Bulletin 21 - Future plans
Future plans
Now that the statistical reporting of SCI in Australia is bedded down,
attention can be given by the Research Centre for Injury Studies (RCIS) to
other issues concerning the prevalent population. Given that little information
is available on the health and welfare of this population after their discharge
from rehabilitation, the RCIS will be undertaking a project in 1999 to identify
the information required and to determine the methods of collection of this
data. A future report will assess survival period. From time to time reports
concerning the outcomes of research based on the Register will be published. An
analysis of time series trends in SCI by State will be initiated in 1999.
