Abstract

BACKGROUND

First Nations Australians have an internationally-recognised right to self-determination - a key social determinant of health. The recognition and application of this right varies within different regions and policy contexts but is currently unknown for First Nations Australians' engagement in alcohol policy development. This study seeks to: explore First Nations Australians' experiences of alcohol policy in Central Australia (Northern Territory); and identify how First Nations Australians' right to self-determination can be recognised and applied in the development of alcohol policy in Mbantua/Alice Springs.

METHODS

Using a blended yarning and appreciative inquiry approach, 24 interviews were conducted. Interviews were thematically coded in multiple stages, using diagrammatic methods.

RESULTS

Four key themes emerged: (i) experiences of purchasing alcohol; (ii)communication of the current alcohol policy; (iii) experiences of policy described by participants (and their community); and (iv) self-determination in alcohol policy.

CONCLUSIONS

Current pathways for contributing to alcohol policy have been ineffective in achieving meaningful engagement with Australia's First Nations community members. This study provides some guidance as to how self-determination can more effectively be incorporated in the development of alcohol policy in the NT.

摘要

背景

澳大利亚原住民拥有国际公认的自决权，这是健康的一个关键社会决定因素。这种权利在不同地区和政策背景下的承认和应用有所不同，但目前尚不清楚原住民在制定酒精政策方面的参与情况。本研究旨在：探讨澳大利亚中部原住民（北领地）的酒精政策经验；并确定在 Mbantua/爱丽丝泉制定酒精政策时如何承认和应用原住民的自决权。
