Health study wants ill subjects living in Sydney
Have arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, a respiratory condition, high blood pressure or chronic pain?
The Rouse Hill Times reports that Arthritis New South Wales (NSW) and Hawkesbury-Hills Division of General Practice and the University of NSW research centre for primary health care and equity are running a study in The Hills area.
The organisers want to test the effectiveness of a new program called Moving On, which is a self-management program for people with long-term illness.
People recruited to the study will be placed in one of two programs. They are free and run once a week for seven weeks.
The study aims to recruit 300 participants between the ages of 45 and 75 across five local government areas – Hornsby, Ryde, The Hills, Blacktown and Hawkesbury.
