Australian general practice research has significantly increased, with universities leading the effort. While much research is clinically relevant for general practitioners (GPs), key areas like National Health Priorities and rural practice need more focus.

Area of Science:

  • General Practice Research
  • Primary Healthcare Research
  • Medical Research Trends

Background:

  • Australian general practice research output saw a near fivefold increase from 1990-1999 compared to the previous decade.
  • University departments, particularly those of general practice, were the primary drivers of this research growth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the trends and characteristics of Australian general practice research published in the 1990s.
  • To provide a foundational classification for future general practice and primary healthcare research.

Main Methods:

  • A review of Australian general practice research published during the 1990s.
  • Analysis of research involvement by general practitioners (GPs) and its clinical pertinence.

Main Results:

  • General Practitioners (GPs) participated in at least 60% of the reviewed research.
  • Approximately half of the research was clinically relevant to front-line GPs.
  • National Health Priority areas and rural general practice were underrepresented in the published research.

Conclusions:

  • The study highlights a substantial growth in Australian general practice research, largely driven by academic institutions.
  • While a significant portion of research is clinically pertinent, there are identified gaps in coverage of priority health areas and rural practice.
  • The review serves as a benchmark for future research classification in general practice and primary healthcare.
