Details
This symposium will outline and present some preliminary data from a project that seeks to trial a ‘universal precautions’ approach to stigma reduction; whereby health systems would assume that all people who enter a health service might be fearful of being treated negatively or excluded in some way. This is a new and novel intervention to be trialled in various health services across Australia.
