远原住民社区，与石棉相关的疾病是一个未被充分认识的问题。与许多职业暴露群体相比，人们对影响这些社区的疾病负担知之甚少，也很少发表文章，而且基于良好科学的卫生计划应对措施也不够完善。该项目将支持两个原住民社区控制的初级卫生保健服务，以： 估计当地社区受影响的人数；找到诊断和治疗肺部和石棉疾病以及预防并发症的最佳方法；为受影响的个人、家庭和社区发声。该研究项目将建设当地社区和卫生服务机构实施和维持整体应对措施的能力，而不是通常的“由内而外”的健康调查。
