The study was approved by the Western Australian Aboriginal Health Ethics Committee and the University of Western Australia Human Research Ethics Committee. Study results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at scientific meetings. We will also develop and disseminate a comprehensive DAMPAA toolkit for health services. The study's findings will guide future prevention strategies and outline a comprehensive process evaluation that may be useful in other Aboriginal health research to contextualise findings.
