Abstract
The purpose of this report is to provide evidence-based information to the 14 South Australian Divisions of General Practice and the South Australian Divisions of General Practice Inc (SADI) about the self-reported health status of, and related issues for, their communities using a representative epidemiologically-sound sample of the South Australian population. It will assist the general practitioners in advocating for health issues specific to their Divisions and to form policy to achieve valuable change for the general practitioners and the community. The information will assist forward planning by investigating issues identified by the Divisions and providing reliable population estimates. While differences within each Division were identified, caution should be exercised regarding comparisons between the Divisions because of the different age-sex structure within each Division. The health issues examined are important in their own right for each Division and reflect the Divisions’ unique demographic composition.
