To begin to address these questions, this webinar aims to inform ASA members on the current advances in sleep health service delivery in First Nations people and ways in which we can improve modes of delivery, based on community consultation.
The speakers will include researchers from the current Lets Yarn About Sleep project, led by Associate Professor Fatima Yaqoot and pilot studies of community-based, simplified models of care led by Associate Professor Ching Li Chai-Coetzer. Specifically, the webinar will present information on 1) sleep health from a First Nations perspective and 2) the development of programs run in consultation with First Nations community members. These programs aim to upskill local Aboriginal health workers and trial new models of care to improve the diagnosis and treatment of OSA and other sleep health conditions. Further, case studies will also be presented as examples of how to manage patients using both traditional ways of knowing and sleep science.
