I understand that the expense of academic journal articles precludes
many communities from having access to current trauma research. By
publishing my thesis in this forum I aim to promote equitable access to
peer – reviewed research, and to contribute to the global community’s
development of an informed, effective approach to trauma.
I gratefully acknowledge the support of Macquarie University and in
particular Dr Judi Homewood and Dr John Franklin for their assistance
with this research. My special thanks to Dr Malcolm Macnaughtan from
Seeker Wireless for providing technical assistance with my laboratory
equipment and, more importantly, a safe space for me to organise
diverse concepts and large visions.
Dr Jennifer A. Dawson, 2008
