Dear ISPRN Members

Dr Dora von Conrady has had a paper published on her ISPRN research looking at patterns of complementary and alternative medicine use and health literacy in general practice patients in urban and regional Australia.

Our Dean of Medicine, Professor Nick Zwar would like to extend an invitation to your practice to participate in “The Webquit pilot study”.

This research is being undertaken to learn more about how we can assist smokers with depression to quit smoking in primary care.

The intervention integrates a program delivered via the internet with support provided in general practice.

The aim of this study is to pilot the Webquit intervention in general practice to evaluate the program’s feasibility for both patients and health care providers.
