Evaluation of the Experiences and Health Needs of Aboriginal People affected by Imprisonment in South Australia

Michael Bentley

SACHRU is providing research support for the analysis of in-depth interviews and report writing components of this evaluation, being conducted by Nunkuwarrin Yunti. We are using an action-research-based evaluation approach, working closely with the cultural consultant and project manager at Nunkuwarrin Yunti in developing criteria to achieve rigour and relevance of the process and findings of in-depth interviews conducted with Aboriginal participants. SACHRU is managing the data entry, analysis and supporting the report writing.

Interviews have been conducted and analysis completed with the report submitted to the Aboriginal Prisoner Health Steering Committee in February 2007.
