Perceived Relevance of Consequences of Diagnostic Labelling

Researchers from Bond University's Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare are seeking insights from health consumers regarding the most effective methods of communicating health condition screening information, specifically non-cancer health conditions.

Health education and promotion

Study Purpose/Description

Health consumers are people who use health services, as well as their family and carers. This includes people who have used a health service in the past or who could potentially use the service in the future.

Bond University researchers want to better understand how best to communicate routine health screening for non-cancer health conditions to health consumers through an online focus group.

The results of the focus group will help researchers find better ways to communicate risks and benefits of screening, as well as possible diagnostic labelling.

What’s Involved?

Participation involves joining a 90-minute online focus group with a small group of individuals to discuss how best to communicate to routine health condition screening for non-cancer health conditions to health consumers.

aged between 40 and 65 years of age; and,

The Join Us Register Acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands across Australia as the continuing custodians of Country and acknowledge the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of this land. We pay our respect to First Nations peoples and Elders, past and present.

We acknowledge and celebrate the knowledge and the strengths of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities and recognise their continuing connection to land and waters.

We thank the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and the many individuals, organisations that have supported and guided us through our journey.

There is a huge opportunity to partner more with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to build on existing community strengths and resilience, often in the face of ongoing inequities. Through Join us, we will work together in the spirit of reciprocity to address ongoing impacts of colonisation so that we can all realise optimal health and wellbeing.
