This project aimed to review the extant literature and identify evidence of clinical pathways, protocols and procedures being used by health professionals and Aboriginal Health Workers in the assessment and management of comorbid alcohol related disease and diabetes in Aboriginal people. Comorbid diagnoses present serious health needs for Aboriginal people and especially those with diabetes.
This report summarises the relevant desktop and published literature to make recommendations for future action regarding improved management and enhanced outcomes of this client group.
