Towards healthier food choices for hospital staff and visitors
Objective: To determine the impact of a healthy food and drink policy on hospital staff and visitors’ food purchasing behaviours, and their awareness and support for the changes introduced. Design: Two repeated cross-sectional surveys, consisting of intercept interviews and observations of food items purchased, were conducted before (March–July 2018) and after (April–June 2019) the target date for implementation of thirteen food and drink practic…
Weight change among repeat participants of an Aboriginal community-based weight loss program
While individuals benefit from weight loss through program participation, strengthening strategies for weight loss maintenance within or following the program could improve long-term weight outcomes and reduce weight cycling
Sociodemographic factors associated with food insecurity
Objective: To determine the prevalence and sociodemographic factors associated with food insecurity in the state of New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Design: Cross-sectional analysis of food insecurity data collected by the NSW Population Health Survey between 2003 and 2014. Multiple logistic regression was used to examine associations with key sociodemographic variables. Setting: NSW, Australia. Participants: 212 608 survey participants responde…
Survival of HIV-positive patients starting antiretroviral therapy between 1996 and 2013
BACKGROUND: Health care for people living with HIV has improved substantially in the past two decades. Robust estimates of how these improvements have affected prognosis and life expectancy are of utmost importance to patients, clinicians, and health-care planners. We examined changes in 3 year survival and life expectancy of patients starting combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) between 1996 and 2013. METHODS: We analysed data from 18 Europe…
O3-1.5 Using data linkage to explore use of GP services by smokers
Introduction It is understood how confounding of mediator-outcome associations resulting in collider biases may cause error when estimating direct and indirect effects. Here we assess the impact of non-differential and independent measurement error of the exposure and mediator. Methods We used as a motivating example the association of childhood socioeconomic position (exposure) with adult psychological distress (outcome), and possible mediation …
