Discrimination (1) What is it and what are the facts? Refers to self-reported situations/places in which the person received unfair or racist treatment. Major contributing factor to poor Abs. health as studies have shown it to be directly associated with various adverse health conditions. In 2008, 27% of Indigenous adults (aged 15 years and over) reported experience of discrimination in the previous 12 months. Most commonly experienced in the:  general public (11%),  police/security personnel/courts of law (11%),  at work or when applying for work (8%). More specifically, discrimination was more common among those who:  Have even displaced from their natural families 45% compared to 26%  Are unemployed 41% compared tp those who are employed 25%.  Had a disability or long-term health condition 32% compared to those without disability 22%.

Discrimination (2) Effect of discrimination: Recent research suggests that experiencing racism and discrimination can negatively affect areas of wellbeing such as mental and physical health Indigenous Australians who had experienced discrimination were:  More likely to report higher levels of psychological distress (44% compared with 26%),  Be in fair/poor health (28% compared with 20%).  More likely to engage in binge drinking (42% compared with 35%)  To have recently used illicit substances (28% compared with 17%) These victims of discrimination were less likely to trust the police, their local school, their doctor and/or hospital and other people in general.
