Annotation | This paper reports on an exploratory two-group, pre- and post-test design study, which employed data triangulation with a convenience sample of 120 women aged 45 to 83 living and/or working within the South East Sydney and Illawarra areas of New South Wales. 69 women (of whom 33 were health professionals) recorded the Health Check Log (HCL) to assess and monitor their health over 12 months. The majority found the HCL greatly assisted in monitoring and maintaining their health, and the analyses of the SF-36 health survey suggest that women aged 45+ may benefit from regular use of the HCL.
