Who are the educators participating in agricultural industry school partnerships?
Purpose Little is known about the educators who participate in agricultural industry school partnerships (ISPs) and how to best support them to implement associated activities. This research explores the nature of educators who were willing to partake in agricultural ISPs by understanding what relevant experience they had, their perceptions of agriculture, and the support they need to participate. Design/methodology/approach A descriptive mixed-m…
Rural Research and Development Corporations’ Connection to Agricultural Industry School Partnerships
The Australian Government has prioritized science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in recent years to ensure that the country has an adequate future workforce. The agriculture industry is a major employer with a diverse range of occupations heavily focused on STEM. Many students do not realize the career opportunities in the sector, which is currently facing severe workforce shortages. Industry school partnerships (ISPs)…
Health action process approach
Based on the health action process approach (HAPA) this study examined whether changes in social cognition constructs could predict change in physical activity and fruit and vegetable intake for adult participants in My health for life, an Australian health promotion behaviour change program. Variance-based structural equation modelling was used to analyse data obtained from Australian adult program participants (n = 167) at baseline (T1), week 1…
Using a Collective Impact framework to evaluate an Australian health alliance for improving health outcomes
Complex social issues such as population health mean that no one person, organization or sector can resolve these problems alone and instead require a collaborative approach. This study applied the Collective Impact framework to evaluate the alliance responsible for delivering a large-scale health promotion initiative. Committee meeting minutes for a 4-year period and qualitative interviews with key stakeholders (N = 14) involved in the design an…
Changes in health behaviours in adults at-risk of chronic disease
While participants showed improvements in dietary indicators, changes in alcohol consumption and physical activity were less amenable to the program. Additional research is needed to help understand the multi-level barriers and facilitators of behaviour change in this context to further tailor the intervention for priority groups
Factors associated with farmers’ use of fee-for-service advisors in a privatized agricultural extension system
The privatization of agricultural advisory and extension services in many countries and the associated pluralism of service providers has renewed interest in farmers’ use of fee-for-service advisors. Understanding farmers’ use of advisory services is important, given the role such services are expected to play in helping farmers address critical environmental and sustainability challenges. This paper aims to identify factors associated with farme…

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…
