Family dynamics and psychological wellbeing of South Asian migrant youth in Australia
The impact of acculturation and psychological wellbeing on South Asian immigrant adolescents and youth
Among the global immigrant population, one of the fastest growing populations is the South Asian community. South Asian youth have experienced difficulties acculturating to the host culture. These difficulties have caused issues relating to identity and conflicts with family members relating to dating, marriage, and education. This scoping review will aim to summarize the literature available on acculturation and psychological well-being. The sco…

Association between the use of weight management strategies and weight change among Australian adults over 12 months
The use of weight management strategies appears to be common. Being physically active was associated with greater weight loss. Individuals who accepted their current body weight were less likely to use weight management strategies. Fasting and the use of supplements were associated with poorer mental health. Promoting physical activity as a weight management strategy appears important, particularly considering its multiple health benefits

Using Health Check Data to Understand Risks for Dementia and Cognitive Impairment Among Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal Peoples in Northern Queensland—A Data Linkage Study
OBJECTIVE: High rates of dementia are evident in First Nations populations, and modifiable risk factors may be contributing to this increased risk. This study aimed to use a longitudinal dataset to gain insights into the long-term risk and protective factors for dementia and cognitive impairment not dementia (CIND) in a Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal population in Far North Queensland, Australia. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: Probabilistic dat…

Suicidal Ideation in the Australian Construction Industry
Results suggest need for increased understanding of later stage suicidal trajectory drivers in the ACI. Findings indicate need for prevention group/industry concentration on mitigation of psychosocial job adversities, as well as a more nuanced and increased discussion of the negative role of self-reliance and risk-taking domains of traditional masculine norms may play in ACI suicidal ideation, as opposed to the construct as a whole
Refugees at Work
It is widely recognised that employment is vital in assisting young refugees' integration into a new society. Drawing on psychosocial safety climate (PSC) theory, this research investigated the effect of organisational climate on young refugee workers' mental health (psychological distress) through stressful social relational aspects of work (e.g., harassment, discrimination). Drawing on data from 635 young refugees aged between 15 and 26 in Sout…

Family influence on refugee youth education and employment aspirations and choices
During cultural transition, refugee-background youth in Australia must navigate adolescence and the demands of cultural transition and adaptation, including educational and employment decisions. Using a qualitative methodology we report on a study exploring the influence of family – including parents, siblings and extended family members – on youth aspirations and decision-making regarding education and employment pathways. Based on interviews wi…

Identity development for adolescents and youth, is further complicated by simultaneously having to navigate between childhood and adulthood, and expectations of parents, ethnic community, and host society.Objective: This study with refugee-background youth and adults, explored participants’ perceptions of being Australian and their sense of belonging, afte…
Mixed Reality Technology as a Delivery Mechanism for Psychological Intervention in Adolescents With Asthma
Australia has one of the highest asthma prevalence rates in the world, with this chronic and debilitating condition affecting one in nine people. The health and mental wellbeing of young people with asthma are worse than not only their peers without asthma but also worse than that of people with asthma at other ages. Psychological interventions could be beneficial in treating symptoms of elevated psychological distress in patients with asthma. Ho…
WOmen's Action for Mums and Bubs (Womb) Trial Protocol
Introduction: In Australia, there have been improvements in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander maternal health, however inequities remain. There is increasing international evidence illustrating the effectiveness of Participatory Women’s Groups (PWGs) in improving Maternal and Child Health (MCH) outcomes. Using a non-randomised, cluster stepped-wedge implementation of a complex intervention with mixed methods evaluation, this study aims to tes…
Australian school practices and the education experiences of students with a refugee background
Schools have the potential for significant impact on the lives of Australian students with a refugee background. Many of these young people speak at least one language other than English, have previous histories of interrupted schooling or have experienced trauma during times of displacement and forced migration. Combined with the further challenges of settling within an unfamiliar cultural frame, these students experience a range of circumstance…

P2-72 Impact of the introduction of selective COX-2 inhibitors on hospitalisation for gastric bleeding in Australia
Background Selective COX-2 inhibitors (coxibs) have been shown to be advantageous for gastrointestinal safety in several large studies but whether this translates into fewer events at the population level is unclear. Aim To examine the relationship between prescriptions for nonselective NSAIDs, selective COX-2 inhibitors (coxibs), H2-receptor antagonists (H2RA) and protein pump inhibitors (PPI), and hospital separations for upper gastro-intestina…

Consumer perceptions of safety in hospitals
The experience of adverse events negatively impacted on public confidence in hospitals. The consumer-reported adverse event rate in hospitals (7.0%) is similar to that identified using medical record review. Based on estimates from other studies, self-reported claims of adverse events in hospital by consumers appear credible, and should be considered when developing appropriate treatment regimes
