A qualitative study exploring what it means to be healthy for young Indigenous Australians and the role of social media in influencing health behaviour.

CONCLUSIONS: Social connection and social media may provide platforms for young Indigenous people to facilitate exchange of culturally relevant information and encourage behaviour change alongside family, peer and community support. SO WHAT?: Unless accompanied with environmental changes, young adults may struggle to assert their individual agency and realise healthful behaviours, therefore strategies to change the environment are urgently required.
