Rheumatic fever is a serious preventable disease causing premature illness and death, yet unacceptably high rates occur in Australian Indigenous communities. Prevention can be achieved with regular penicillin injections, but there are many barriers, so people needing this treatment frequently miss doses. This program proposes to close the evidence-practice gap by forming effective partnerships to effectively roll out rheumatic fever prevention strategies in clinics across the Northern Territory.

风湿热是一种严重的可预防的疾病，会导致过早患病和死亡，但澳大利亚土著社区的发病率高得令人无法接受。预防可以通过定期注射青霉素来实现，但有很多障碍，所以需要这种治疗的人经常错过剂量。这项计划建议通过建立有效的合作伙伴关系，在整个北领地的诊所有效地推出风湿热预防战略，来缩小证据和实践之间的差距。
