The findings of my report showed that the further an Indigenous Australia was from a major centre, the higher the rate of incidence among them was. However further research was done to discover that location was not the only factor that determines incidence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). It was also found that socioeconomic factors, education and lifestyle were other major contributors to the incidence of CKD. To discover my findings I extensively researched using Interviews, medical journals, newspapers, online videos, websites, and books. This outcome was valuable as it helped me recognise the extensive current health gap between non-Indigenous and Indigenous Australians and possible solutions to repair this gap in Australia.

Many medicals terms were used thoroughly through the journals which meant it had me constantly checking what terminology meant or not understanding what it meant. I managed to overcome this by utilising the access to Dr Coates. He helped me gather a far greater understanding on many of the medical terms which meant I could extract helpful information from
