Improving access to the evidence base: FASD Hub Evaluation finds website a trusted source of information for health and other professionals
Distinguished Professor Elizabeth Elliott and Emeritus Professor Carol Bower established the FASD Hub in 2017
An evaluation of the FASD Hub Australia website has found that 92% of visitors were likely or very likely to recommend the FASD Hub to colleagues.
Published today in the Drug and Alcohol Review, the paper titled ‘Evaluation of the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Hub Australia website’ found that users thought the FASD Hub was accessible, authoritative, and useful.
“Creation of the FASD Hub has been critical. Before it was established, there was no single destination for credible, evidence-based resources about FASD for clinicians, researchers and the general public.”
“Many resources were available only in hard copy, were from overseas, and were limited to certain jurisdictions – meaning different people had access to different information.”
“The FASD Hub set out to change this – and to showcase Australian data for the local context,” said FASD Hub Chair and last author on the paper, Professor Elizabeth Elliott.”
