QLD Women’s Health Strategy – Research on the health needs and health service use of Queensland women and girls
Synopsis
Queensland Health is seeking input for their new Queensland Women’s Health Strategy, providing ALSWH with the opportunity to inform the Queensland Government of the key issues in women’s health and health service use, using data from the ALSWH. This report will examine general health, behavioural and lifestyle factors, female reproductive characteristics, chronic conditions, and health service use amongst Queensland women and girls, compared to Australia overall. Additionally, areas of health inequality due to area of residence, education, income management, employment stability, housing, and domestic violence will be identified.
