Database & Access


A unique database of information has been compiled and is managed by the School of Population Health at the University of Western Australia. It has been recognized and relied upon by major international research centres as well as by researchers here in WA for over 40 years.The collection provides important information on common diseases and their relationships to risk factors, lifestyle and environmental variables. 

The Busselton Population Medical Research Foundation Inc (BPMRF) welcomes approaches from bona fide research workers for access to the accumulated data and biological materials, and for participation in ongoing and new data collection activities, provided the proposed research does not conflict with current research projects and is done in collaboration with a BPMRF- affiliated researcher. A summary of data, surveys and biological collection can be found here.
