Public Health Bulletin - Quarterly Bulletin
The Public Health Bulletin South Australia provides an avenue for the discussion of primary prevention and population health strategies and a forum for debate on public health policies and issues. The Bulletin aims to increase the recognition and understanding of the critical role population health plays in creating healthy and safe communities. This will be achieved through publishing scientifically based, peer reviewed articles which:
-
Increase understanding and recognition of the strengths of public health strategies in reducing the burden of disease
-
Provide evidence of emerging pathways between the underlying determinants of health and well being and their major causes of morbidity and mortality
-
Identify strategies to prevent and/or intervene in the disease process
-
Provide current data and information to practitioners and policy makers emphasising the value of orienting services towards prevention, health promotion and early intervention and to support effective public health interventions.
South Australian Cancer Registry data
The SA Cancer Registry of the Department of Health monitors, analyses, reports and makes recommendations on epidemiological, demographic and social indicators for interventions aimed at preventing cancer in South Australia.
The data collection is available for the diagnostic period from 1977, analysed by cancer site and histopathological type, and for sectors of the population classified by age, sex, place of residence, country of birth, and in many instances by race and occupation.
Pregnancy Outcome Statistics
The Pregnancy Outcome Statistics Unit of the Department of Health undertakes a statewide monitoring of pregnancy characteristics and outcomes, obstetric problems and characteristics of perinatal care, to identify those population groups most at risk so that preventive interventions can be directed accordingly. This is undertaken through its data collections:
-
Perinatal data collection of births in the State
-
Maternal, perinatal and infant deaths
-
Birth defects among South Australian births
-
Terminations of pregnancy
