ObjectivesThis study aimed to analyse the usability, content, readability and cultural appropriateness of alcohol and other drugs (AODs) resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.Outcome measuresThe content of 30 AOD resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples was analysed according to the following criteria: general characteristics; elements of graphical design and written communication; thoroughness and content; readability (Flesch-Kincaid grade level (FKGL), Gunning Fog index (Fog), Simplified Measure of Gobbledygook and Flesch Reading Ease); and cultural appropriateness.ResultsMost resources displayed good usability, depicted by the use of headings and subheadings (n=27), superior writing style (n=19), relevant visuals (n=19) and use of colour support (n=30). However, some resources used at least one professional jargon (n=13), and many did not provide any peer-reviewed references (n=22). During content analysis, 12 resources were categorised into the alcohol group and 18 resources in the other drugs group. Impact of alcohol during pregnancy and breast feeding (n=12) was the most common included topics in the resources related to alcohol, while the physical impact of drugs (n=15) was the most discussed topics among the other drugs group. Based on the FKGL readability score, 83% of resources met the recommended reading grade level of 6–8 by NSW Health. Many resources (n=21) met at least half of the cultural appropriateness elements of interest. However, less than one-third were developed in collaboration with the local community (n=9), used local terms (n=5), targeted the local community (n=3), included an Aboriginal voice (n=2) and addressed the underlying cause (n=1).ConclusionsMany AOD resources are developed specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, but their usability, content and readability differed, and they were not culturally appropriate for all communities. Development of a standardised protocol for resource development is suggested.

The study focuses on how the activity serves as a tradition that shapes the community’s identity. Employing reciprocal ethnography approach, we found that the book review activity (which is done repeatedly and continuously) is a form of invented tradition that confirms the community’s motive to influence readers to read and understand the reviewed books in various perspectives, in addition to getting in touch and creating bonds with other book readers. The review is a process carried out by bookstagrammers (nickname for bookstagram community’s members) to deliver their understanding about certain books in different point of views.  In addition, discussion and talks on Instagram elicited by the bookstagrammers’ reviews in the form of comments show that this tradition has significantly become a part of the community’s identity.</p><p class="Normal1"> </p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Bookstagram Community, book review, reciprocal ethnography</p>
