| Information about your thesis |
This is qualitative study of senior policy makers in the fields of Aboriginal health policy and housing policy. It is seeking to identify structures and processes that do (or would) increase the power of minority populations to engage in the formulation and implementation of public policy, and hence, to contribute to reducing unjust inequalities in health outcomes that have persisted in Australia for generations. |
