Online Journal Club

The AHPA Research, Evaluation, and Evidence Translation (REET) Committee runs the Online Journal Club for AHPA members.

What are online journal clubs? 

Internationally, online journal clubs bring health practitioners and researchers together for professional development, overcoming geographical limitations.

What to expect when participating in AHPA's Online Journal Club? 

AHPA's Online Journal Club has gone from strength to strength since its launch in 2020.

Participating in an online journal club is a great way to stay up to date with new practice and research in an area of interest, refine your critical appraisal skills, enhance your public speaking and communication skills, and collaborate with others. 

AHPA's Online Journal Club meetings are hosted online and facilitated by a member of the Online Journal Club working group. Before the meeting, a recent article from the Health Promotion Journal of Australia will be circulated for participants to read. During the meeting, participants will respond to questions posed by the facilitator, explore different aspects of the research design, critique the methods, and bring a critical and inquisitive perspective - whether scepticism or praise - on how the findings might inform health promotion practice, policy, or research.  

Registering for the Online Journal Club

The Online Journal Club meets 3-4 times per year. Take a look at our events page to register for our next Online Journal Club meeting. Spaces are limited, so be sure to register as soon as possible.
