Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Sexual Health Promotion Initiatives in NSW

Abstract

This report is a description of Aboriginal sexual health in NSW as seen by the workers themselves. It also incorporates current understandings of sexual health promotion, especially those in the National Indigenous Australians' Sexual Health Strategy 1996/97-1998/99 (NIASH), and the National HIV/AIDS Strategy 1996-97/ 1998-99 (NHS). The workers discussed and reflected upon their everyday experiences of sexual health program delivery, selecting particular health promotion initiatives and resources to illustrate what programs they believed to be effective and why. The report thus builds on sexual health workers' existing expertise
