Respiratory symptoms after coalmine fire and pandemic
The aim of this study was to determine whether the effects of extreme but discrete PM 2.5 exposure from a coal mine fire on respiratory symptoms abated, persisted, or worsened over time, and whether they were exacerbated by COVID-19. We analysed longitudinal survey data from a cohort residing near a 2014 coalmine fire in regional Australia. A 2016/2017 survey included 4,056 participants, of whom 612 were followed-up in 2022. Items included respir…
Rasch and Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Community Wellbeing Index
Community wellbeing assessment is of growing interest in governance and policy-making. This study investigated the validity and reliability of the Community Wellbeing Index (CWI), assessing community wellbeing from an individual’s perspective, across independent international datasets. The CWI was translated from the original Spanish into English and Setswana and was administered to participants from established research cohorts in Spain ( n = 1,…
Preparation, Participation and Impact (PPI)
Place-based approaches (PBAs) are becoming increasingly popular across government, public health research and practice to improve health and wellbeing in areas of poor health and disadvantage. As a relatively new approach, the literature on best practice for PBAs is emergent, and delivery methods are often diverse. We explored the essential key principles and considerations for best practice, with the aim of developing a framework for PBAs. Using…
Teacher-student interactions in emergency remote teaching contexts
Somatic symptoms, psychological distress and trauma after disasters
Results highlight the high prevalence of somatic symptoms and their association with general psychological distress and posttraumatic stress within a community in the midst of a second large-scale smoke event. It is essential that healthcare providers and public health authorities consider the interconnections of these conditions when supporting communities affected by climate-related disasters
Exploring community engagement in place-based approaches in areas of poor health and disadvantage
A scoping review was conducted to explore the characteristics, barriers, and enablers of community engagement in place-based approaches to improving health outcomes in a designated area of poor health and disadvantage. The Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews was used. Forty articles met the inclusion criteria of which 31 were conducted in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, or Australia, and 70% used qualitative methods…
The social justice issues of smoke im/mobilities
In 2014, the Hazelwood mine fire burned for 45 days.Local communities were impacted by smoke and ash, and there were reports of raised carbon monoxide levels.Local news and social media reported residents experiencing numerous physical symptoms of smoke inhalation, including bleeding noses, coughing, wheezing and chest tightness.Paper masks to filter particulate matter were made available to residents to wear outside.The dust and ash constantly s…
The psychological impacts of a smoke event on young adults compared to other aged adults in Victoria, Australia
The impact of a mine fire and smoke event on academic outcomes for primary and secondary school students
This study explored how exposure to a mine fire and smoke event influenced students' academic outcomes.The academic results for 303 students (aged 7.8-16.2 years) were accessed and students completed the Children's Revised Impact of Events Scale to measure their level of distress resulting from the mine fire.The longitudinal analysis found that secondary students, who attended schools in the town most exposed to particulate matter from the mine f…

Children’s Perspectives on the Impact of the Hazelwood Mine Fire and Subsequent Smoke Event
Associations between Respiratory Health Outcomes and Coal Mine Fire PM2.5 Smoke Exposure
In 2014, wildfires ignited a fire in the Morwell open cut coal mine, Australia, which burned for six weeks. This study examined associations between self-reported respiratory outcomes in adults and mine fire-related PM 2.5 smoke exposure. Self-reported data were collected as part of the Hazelwood Health Study Adult Survey. Eligible participants were adult residents of Morwell. Mine fire-related PM 2.5 concentrations were provided by the Commonwea…
Disaster Impacts on Students and Staff from a Specialist, Trauma-Informed Australian School
Hurricanes and wildfires
This paper explores the question: to what extent is human community adaptive capacity generic versus hazard-specific? To what extent does having adaptive capacity for one type of disturbance indicate that communities also have adaptive capacity for other types of disturbance that they currently or may someday face? We did in-depth case studies in two Lee County, Florida communities to explore the extent to which residents have adaptive capacity f…
Preventing social isolation in later life
The isolation of older people is recognised as a major social problem in contemporary Western society. While the risk factors and social or health outcomes of isolation and loneliness in later life are well documented, evidence regarding the effectiveness of programmes aimed at reducing social isolation in older people remains inconclusive. This paper reports on the challenges of attempting to undertake a rigorous evaluation of three demonstratio…
Strengthening socio-ecological resilience through disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation
Global environmental change and climate change are rapidly altering the world's socio-ecological systems and affecting human populations at multiple scales. Important manifestations of these changes are hazard and disaster events. The emerging fields of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction provide significant opportunities to avoid and/or reduce many of the negative consequences associated with such events. Reviewing current atte…
