Clearinghouse Connector

The Clearinghouse Connector is a capacity building initiative designed to connect professionals and organisations that work with women to the resources available in the Women’s Health Victoria Clearinghouse.

Each monthly edition of the Clearinghouse Connector contains resources selected to provide the most up-to-date, relevant and useful information on a specific topic. Resources cover information from research, statistics, government policy, prevailing social conditions affecting women’s health status, and clinical and therapeutic management of health matters. All resources profiled in the Connector are available from the Clearinghouse collection.

Clearinghouse Connector topics stem from priority issues identified by National and State government departments and Women’s Health Victoria. Topics can also arise from issues that are particularly current – the edition on HPV and cervical screening came about following the creation of the HPV vaccine.

Topics for the Clearinghouse Connector in 2008 will include:

1. Alcohol
2. Violence against women
3. Breast cancer
4. Anxiety
5. Gynaecological health
6. Reproductive health
7. Sexual health
8. Drugs
9. Tobacco
10. Ageing
11. Housing
