Why have a blog on HIA?
This blog is intended as a mechanism to encourage information sharing between HIA practitioners and those with an interest in HIA. The project was originally established as part of the NSW HIA Project and is maintained by the Healthy Public Policy Program at the Centre for Health Equity Training, Research and Evaluation (CHETRE), which is part of the UNSW Research Centre for Primary Health Care and Equity.
Blogs allow users like you to interact to a greater degree than traditional websites. You can post comments and other users can respond to what you say. You can inlude links to material you've found or just give your opinion on what has been written.
It's my hope that this blog will be more about what you want to say than what I do. So go on - comment!

Subscribing Using Feeds
What is a Blog Feed?
A blog feed is a data feed produced by a weblog or sites that use feeds (e.g. most newspaper sites). It is designated by a web address, or URL, and is usually in an Extensible Markup Language-variant format like Rich Site Summary (RSS) or Atom.Why Bother Subscribing?
Subscribing to a feed allows you to receive all new posts without having to visit the site. In essence, it allows you to find out when the blogs you subscribe to are updated and automatically downloads their posts. If you regularly look at a few different sites this is the most time efficient way of staying up to date with their content.How do I Subscribe?
The easiest way to subscribe to a feed is using a web-based news aggregator:These allow you to easily access a number of different feeds from a single page in your web browser. You simply enter the URL for one of the feeds below into the news reader and you're off and running!HIA Connect Blog Feeds
