Bibliography

Australian Indigenous HealthBibliography

The HealthBibliography is a comprehensive online database comprising bibliographic records of literature on Australian Indigenous health. It currently includes more than 10,000 references.

An advanced search function has been developed to improve the usefulness of the bibliography and it is now available online. This new function will help users focus their searches more specifically. For example, a user can now restrict their search by author, keyword (or subject), year(s) of publication, and publication type (such as ‘journal article’). » more information

Indigenous illicit drug use web resource

We have recently developed an Indigenous illicit drug use web resource - a ‘one-stop info-shop’ for people working, studying or interested in addressing the use of illicit drugs among Indigenous peoples (view web resource).

The web resource provides quality information and materials about how to prevent and/or minimise the harm associated with the use of illicit drugs among Indigenous peoples. We are still in the process of developing content for this resource, but have decided to make available the information we have already gathered.

The web resource will also support an Indigenous illicit drug use yarning place by providing electronic services that encourage information sharing and collaboration among the full range of people working in health and related sectors. The yarning place will be available online in January. Membership is free and anyone working, studying, or otherwise interested in addressing issues surrounding illicit drug use among Indigenous Australians is encouraged to join (more information).
