Evaluation of Family WellBeing empowerment program: a follow-up study

虽然殖民化造成的相对弱势一直被认为是影响土著人健康的一个主要因素，但在土著人健康文献中很难找到经过测试和验证的赋权方案。目前的项目将对1998- 1999年在爱丽丝泉实施的增强家庭福祉能力培训课程进行后续评估。目的是查明参加培训班的学员在多大程度上能够维持最初中期评价时所显示的高度个人能力。除其他外，这项研究将提供有价值的见解和理解的途径和条件下，个人和群体可能使用个人赋权技能，特别是更好的分析和解决问题的技能，以实现更大的控制生活。

Although relative powerlessnes resulting from colonisation has long been recognised as a major factor shaping Indigenous health, it is difficult to find tested and validated empowerment programs in the Indigenous health literature. The current project will follow-up a previous evaluation of a Family WellBeing empowerment training course which was implemented in Alice Springs in 1998-9. The aim is to find out the extent to which course participants have been able to sustain the high levels of personal empowerment demonstrated at the time of the original evaluation on the medium-long term basis. Among other things, this study will provide valuable insights and understandings about the pathways and conditions under which individuals and groups of people might use personal empowerment skills, especially better analytical and problem-solving skills to achieve greater control in life.
