'Gudhurr-wutu' (strengthen the mob): maximizing the impact of First Nations health and well-being messaging.

ABSTRACT: Dunghutti Country is located within Australia's number one 'stroke hotspot', with incidence almost double the national average. First Nations peoples are disproportionately affected by stroke, with higher incidence and hospitalization rates and a greater risk of dying compared to non-First Nations Australians. Early recognition of stroke symptoms is critical for people to access time-sensitive medical interventions, maximizing recovery potential. Whilst an internationally recognized F.A.S.T (Face, Arm, Speech, Time) message exists to promote rapid recognition of stroke symptoms, community awareness of F.A.S.T is limited. This project aimed to collaboratively design a culturally responsive F.A.S.T health message with and by First Nation's peoples, thus increasing awareness of stroke symptom
