Walkability in small rural towns
INTRODUCTION: The evidence base for how the physical environment hinders or supports walking for people living in rural and regional areas, where residents are at high risk for chronic disease and inactivity, is limited. This study investigated the built, physical environmental and spatial characteristics of small rural towns that influence walkability and identified community priorities for action. METHODS: Using a mixed methods approach this st…
Empowering Rural Communities to Measure Walkability
BACKGROUND: Local neighbourhood environments are important for shaping walkability, but few instruments exist to assess walkability in rural areas. Furthermore, there are no existing tools that have been designed with and for communities to collect local data on walkability, which has the potential to empower communities with ownership and knowledge of the resulting information. OBJECTIVE: This paper aimed to describe the development and evaluati…
Subjective well-being of people with disability in Tasmania
Despite recent legislative and policy reforms, people with disability in Australia and globally remain disproportionately affected by inequalities in the social determinants of health. Neighborhoods are recognized as important settings for addressing the social determinants through the livability model of urban planning. However, people with disability remain underrepresented in research investigating livable and health-promoting neighborhoods. T…
Embedding coproduction
Long-term inter-organizational research-policy collaborations that support research coproduction are uncommon and an overlooked preventive health research impact pathway. This study examines how an Australian research-policy coalition involving approximately 25 research and policy members from the Menzies Institute for Medical Research (Menzies), University of Tasmania and Public Health Services, Tasmanian Government Department of Health has evol…
Who stays and who plays? Participant retention and smartphone app usage in a longitudinal travel survey
Longitudinal studies have become increasingly popular for investigating changes in behaviour, but present additional challenges around participant recruitment, retention, engagement with survey tasks, additional burden and ultimately data quality. Personal technologies, particularly smartphones, have become integral to tackling these challenges but come with their own caveats around user acceptance and engagement. The current paper investigates t…
Harnessing citizen science in health promotion
Citizen science is rapidly gaining momentum as a means of involving members of the public in research and decision-making in disease prevention and health promotion. However, citizen science projects have predominantly been led by academic researchers and there is limited understanding of how to support the application of citizen science approaches in policy and practice settings. This study aimed to understand the perceptions, motivations and ea…
Universal child health and early education service use from birth through Kindergarten and developmental vulnerability in the Preparatory Year (age 5 years) in Tasmania, Australia
This study investigated patterns of universal health and education service use from birth through Kindergarten (age 4 years) and estimated associations between cumulative risk and service use patterns, and between service use patterns and children's developmental vulnerability in the Preparatory Year (age 5 years). The study used population‐wide linkage of health and education administrative data records for 5168 children who had a 2018 AEDC inst…
Prevalence and Determinants of Substance Use Among Indigenous Tribes in South India
The Impact on Service Collaboration of Co-location of Early Childhood Services in Tasmanian Child and Family Centres
Co-location of ECS in CFCs contributed to greater cooperation and collaboration between services. However, for the potential of CFCs to be fully realised there remains a need for governance that better integrates service policies, systems and processes that explicitly support collaborative practice
School Breakfast Club Programs in Australian Primary Schools, Not Just Addressing Food Insecurity
Background. Many Australian primary schools have established school breakfast clubs (SBCs) to address concerns about children arriving at school hungry and the subsequent impact on learning but their effectiveness is uncertain. This study aimed to identify the perceived benefits, impacts, operational practices, and challenges of running SBCs. Method. Case studies with 10 Australian primary schools from different socioeconomic and geographic areas…
How outreach facilitates family engagement with universal early childhood health and education services in Tasmania, Australia
tTasmanian early childhood services (ECS) are attempting to improve their engagement with vulnera-ble families and increase the uptake of universal health and education services in this population. Thispaper presents qualitative findings from the [name] Study, focusing on the scope and role of outreachin supporting family engagement in the Tasmanian ECS. Using an ethnographic study design, over 100naturalistic observations were recorded in health…
Childhood factors related to diverging body mass index trajectories from childhood into mid-adulthood
Understanding the gendered nature of weight loss surgery
Internationally, weight loss surgery is primarily undertaken by women (75%). This difference has been attributed to the appearance concerns of women which is a simplistic and unsatisfactory explanation. The study aims to explore the way gender influences the processes leading up to surgery and life after surgery providing important new insights into the differences in uptake of weight loss surgery between men and women. Ten single-gender focus gr…
Partnering Healthy@Work
Research funding is increasingly supporting collaborations between knowledge users and researchers. Partnering Healthy@Work (pH@W), an inaugural recipient of funding through Australia's Partnership for Better Health Grants scheme, was a 5-year partnership between the Menzies Institute for Medical Research, University of Tasmania and the Tasmanian State Service (TSS). The partnerships purpose was to evaluate a comprehensive workplace health promot…
