Abstract
Introduction The commercial determinants of health (CDoH) are a rapidly growing field of research and global health priority. Despite being disproportionately affected, Indigenous Peoples’ voices and perspectives are conspicuously absent from CDoH research and policy. This article outlines the protocol for Addressing Commercial Health determinants: Indigenous Empowerment and Voices for Equity (ACHIEVE), an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led project in Australia. Methods and analysis ACHIEVE integrates four research streams, using a novel combination of methods. The first three streams will (i) conceptualise the CDoH using Indigenous yarning methodology, (ii) evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of policies to reduce exposure to harmful marketing and (iii) assess the impacts of specific commercial entities on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health using case studies. The final stream will consolidate findings from streams 1–3 and work with Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) to co-create strategies for addressing the commercial determinants of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. Ethics and dissemination Ethical approval for streams 1–3 has been granted by Deakin University Human Research Ethics Committee. ACHIEVE is guided by a governance model that prioritises Indigenous data sovereignty, community and ACCHO partnerships, capacity building and knowledge translation. Findings will be shared with participants, ACCHOs and policymakers to maximise research impact. Data availability statement No data are available. Protocol paper with no current data available.
