Advocacy
Clearinghouse Connector – October 2007
This edition of the Clearinghouse Connector profiles information resources that explore the issue of advocacy.
Although it is often not well understood and under-utilised, advocacy has the potential to influence population wide health improvements. The Women’s Health Victoria Clearinghouse holds a number of resources on advocacy that describe what advocacy is and its effects, how to advocate, and case studies that detail advocacy campaigns and their results.
