Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet research

The Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet’s translational research contributes to ‘closing the gap’ in health between Indigenous and other Australians by informing practice and policy in Indigenous health. It does this by making the knowledge generated by various types of research and other information readily accessible to people working and studying in the area of Indigenous health.  

Translational Research and the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet is a working paper discussing the research being undertaken.  "In recognition of the fact that translational research (TR) is a new, inherently broad concept, the paper begins with a general overview of this important type of research. Drawing on the most recent international literature, the overview considers the various types of TR, with particular attention to its nature and methods at a population-level. The paper then summarises the various aspects of the HealthInfoNet's TR".
