Conducting longitudinal research: Practical lessons from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health
Journal of Multiple Research Approaches, 2007, Vol 1/2, ISBN 978-0-9775742-9-2

The investigators and staff of the ALSWH have collaborated to write a practical guide to the development and successful management of longitudinal research. While specifics of research methods are well covered in academic and course work texts, methods of meeting the day-to-day practical challenges of running a long term study have not been presented in a single volume. This series fills this gap in the literature from the unique perspective of the people who have been meeting such challenges for the past ten years. The book is currently available in electronic format as a special edition of the Journal of Multiple Research Approaches and will be published in hard copy in 2008.

 
Women's Health Australia: What do we know? What do we need to know? Progress on the Australian Longitudinal Study of Women's Health 1995-2000.
The Women's Health Australia Research Team. Edited by Christina Lee. Australian Academic Press, 2001

Copies of this book are priced at $A22.00 (GST inclusive) each.

The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health, now known as Women’s Health Australia, is funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Aged Care and has been running since 1995. The aim of the project is to collect scientifically valid information that is relevant to the development of health policy, so that Commonwealth and State Government Departments of Health can base policy and practice in women’s health on current data and accurate information.

The study is strongly multidisciplinary and takes a broad, biopsychosocial, perspective of women’s health as embedded in a social and family context. This publication pr
ovides an introduction and overview to the project. The first chapters outline the overall research design and introduce the three cohorts of women. The following sections provide snapshots of the various perspectives on women’s health which the project team have taken.
