Donate today to support women in science at Burnet and their work to unlock the vaginal microbiome and reduce risk of HIV infection and preterm birth for women around the world.
Improving the health of vulnerable communities and changing lives is at the heart of what we do and who we are.
In 2019, Burnet Institute received funding from Wyndham City Council to explore alcohol and other drug use among culturally and linguistically diverse communities in Wyndham.
This project will include interviews and focus group discussions with key stakeholders and young people and parents who live, work or hang out in Wyndham and identify as being from a migrant background.
Results will be used to inform the development of appropriate prevention, harm reduction and treatment responses in the area.
Other team members: Professor Margaret Hellard, Dr Megan Lim, Dr Danielle Horyniak, Dr Peter Higgs, Dr Karen Block (University of Melbourne)
