What are the benefits?
This survey will fill key gaps in knowledge about Australian women’s experiences of time pressure at different ages or life stages and help Jean Hailes to understand how women are navigating an increasingly complex health information environment. Ultimately, the findings will help Jean Hailes to identify how to best support women to make informed decisions about their health and could benefit Australian women now and into the future.
