3. OATSIH's Current Investment

4 Key Priorities

The documentation considered for this review included published literature, national policy documents and reports, and jurisdictional level reports such as strategies and action plans. Documentation was provided by OATSIH, as well as by stakeholders, and through a search of the literature.
Published literature was sought through:

database search of the literature through EBSCO, providing access to Medline, Academic Search Complete, SocIndex, and Australian/New Zealand Reference Centre
internet searches of the major national Australian research centres, such as the National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research and the National Centre in HIV Social Research
Indigenous Health Infonet
references and resources provided during interviews
searches of specific journals such as Sexual Health, Medical Journal of Australia, Australia and New Zealand Journal of Public Health
internet searches of other organisations and government departments to identify published reports and documents.

The literature assisted the review by informing the research team regarding the policy context in preparing for stakeholder consultation, and by providing contextual and baseline information on which to assess OATSIH-funded activity. Information provided by OATSIH offices and by other stakeholders was helpful in developing a picture of activity at a jurisdictional level, which is summarised in Appendix B. top of page
