Intellectual disability and Aboriginal Australians – training needs for psychiatrists
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
Aboriginal Australians have relatively high rates of intellectual disability, a situation that is probably due mainly to poor health and social disadvantage. Populations with high rates of intellectual disability are more at risk of developmental disorders and mental ill health. We explore the training needs for psychiatrists working with indigenous people and how they can be met.
