    Open AccessBasil Mathews, Kausar Parvin et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2026

    Online child sexual victimization (OCSV) is increasingly prevalent, but little evidence exists about associated health outcomes. This study investigates whether two types of OCSV – nonconsensual sharing of sexual images, and sexual solicitation by an adult – are associated with health risk behaviours and mental disorders. This study analyzed data from the Australian Child Maltreatment Study (ACMS), a nationally representative cross-sectional surv…

  • Activating community co‐ownership of work‐related mental health

    Open AccessCorina Crisan, Pieter A van Dijk et al.ARTICLEAustralian Journal of Public…2025Referencias: 10

    Reaching and engaging workers who are reluctant, unwilling, or unable to access relevant information and timely support through their workplace or mainstream avenues is a critical policy issue in Australia and worldwide. Cross‐sector alliances between community organisations, statutory bodies, and healthcare providers can expand the reach of initiatives that address worker mental health. However, there is limited understanding of how these allian…

  • A socio-ecological perspective on behavioural interventions to influence food choice in schools

    Open AccessLindsey Moore, Laurence Moore et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2013

    Objective An increasing focus on legislation, policy and guidance on the nutritional content of school food has in part been in response to the limited impact of more behavioural or educational approaches. However, there is a risk that a sole focus on policy-level action may lead to neglect of the important contribution that more behavioural approaches can make as components of effective, coordinated, multilevel action to improve the dietary inta…

  • Interventions for preventing obesity in children

    Elizabeth Waters, Andrea De Silva et al.ARTICLECochrane Database of Systematic…2011

    BACKGROUND: Prevention of childhood obesity is an international public health priority given the significant impact of obesity on acute and chronic diseases, general health, development and well-being.

OBJECTIVES: This review primarily aims to update the previous…

  • A Prospective Study of Diet Quality and Mental Health in Adolescents

    Open AccessFelice N Jacka, Peter Kremer et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2011

    OBJECTIVES: A number of cross-sectional and prospective studies have now been published demonstrating inverse relationships between diet quality and the common mental disorders in adults. However, there are no existing prospective studies of this association in adolescents, the onset period of most disorders, limiting inferences regarding possible causal relationships. METHODS: In this study, 3040 Australian adolescents, aged 11-18 years at basel…

  • The VicGeneration study - a birth cohort to examine the environmental, behavioural and biological predictors of early childhood caries

    Open AccessAndrea De Silva, Andrea M de Silva-Sanigorski et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    There is currently a lack of research describing the natural history of early childhood caries in very young children, or exploring the interactions between risk and protective factors that extend to include contemporary measures of socio-behavioural factors. This study will generate knowledge about pathways, prevalence and preventive opportunities for early childhood caries, the most prevalent child health inequality
