Experiences of Domestic Violence and Other Adversities in Australian Children
Background National data on the prevalence and characteristics of childhood experiences of domestic violence (EDV), and its relationship with other types of childhood maltreatment and adversity are limited. This study provides the prevalence and characteristics of childhood EDV from a nationally representative sample of Australians aged 16-years and over. Methods Data were drawn from the Australian Child Maltreatment Study. Prevalence estimates a…
Assessing quantitative methods in archaeology via simulated datasets
Compared to what is found in many other scientific disciplines, archaeological data are typically scarce, biased and fragmented. This, coupled with the fact that archaeologists can rarely test their hypotheses using experimental design, makes archaeological inference and our ability to assess the robustness of quantitative methods used to make such inferences challenging. Archaeoriddle is a project that was born as an attempt to compare archaeolo…
The relationship between intermediary actors in the aquaculture supply chain at Tam Giang Lagoon, Central Vietnam
Aquaculture's profitability depends on a whole linkage chain involving all stages of producing, distributing and commercializing the product to reach final consumption.The efficiency of a supply chain is affected by the types of relationships among actors.This study aims to explore the nature of intermediary actors' relationship in the aquaculture supply chain and the determinants of this relationship.Tam Giang Lagoon, Thua Thien Hue province, Ce…
The Influence of Stigma Perceptions on Employees’ Claims Experiences for Psychological Injuries
While a large body of research assessed the contribution of mental health stigma on disclosure, treatment seeking, and recovery, limited research exists seeking to identify the relative contribution of stigma beliefs on workers' compensation claims for psychological injury. Survey data of ambulance, fire and rescue, police, and state emergency service personnel ( N = 1855, aged 45-54 years, 66.4% male) was re-examined to assesses the unique and c…
Families' experiences of supporting Australian veterans and emergency service first responders ( ESFRs ) to seek help for mental health problems
The objective of this phenomenological study was to describe families' experiences of supporting veterans and emergency service first responders (ESFRs) (known also as public safety personnel) to seek help for a mental health problem. In-depth semi-structured open-ended interviews were undertaken with 25 family members of Australian veterans and ESFRs. Fourteen participants were family members of police officers. Data were analysed thematically. …

Trajectories of academic achievement for students with attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder
BACKGROUND: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with negative social and occupational outcomes across the life course. However, there has been limited population-based research that quantifies the impact of ADHD on academic achievement and academic trajectories. AIMS: To compare academic performance and academic trajectories of students with ADHD with students without a mental disorder. SAMPLE: Data were drawn from Young…
Loneliness in adolescence
Work-related and nonwork stressors, PTSD, and psychological distress
Stressors experienced at work are a risk factor for developing posttraumatic stress symptoms and distress in the sector. Organizations should have comprehensive policies and programs to help prevent the development of mental health problems and to support personnel who develop mental health problems.

A latent growth curve model to estimate electronic screen use patterns amongst adolescents aged 10 to 17 years
These results highlight the diverse nature of adolescent screen use and emphasise the need to consider both grade and sex in future research and policy
Poverty, Parental Mental Health and Child/Adolescent Mental Disorders
Development of the Adolescent Preoccupation with Screens Scale
The APSS provides researchers with a new, brief and robust measure of potentially problematic screen use across a wide array of screens, including mobile devices, so readily accessed during adolescence

Dilly Wanderer initiatives – Wollondilly Health Alliance
Introduction: The Wollondilly Shire Local Government Area is a peri-urban area located on the south west fringe of the Sydney Metropolitan area facing increasing challenges associated with population growth, health concerns and service provision. Residents have access to local primary care but must travel outside the region for higher level health services. Compared to NSW, there are higher rates of obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking and lung …
From Bench to Curbside
The Community Earth System Model (Cesm) Large Ensemble Project
While internal climate variability is known to affect climate projections, its influence is often underappreciated and confused with model error. Why? In general, modeling centers contribute a small number of realizations to international climate model assessments [e.g., phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5)]. As a result, model error and internal climate variability are difficult, and at times impossible, to disentangle. I…
Development and validation of the Australian Aboriginal racial identity and self-esteem survey for 8–12 year old children (Irise_C)
The IRISE_C has been shown to be a valid instrument useful of exploring the development of racial identity of Australian Aboriginal children across the 8-12 year old age range and across urban, rural and regional geographical locations
The Community Earth System Model
By simulating biogeochemical cycles, the Greenland ice sheet, and more-with reach to the lower thermosphere-this system gives the research community a flexible, state-of-thescience tool for understanding climate variability and change.
The gap in life expectancy from preventable physical illness in psychiatric patients in Western Australia
OBJECTIVE: To examine the mortality experience of psychiatric patients in Western Australia compared with the general population. DESIGN: Population based study. SETTING: Western Australia, 1985-2005. PARTICIPANTS: Psychiatric patients (292,585) registered with mental health services in Western Australia. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Trends in life expectancy for psychiatric patients compared with the Western Australian population and causes of excess …
Trends in sugar supply and consumption in Australia
The Australian Paradox assertion is based on incomplete data, as it excludes sugar contained in imported processed foods, which have increased markedly. A major Australian public health target is to improve the quality of the food supply, and actions have been set in terms of achieving broader environmental changes. However, evaluation of progress is hampered by lack of high quality data relating to supply and consumption. We recommend the regula…
Sugar sweetened beverage consumption by Australian children
SSB intake by Australian children remains high and warrants continued public health attention. Evidence based and age-targeted interventions, which also recognise supermarkets as the primary source of SSB, are recommended to reduce SSB consumption among children. Additionally, education of parents and children regarding the health consequences of high consumption of both carbonated and non-carbonated SSBs is required
From the other side. Recently collected oral evidence of contacts between the Torres Strait Islanders and the Papuan peoples of the southwestern coast
Although the folk tales of the Papuan people of the southwestern coast of Papua New Guinea were first collected by Landtman1 and similar collections of tales were made in the Torres Strait by Haddon,2 Laade3 Beckett4 and Lawrie,5 little attempt has been made to collect the oral evidence of the long and continuous history of contact between Islanders and Papuans who collectively share the Torres Strait region
Antecedents of teenage pregnancy from a 14-year follow-up study using data linkage
Our findings suggest that interventions to reduce teenage pregnancy rates could be introduced during primary school years, including those that are focused on the prevention and management of aggressive and delinquent behaviour

The Development of a Self-esteem Questionnaire
The questionnaire (LAWSEQ) was constructed to measure self-esteem in primary school children. The questions were selected to cover the main areas of concern shown by children in an earlier counselling study. There were 20 questions in the original version, including four innocuous ones, and with a parallel form (Form B). In the final version the questionnaire comprises 16 items, chosen as a result of an item analysis carried out by the University…
