Yarnin' up hep C: a hepatitis C education resource for Indigenous communities (2003)

Description

The 'yarnin' up hep C' education resource was developed as part of a project run by Relationships Australia, South Australia. Its purpose is to increase awareness, encourage conversation, and prevent infections of hepatitis C. The resource consists of a small wallet-sized information leaflet, and a larger information booklet with information wheels, and has been designed specifically for educational use with Indigenous communities in metropolitan Adelaide. It is colourful and informative, with easy-to-understand language that explains the hepatitis C condition, its transmission, treatment and care, and provides community contacts.
