Deadly Sports Stars

Investigating the need for, and effectiveness of, Sports Stars (a practitioner-led, peer-group sports intervention) for children with disability or inpairment in first nations communities in Australia using a codesign approach. This project would particularly suit a first nations student, or someone who has relationships with first nations communities.

Supporting children with chronic pain to participate in sport and physical recreation

Children with conditions such as Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis participate in less physical activity than their peers. Preliminary research shows that a practitioner-led, peer-group sports intervention (Sports Stars JIA) which combines physiotherapy and psychology, is feasible and acceptable for this population, however feedback indicates that further research into the barriers and subsequent target interventions should be conducted from the perspective of children with chronic pain and their families. This PhD would use a codesign approach to develop and pilot an intervention that can be upscaled for rapid clinical updake across different contexts in Australia.
