Australian Health Trends 2001 outlines key trends in the health of Australians using the latest statistics and other available information. In particular the report examines health status, health service utilisation and determinants of health. More than 80 different health 'indicators' are used, with each indicator presented as a combination of descriptive text, a table and a graph. This report will be useful for all people interested in public health, including students, academic researchers and policy makers, as well as the general public.
