Printer Friendly Version of this Document

This study aims to examine:

1. How environmental factors influence immune diseases.

2. How immune disorders vary by latitude across Australia.

The Ausimmune Study is a case-control study across Australia involving approximately 1000 people. The study regions include Brisbane city, the Newcastle region, the Western Districts of Victoria and Tasmania.

For the study to provide correct findings, it is important that a representative sample of people with and without immune disorders be included in each study region. High participation rates will ensure the sample is representative.
