Abstract:
In the information age we are exposed to an overwhelming amount of information. It is literally beyond that capacity of anyone to stay abreast of developments in their field of endeavour. In this presentation using the HealthInfoNet as an example I will explore issues related to effective knowledge exchange in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. In particular I will focus on effective knowledge exchange to enhance the critical health literacy of the natural helpers in community – those who are naturally turned to in times of crisis and need to support their community. They are an under recognised, under resourced and overburdened defacto health workforce. Communicating research findings to diverse audiences represents a challenge to university researchers who may struggle to present their findings effectively to those outside academic settings using traditional academic outputs such as refereed papers and conference presentations.
