2019 Major Report
Policy Briefs from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health
This major report, the latest in a series for the Department of Health and Aged Care, provides policy briefs on major topics for women’s health and wellbeing. The report was commissioned to inform the development of the National Women’s Health Strategy 2020-2030. It draws on an array of ALSWH research work undertaken over the past decade that has been published with peer review and that provides sufficient evidence to warrant a series of policy recommendations.
These key recommendations are not intended as an exhaustive policy prescription – since they relate specifically to the evidence that has emerged from ALSWH – but as a series of items that should be included in the development and synthesis of future policy initiatives.
