Episode notes

Everyday racism is a familiar experience for many Indigenous people in Australia. Its impact on wellbeing has been understood anecdotally, but a long-term study has recently been able to demonstrate this with data. In this epsiode of BLA.C.K Medicine, Dr Mikayala Couch chats with Kirsty Nichols about Mayi Kuwayu, a ground-breaking research project tracking Indigenous health over time.
