“…Their stories form the basis of the recommendations of the Working Group, (Stroud et al, 2020) emphasising the critical importance of deep Aboriginal involvement in the design and implementation of PHC in Aboriginal communities. Meetings of the Working Group focused on the central importance of Aboriginal leadership, and the notion of 'empowerment' was explored.…”

“…Two-way learning enables greater selfdetermination between parties because knowledge and balance of power are shared (Wynne-Jones et al, 2016;Harfield et al, 2018). An approach that facilitates two-way learning combined with flexible and accessible service provision and Aboriginal leadership can help ensure effective PHC programme development and implementation (Stroud et al, 2020).…”

This is an account of the crucial role played by a strong local Aboriginal workforce in health care delivery. We report on the personal experience of dedicated Aboriginal health professionals across Western Australia. Their understanding of what has worked in the provision of primary health care in their communities emphasises the importance of strong, local collaboration in the development of effective prevention programmes at a community level.

“…Of the 40 publications included in this review, 33 were from Australia, five were from the US and two were from Canada (Table 2). Program evaluation was the most common study design (N=11), 3,7,9,23,24,[28][29][30][31][32][33] followed by descriptive reports (N=8), 5,15,22,25,[34][35][36][37] exploratory studies (N=4), [38][39][40][41] cohort studies (N=4), 6,26,27,42 cross-sectional studies (N=3) 27,[43][44][45] and feasibility studies (N=3) [46][47][48] ; the remaining studies used a variety of analytical techniques and study designs. The language used to define IHWs varied across the studies, with Aboriginal health worker or AHW being employed most frequently (N=14) 6,15,22,[25][26][27]29,32,33,38,39,43,<...…”

Objective: To identify and describe the involvement of Indigenous Health Workers within ear health screening programs for Indigenous Peoples in Australia, Canada, the US and New Zealand. Methods: Peer‐reviewed and grey literature sources were systematically searched to identify evidence. This scoping review was conducted in accordance with the scoping review extension of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta‐Analyses guidelines. Results: Forty pieces of evidence were included in this review. While almost all included studies identified the critical role of Indigenous Health Workers in ear and hearing health, Indigenous leadership and involvement in research projects and service delivery varied significantly and none of the included studies reported Indigenous health worker perspectives. Approximately half of the authorship teams had at least one Indigenous author. Conclusions: There is a clear need for Indigenous leadership in ear and hearing health research and programming. Specialist teams involved in health service delivery and research need to enable this transition by understanding and privileging Indigenous leadership and investing in appropriate training for non‐Indigenous specialists providing care in Indigenous health contexts. Implications for public health: These findings are discussed in terms of opportunities to improve Indigenous ear and hearing health research and programming.
