The available data indicate that this is not the case, although people generally self-report as being in `good to excellent' health. Research indicates that Aboriginal people may not be benefiting from mainstream services owing to the emphasis placed on biomedical models of health that conflict with more culturally-based, ethnomedial models. This paper looks at achieving an interface between the two models as a means of pursuing more positive heath outcomes in urban settings
