Engaging consumers living in remote areas of Western Australia in the self-management of back pain: a prospective cohort study (original) (raw)

2012, BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders

As many areas in WA are geographically isolated and health services are limited, implementing this policy into practice is critical if health outcomes for consumers living in geographically-isolated areas are to be improved.
