Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) affects many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Early detection using an ultrasound of the heart (called an “echo”) can help children access treatment. Echo screening in remote communities needs active community participation and leadership in order to succeed. I will study new approaches to community-led echo screening to see if they are accurate enough, evaluate the impact of community involvement and describe outcomes for those diagnosed with RHD.

风湿性心脏病（RHD）影响着许多原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民。使用心脏超声（称为“回声”）的早期检测可以帮助儿童获得治疗。偏远社区的回声筛查需要积极的社区参与和领导才能取得成功。我将研究社区主导的回声筛查的新方法，看看它们是否足够准确，评估社区参与的影响，并描述诊断为RHD的患者的结果。
