The Development and Acceptability of a Psychology‐Based Intervention for Debilitating Symptom Complexes Attributed to Ticks
BACKGROUND: Debilitating Symptom Complexes Attributed to Ticks (DSCATT) is a chronic, debilitating illness associated with tick bites in Australia. DSCATT is of unknown aetiology, can impact emotional well-being and has no recognised treatments. OBJECTIVE: The development and piloting of a novel psychotherapeutic adjunctive intervention for DSCATT that aimed to increase daily functioning, improve quality of life and reduce the impact of symptoms …
Implementing digital interventions for co-occurring mental health and alcohol and other drug use problems in health and community settings
Mental health and alcohol and other drug use problems consistently dominate the top causes of disease burden in Australians. eHealth stands to be a key tool in addressing these issues but is not routinely well-integrated into service provision models. This study will evaluate the uptake of the digital ecosystem and website, eCliPSE [electronic Clinical Pathways to Service Excellence], developed to improve the symptoms of mental health and alcohol…

Preference inversion in discrete choice experiments
Preference inversion - where preference estimates do not align with the hierarchical order of attribute levels-remains a concern in health valuation studies. To address this, we developed a novel visual aid, the emoji scale, comprising five Apple Unicode emoji characters to represent five levels of a health-related quality-of-life measure. Using a case study of the Recovering Quality of Life - Utility index instrument, we explored whether the emo…
Are recessions bad for loneliness
Loneliness is a pressing public health concern with significant economic, health and social consequences. This paper examines the impact of economic downturns, particularly unemployment and job loss perception, on loneliness in Australia. Using a fixed-effects panel regression applied to 19 waves of data, we find that unemployment is significantly linked to an increased likelihood of experiencing loneliness and other dimensions of social health, …

Attributable risk of suicide for populations in Australia
Considerable reductions in the overall suicide rate in Australia may occur if risk factors are addressed in identified populations with large PAF estimates. These estimates should be considered as an adjunct to other important inputs into suicide prevention policy priorities
Cost-Utility Analysis of a School-Based Universal Program for the Prevention of Anxiety, Depression, and Substance Use
Development of algorithms for estimating the Child Health Utility 9D from Caregiver Priorities and Child Health Index of Life with Disabilities
This study established algorithms for estimating CHU9D utilities from CPCHILD scores for non-ambulatory children with CP. The determined algorithms can be valuable for estimating quality-adjusted life years for cost-utility analysis when only the CPCHILD instrument is available. However, further studies with larger sample sizes and external validation are recommended to validate these findings

Quality of life impacts associated with comorbid insomnia and depression in adult population
Comorbid depression and insomnia appear to have very large quality-of-life impacts. Furthermore, this is the first study that has estimated the magnitude of the impact of comorbid insomnia and depression on utility scores which can be utilised in future clinical or economic studies
Health-related quality of life and utility values among patients with anxiety and/or depression in a low-income tertiary care setting
Older age, severity or co-diagnosis of anxiety or depression and comorbid conditions were associated with lower HRQoL, highlighting the need for better interventions to improve the HRQoL of patients with anxiety and depression in Ethiopia
The association between loneliness with health service use and quality of life among informal carers in Australia
The findings of this study highlight the relationship between loneliness on both healthcare utilization and carers' overall well-being. Addressing loneliness through targeted interventions and social support systems can help improve health outcomes and potentially reduce the overall healthcare costs among informal carers in Australia

How well do the adult social care outcomes toolkit for carers, carer experience scale and care-related quality of life capture aspects of quality of life important to informal carers in Australia
The content of the three instruments appears relevant in an Australian setting. The influence of care recipient's health and well-being on carer QoL should be considered, along with spillover effects. A content and/or face validity analysis is required to confirm differences in item interpretation in Australian informal carers
Examining the psychometric properties of a split version of the EQ-5D-5L anxiety/depression dimension in patients with anxiety and/or depression
Adopting two subdimensions within the EQ-5D-5L tool appears to perform slightly better than the standard EQ-5D-5L
A randomized wait-list controlled trial of Men in Mind
Improved engagement of men in psychotherapy is an essential element in improving male health outcomes. This trial examined whether the Men in Mind intervention improved practitioners' self-rated clinical competencies to engage and respond to male clients in therapy. A parallel, single-blind, wait-list randomized controlled trial was conducted with Australian-based mental health practitioners, currently administering psychotherapy to males, fluent…
Sleeping Sound Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
BACKGROUND: Behavioural sleep problems are common in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); however, evidence for the efficacy of behavioural sleep interventions is limited. This study examined the efficacy of a brief behavioural sleep intervention in autistic children. It was hypothesised that the intervention would reduce overall child sleep problems (primary outcome), in addition to improvements in children's social, emotional, cognitiv…
Follow‐up of the Cool Little Kids translational trial into middle childhood
BACKGROUND: Public health advocates have highlighted internalising problems as a leading cause of global burden of disease. Internalising problems (anxiety/depression) affect up to 20% of school-age children and can impact peer relations, school engagement and later employment and mortality. This translational trial aimed to determine whether a selective/indicated parenting group programme to prevent internalising distress in shy/inhibited presch…

Quality of life and loneliness post-bereavement
Older people experience bereavements more often than any other age group. National survey data collected across Australia from 633 bereaved adults aged 65+ years showed that 21% met the criteria for prolonged grief. Their quality of life was significantly lower and loneliness significantly higher compared to older people in the general population. Risk factors for the low quality of life and high loneliness post-bereavement included being female,…
More than cost‐effectiveness? Applying a second‐stage filter to improve policy decision making
BACKGROUND: Apart from cost-effectiveness, considerations like equity and acceptability may affect health-care priority setting. Preferably, priority setting combines evidence evaluation with an appraisal procedure, to elicit and weigh these considerations. OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate a structured approach for eliciting and evaluating a broad range of assessment criteria, including key stakeholders' values, aiming to support decision makers in prio…

Combining whole‐school and targeted programs for the reduction of bullying victimization
Despite the extensive evaluation of school‐based interventions for bullying, victimization remains a significant problem in schools. Bullying victimization is significantly predicted by contextual (school‐related) factors. As a consequence whole‐school programs have been commonly used to prevent and reduce bullying victimization. Evidence also points to individual risk factors (such as emotional distress) in predicting victimization, yet programs…
Sex differences in psychological distress, behavioural and emotional problems, and substance use in young people in out‐of‐home care
The aim of the study was to examine sex differences in self‐reported psychological distress, behavioural and emotional problems, and substance use in young people living in out‐of‐home care (OoHC). One hundred seventy‐six young people aged 12–17 years (females 53.4%) in OoHC in metropolitan Melbourne, Australia, were interviewed. Participants completed self‐report measures: Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, Strengths and Difficulties Question…

The impact of depression on health-related quality of life and wellbeing
This study has shown that psychosocial dimensions of HRQoL have the greatest ability to capture the impact of depression when compared with dimensions of capability wellbeing and SWB. Some MAUIs, such as the AQoL-8D, are sensitive to most distinguishing dimensions of HRQoL and wellbeing, which may obviate the need for supplementary wellbeing instruments
