 Latrobe Valley wants more community say in managing asbestos-related disease : Media Releases : News : The University ...
Conducted by researchers from the Centre for the Study of Health and Society at the University of Melbourne, the study was spurred by observation that the voices and perspectives of those most affected by asbestos disease are rarely heard in the formulation of responses to Australia’s on-going asbestos disease epidemic.
The setting for the study was the Latrobe Valley region of Victoria, which has the highest burden of asbestos disease in Victoria due to extensive use of asbestos in the past in the power industry.
Other themes to emerge from the interviews include the challenges of living with risk from past exposure (for those not yet affected by asbestos disease), the lack of adequate healthcare facilities in the region, and the extensive involvement of women in support and advocacy.
