Abstract:

Australia still does not have a national sexual health strategy. Sexually transmissible infections such as chlamydia continue to plague the community, and the incidence of HIV is increasing. But a cohesive sexual health strategy cannot merely be disease-focussed, it must include the broader social and cultural aspects of sexual behaviour and sexuality. We propose a public health framework for the development of a national sexual health strategy that will bring Australia in line with the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

Abstract:

This paper uses data from Australian Institute of Health and Welfare research on health inequalities to highlight the importance of moving beyond a simple risk factor approach to health promotion, to focus on the broader contextual factors which influence disparities in health within the Australian population. It argues that addressing health inequalities requires a focus on location (geography) and hence a first step in reducing health disparities is to develop national, state, and local health promotion plans.

Abstract:

The creation of a National Women's Health Policy in 1989 put Australia at the forefront of developments in women's health. By contrast, in the United Kingdom there is still no clear strategy for improving gender equity in the health service, and many of the principles taken for granted in Australia are not even on the National Health Service agenda. The current reforms of our health service do reflect a backing away from the 'quasi markets' of the Conservative era. However, little attention has been paid during this process to the specific needs of women. So Australia is still ahead, with Vict

Abstract:

The Alma Ata 1978 Declaration on primary health care has conventionally been applied in developing countries, where medically trained personnel and other highly skilled health professionals and medical infrastructure are limited. Although such concepts have salience in relatively resource rich countries such as Australia, it is in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health policy that they have become pivotal. A growing national focus on the development of Aboriginal primary health care capacity followed the release of the National Aboriginal Health Strategy (NAHS) in 1989 (Anderson, 1997).

Abstract:

Over the last decade, notification rates for genital Chlamydia trachomatis infection in Australia have been rising progressively. While chlamydia is common and possibly increasing in the general population, heterosexual adolescents, indigenous Australians in remote settings, and homosexually active men are at particular risk of infection. Few studies are available on the extent of morbidity from chlamydia-associated diseases. Australia urgently needs a national strategy to control chlamydia, with widespread, selective screening as a key component. As general practitioners have an important rol

Australia’s planning and preparedness for a health emergency response has served us well in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this, rapid and agile decisions were required to manage the public health impact. In the face of uncertainty and the seemingly evolving nature of the virus, we have seen precautionary actions and outcomes beyond that articulated in planning. The timely closure of international borders, requiring 14-day quarantine of returning travellers in designated facilities, is one such outcome; yet potentially the single most effective measure in controlling the pandem

Abstract:

The Centre of Clinical Research Excellence (CCRE) in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health was established in late 2003 through a major National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) grant involving collaboration between the Aboriginal Health Council of South Australia (AHCSA), Flinders University, and Aboriginal Health Services. Our foundation research communities are the Aboriginal communities served by these Aboriginal Health Services in the Spencer Gulf / Eyre Peninsula region. In recent years a number of collaborative research programs involving chronic illness management, se

Abstract:

An international roundtable on self-management support (SMS) for persons living with chronic conditions (CCs) was held in Vancouver, Canada, in June 2009. It brought together 23 leading researchers, policy makers, health care practitioners and consumers from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. It also provided a forum for critically reflecting on SMS approaches and for building consensus on how to move forward in the self-management field. The deliberations resulted in a draft international framework that identifies key definitions, principles and strategi

Abstract:

Medications form a significant portion of spending in primary health care. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-Is) are among the most prescribed blood pressure medications in general practice. Medications within this class are considered therapeutically equivalent, but the cost of each ACE-I varies. Our aim was to explore cost and other factors that influence general practitioners (GPs) to prescribe a specific ACE-I and understand their views on therapeutic interchange within this drug class. We conducted a qualitative study of Australian GPs using thematic analysis. We found that GP

Abstract:

Background and design— Australia has the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, and the incidence is estimated to be doubling every 10 years. Despite advances in the early detection and treatment of melanoma about 800 people still die nationally of the disease each year. A possible strategy for further reducing the mortality from melanoma is an organised programme of population screening for unsuspected lesions in asymptomatic people. Arguments against introducing melanoma screening have been based on cost and the lack of reliable data on the efficacy of any screening tests. To date, howev

The need to protect underground sources of drinking and household water supply. Many reasons, including climatic changes, an increase in anthropogenic pressure, and an increase in the need for drinking water, dictate the need to protect underground sources of drinking and domestic water supply. The USSR was the pioneer in the field of drinking water protection in the world. Already in 1956, USSR put an instruction on the establishment of sanitary protection zones (SPZ) into effect. The United States took the first steps in resolving this issue only seven years later. Along with Soviet developm

Abstract:

Australia?s National Suicide Prevention Strategy (NSPS) is about to move into a new funding phase. In this context this paper considers the emphasis of the NSPS since its inception in 1999. Certain high-risk groups (particularly people with mental illness and people who have selfharmed) have been relatively neglected, and some promising approaches (particularly selective and indicated interventions) have been under-emphasised. This balance should be redressed and the opportunity should be taken to build the evidence-base regarding suicide prevention. Such steps have the potential to maximise t
