Australian Indigenous HealthBulletin Vol 7 No 2

The April 2007 - June 2007 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).

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 diabetes web resource

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

This web resource aims at increasing the access of people involved in addressing the development and impact of diabetes among Indigenous peoples to accurate, up-to-date information and resources.

The HealthInfoNet is currently exploring options for adding the capacity for people involved in the area to actively share their information and experiences through development of a yarning place (an electronic network) that encourages electronic yarning and networking among people working across Australia to address the development and impact of diabetes among Indigenous peoples. (more information).
