Aims: To reduce the burden of bronchiectasis by preventing the progression of PBB to bronchiectasis in Aboriginal children.
Project description
In partnership with Aboriginal health services, Government agencies and communities, we will develop and implement evidence-based strategies to improve the detection and management of chronic wet cough in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. By bridging the gap between evidence and practice, we will reduce the chronic lung disease burden in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and precent the progression of disease into adulthood.
