Staying Moving Staying Strong resources
The Staying Moving Staying Strong (SMSS) project has developed arthritis information resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples living with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and gout. For further information, see the dedicated project website Staying strong with arthritis.
The SMSS project team consists of Aboriginal and non-Indigenous researchers, health practitioners and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community members with lived experience of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and/or gout. The SMSS project team conducted research yarns (culturally appropriate interviews) with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples about their arthritis information needs and preferences, and reviewed clinical practice guidelines to create culturally informed, evidence-based information resources.
The information resources have been developed in the format of videos, as well as digital downloadable and printed brochures.
- Videos and brochures are available on the Staying Strong with Arthritis website: https://www.stayingstrongwitharthritis.org.au/
- Brochures are also available for download below.
- Printed brochures have been distributed to health services nation-wide.
The resources have been developed by the SMSS project team, in partnership with Arthritis and Osteoporosis Western Australia, with the support of Arthritis Australia and funding from the Commonwealth Government.
