Ninti One was invited by Indigenous Eye Health (IEH) to conduct an evaluation of the Trachoma Health Promotion Programme (THPP). The project evaluated the work of IEH at the University of Melbourne and its contribution to the goals of the National THPP in six remote Aboriginal communities in Central Australia (namely the tristate border region of South Australia, the Northern Territory and Western Australia). The intent of the project was to identify community knowledge and perceptions of the THPP and what impact this knowledge had on the respondents and their actions. The outputs will be used by IEH and others working in this field to continue the work of eliminating trachoma and to improve and develop future activities and initiatives. The research was conducted over six locations – Ali Curung, Finke, Lajamanu, Ntaria, Pukatja (Ernabella) and Warburton – ensuring that a sufficiently large and representative sample of people was reached in each community and overall across the population. - Executive summary; Made available via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).

The question on whether participants had seen an effective health programme elicited many different responses. These results imply the need for further analysis of what makes a good health programme for those who responded by naming programmes but without our survey asking them to explain why. Responses categorised as others comprised yes (2), cleaning the home (1), programmes at the school (1), programmes promoting school (1), how to look after children (1), other health promotion advertisements (1), foot and eye doctor (1), the Kalkaringi mob IHHP (1), mental illness (1) and unrelated (2). 0 5 10 15 20 25 Pukatja Lajamanu Warburton Ntaria Finke Ali Curung
