The health and well-being of Indigenous drug and alcohol workers: Results from a national Australian survey
Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment, 04/06/2012
Roche AM et al. – The findings highlight the importance of implementing workforce development strategies that focus on achieving culturally appropriate, equitable and supportive organisational conditions for Indigenous alcohol and other drug workers. Preventing or managing levels of stress, ensuring adequate and equitable salaries and benefits, and providing more opportunities for career and personal growth may increase job satisfaction and reduce turnover intention among Indigenous workers in the drug and alcohol field.
