Survey data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health

Full description

The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health - widely known as Women's Health Australia - is a longitudinal population-based survey, which examines the health of over 40,000 Australian women over a 20 year period. It was first funded in 1995.
The project was designed to explore factors that influence health among women who are broadly representative of the entire Australian population. The study goes beyond a narrow perspective that equates women's health with reproductive and sexual health, and takes a comprehensive view of all aspects of health throughout women's lifespan.
The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health is managed by staff and investigators at the Priority Research Centre for Gender, Health and Ageing, the University of Newcastle, and staff and investigators at the University of Queensland.
