Enduring strengths and a critical gap, the Ottawa Charter and animal rescue fostering in Aotearoa-New Zealand
According to the Ottawa Charter, both care for others and a supportive environment promote health. Although the Ottawa charter focuses on the human context, animal rescue organizations can be conceptualized as providing supportive environments as part of their work to rehome animals. Animal fosterers also build care relationships with the animals they foster. Therefore, the Ottawa Charter provides a foundation for viewing animal fostering as heal…
Representations of Youth Climate Anxiety
Reports of children feeling distressed, anxious, or angry about the impacts of climate change have appeared in the international news media with increasing frequency since 2019. There is international evidence that young people are increasingly worried about climate change, and such distress negatively affects their daily lives. The ways that such distress is framed in public discourse vary widely. We conducted a framing analysis of 274 articles …
Is equity meaningfully incorporated into pandemic preparedness and response? A scoping review and critical analysis of Ebola and Covid-19 outbreak responses in Uganda 2019-2023
Societal inequities produce vulnerabilities that infectious disease can exploit. Current approaches to pandemic prevention, detection and response are led by the International Health Regulations IHR and the Global Health Security Agenda. However, to contain the spread of infectious diseases, localised action to address systemic inequities must be considered. The purpose of this scoping review and equity analysis is to 1) Synthesise the available …
How does learning about the future of the ocean impact children's emotional wellbeing? Insights from ocean literacy educators in Aotearoa New Zealand
Four decades of research on the health effects of ‘connection to nature’ identifies many wellbeing advantages for young people. Yet this literature has developed largely without reference to biophysical evidence about mass biodiversity loss, the degradation of marine environments and climate change. As these interlocking planetary crises progress, children will be more likely to witness the marine environments they learn about degrade or disappea…
Working with interpreters in the family violence sector in Australia
This study explores the role of interpreters and experiences of interpreting within family violence service provision in Australia. Data were drawn from the ASPIRE Project, a community-based participatory research project involving in-depth interviews with service providers (n = 57) and refugee and migrant women who had experienced family violence (n = 46), and a focus group discussion with interpreters (n = 4). The findings show that interpretin…
How structural and symbolic violence during resettlement impacts the social and mental wellbeing of forced migrant women
Forced migrant women experience high levels of violence across their journeys and violence can be characterised as having three overarching forms: structural, symbolic, and interpersonal. It is important to understand the intersecting nature of gendered forms of symbolic, structural and interpersonal violence, and their impact on the mental health of forced migrant women in order to develop holistic IPV and resettlement programs and interventions…
Systematic review of the content and methods of empirical psychological research on LGBTQ and SGM populations in the new millennium
The MuSeS project
BACKGROUND: Violence against women is a major human rights and public health issue globally. The experience of violence affects women across Australia, including the large number of migrant and refugee women who permanently or temporarily resettle in the country. Many women who experience violence find it difficult to access support, and evidence suggests women who have resettled in Australia face additional barriers to violence-specific services…
Patient narratives of illnesses requiring abdominal surgery in Cambodia
This study describes the illness narratives that inform treatment-seeking behaviours for acute abdominal conditions in Cambodia, and thereby explores factors impeding the timely delivery of surgical intervention. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were undertaken with patients who had undergone abdominal surgery at Siem Reap Provincial Hospital between 2011 and 2014. Interviews collected basic demographic information and also patient narrativ…
Mothers’ experiences of settling infants in central Vietnam “through their eyes”
There is little research on beliefs and practices regarding unsettled infant behavior and infant sleep in low and lower-middle income countries such as Vietnam. Here, researchers used a participatory qualitative visual method (photo-elicitation) to investigate how infant settling was perceived "through the eyes" of new mothers in Central Vietnam. Four qualitative themes emerged from the data: "loneliness in the midst of the crowd", "finding the r…
Between ‘here’ and ‘there’
The purpose of this article is to investigate how (dis)connection with place influences immigrant and refugee women’s experiences of family violence in regional/remote and metropolitan southern Australia. We draw on research from the ASPIRE project (Analysing Safety and Place in Refugee Experience) in the states of Victoria and Tasmania. A participatory research approach was used to interview immigrant and refugee women who had experienced violen…

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to explore perceived barriers to managing medications and potential solutions to such barriers among Bhutanese former refugees and service providers in Tasmania, Australia. Method: Thirty Bhutanese former refugees and service providers recruited through community health programs participated in a community-based participatory research design. Data were elicited through a structured focus group process a…
HealthLit4Kids study protocol; crossing boundaries for positive health literacy outcomes
Health promotion cannot be meaningfully achieved in isolation from health literacy. Whilst health promotion activities are common in the school environment, health literacy is not a familiar concept. HealthLit4Kids recognizes that a one-size fits all approach seldom works to address health literacy. Long-term health outcomes are reliant on embedded, locally owned and co-designed programs which respond to local health and health literacy needs
The Challenges of Participant Photography
Photovoice and photo-elicitation are two common methods of participant photography used in health research. Although participatory photography has many benefits, this critical reflection provides fellow researchers with insights into the methodological and ethical challenges faced when using such methods. In this article, we critically reflect on two studies that used participatory photography in different cultural contexts. The first study used …

The Experiences of African Women Giving Birth in Brisbane, Australia
Our purpose in this research was to uncover first-person descriptions of the birth experiences of African refugee women in Brisbane, Australia, and to explore the common themes that emerged from their experiences. We conducted semistructured interviews with 10 African refugees who had given birth in Brisbane. Essences universal to childbirth such as pain, control, and experiences of caregivers featured prominently in participants' descriptions of…

Developmental Aspects of the Use of Linguistic and Graphemic Information During Reading
S ummary .— The use of syntactic, semantic and graphemic information by 52 readers in the first and second year of junior school was examined by means of a cloze task and an error‐detection task. The results from both tasks indicated that there is greater use of all three types of information in the second year compared with the first year, and by good readers compared with poor readers. No evidence was found for an inverse relationship between t…
