We survey Indigenous health issues across the Pacific with a case study approach that focuses on Australia, New Zealand, Hawai'i, and US Associated Micronesia. For each case study, we provide an overview of the Indigenous population, its colonial history, and current health and social outcomes. In the discussion that follows, we flag some of the key policy initiatives that have been developed to address Indigenous health disadvantage, albeit within the context of continuing debates about Indigenous rights and policy.
我们采用案例研究方法,对太平洋地区的原住民健康问题进行了调查,重点关注澳大利亚、新西兰、夏威夷和美国密克罗尼西亚联邦。对于每个案例研究,我们概述了原住民人口、其殖民历史以及当前的健康和社会状况。在接下来的讨论中,我们指出了一些为解决原住民健康劣势而制定的关键政策举措,尽管这些举措是在关于原住民权利和政策的持续辩论背景下出台的。
