The Victorian Department of Health and Community Service (DH & CS) Health Protection Section (Public Health Branch) commissioned CEH to conduct focus group discussions with four ethnic communities.
The purpose of these groups was to determine the general awareness of TB within the community, to ascertain the best way of promoting TB awareness, and to evaluate the Tuberculosis Information Brochure in their own language. A total of 53 people participated in the discussions.
The results were used to inform the development of the TB Strategy.
