Australian Indigenous HealthBulletin Vol 6 No 3

The July 2006 - September 2006 issue of the Australian Indigenous HealthBulletin is now 'in progress' and available online (view current issue). The purpose of the Australian Indigenous HealthBulletin is to provide access to information of relevance to Australian Indigenous health. Reflecting the wide range of our users - policy makers, service providers, researchers, students and the general community - the HealthBulletin attempts to keep people informed of current events of relevance, as well as information about recent research.

As with all areas of our site, we welcome your assistance and contributions in making the Australian Indigenous HealthBulletin as useful as possible. Please let us know (view HealthInfoNet contact details) about events and information relating to sections of the HealthBulletin. If you would like to submit an article for inclusion in 'Original articles', 'Reviews' or 'Brief reports', please see the notes for contributors (view notes for contributors).

Health

Indigenous overweight and obesity web resource

We have recently developed an Indigenous overweight and obesity web resource - a ‘one-stop info shop’ for people working, studying or interested in physical activity among Indigenous peoples (view web resource).

We are still in the process of developing content for this resource, but have decided to make available the information we have already gathered.

Health

Indigenous inhalant misuse (including petrol sniffing) web resource and yarning place

We have recently developed an Indigenous inhalant misuse web resource - a ‘one-stop info-shop’ for people working, studying or interested in addressing the misuse of inhalants 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 misuse of inhalants 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 also supports an Indigenous inhalant misuse yarning place by providing electronic services that encourage information sharing and collaboration among the full range of people working in health and related sectors.

Health

Indigenous physical activity web resource

We have recently developed an Indigenous physical activity web resource - a ‘one-stop shop’ for people working, studying or interested in physical activity among Indigenous peoples (view web resource).

We are still in the process of developing content for this resource, but have decided to make available the information we have already gathered. We recognise that there isn’t a substantial amount of information about physical activity specific to Indigenous peoples, but much of the general information is relevant.
