Replanting the Birthing Trees to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents and babies
Background: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience intergenerational trauma as a legacy of the impacts of colonisation. Replanting the Birthing Trees (RBT) aims to transform compounding cycles of intergenerational trauma and harm to positively reinforcing cycles of intergenerational nurturing and recovery for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents and babies. This paper describes the protocol for developmental evaluation o…
Wellbeing and quality of life secondary outcomes from a Mediterranean Diet and walking randomised controlled trial in older Australians
Objective: The Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) and physical activity (PA) can enhance mood and support psychological wellbeing in adults. However, the combined effect is relatively unknown. MedWalk aimed to determine the combined effect on wellbeing, psychological health and quality of life, compared to a control group. Design: Analysis of secondary outcomes from the MedWalk 12-month cluster-randomised controlled trial. Participants completed Total …
Safer in School? The Impact of Compulsory Schooling on Maltreatment and Associated Harms
Abused and neglected children are at extreme risk of school dropout, poor health, and destructive behaviours, yet evidence on interventions that prevent maltreatment and its harms is limited. We use a South Australian education reform to examine whether extending the school-leaving age from 16 to 17 improves maltreatment-related outcomes. Using administrative records and regression-discontinuity techniques, we find that the reform reduced first-t…
School absenteeism for children exposed to maternal incarceration and other adversities
Early life exposure to maternal incarceration is associated with absenteeism • The experience of multiple adversities confers an even greater risk to absenteeism. • Out-of-home-care placement is associated with decreased odds of absenteeism. • Effects of adversity exposures on absenteeism are strongest for adolescent children
Neonatal abstinence syndrome and other neonatal outcomes for the infants of women experiencing incarceration
Substance use during pregnancy is associated with poor neonatal outcomes. Women incarcerated during pregnancy may have a history of substance use, and their babies may be at risk of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). This study examines the incidence of NAS and other outcomes in infants born to currently or formerly incarcerated women. Infants born between 1985 and 2011 in Western Australia were divided into three mutually exclusive groups: born…
Numeracy and literacy attainment of children exposed to maternal incarceration and other adversities
Parental incarceration has been associated with educational disadvantages for children, such as lower educational attainment, increased grade retention, and truancy and suspensions. However, children exposed to parental incarceration often experience other adversities that are also associated with educational disadvantage; the contribution of these co-occurring adversities has not been considered in previous research. This study aimed to investig…
Maternal incarceration, child protection, and infant mortality
BACKGROUND: There are no population statistics collected on a routine basis on the children of prisoners in Australia. Accordingly, their potential vulnerability to adverse outcomes remains unclear. This study draws on linked administrative data to describe the exposure of children aged less than 2 years to maternal imprisonment in Western Australia, their contact with child protection services, and infant mortality rates. RESULTS: In Western Aus…
Low birth weight and maternal incarceration in pregnancy
Western Australian infants with mothers imprisoned before or during pregnancy experience elevated risk of low birth weight and exposure to maternal substance use, injury and mental distress in pregnancy
Disrupting Intergenerational Maternal Maltreatment in Middle Childhood
Background: Child Maltreatment is a concerning worldwide problem. The population of distressed mothers with their highly disturbed children, in middle-childhood, often present to child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). Finding effective therapies for this population has proved elusive. This led the authors to undertake a theory-driven research program to better understand intergenerational child maltreatment from a clinical perspecti…
Economic predictors of child maltreatment in an Australian population-based birth cohort
Assessment of the Cost-Benefit Literature on Early Childhood Education for Vulnerable Children
Given international interest in evidence-informed early education policy, we sought to interpret what is often a confusing literature on the performance of early childhood education programs. We explore whether they represent a good return on investment and the factors affecting their transferability. A systematic review was conducted to identify all cost-benefit (C-B) studies of center-based programs enrolling disadvantaged children prior to age…

Interest from Tertiary Educated Persons in Fostering Children with Higher Care Needs under a Professional (Paid) Model Compared with General Foster Care
The number of Australian children requiring foster care due to abuse and neglect is increasing, with more children presenting with high care needs, creating a challenge for the recruitment and retention of foster carers. Carers with higher education recruited as professional foster carers may improve placement stability and outcomes for higher needs children. An e-survey was conducted to explore the level of interest of tertiary students in a pro…

Cost-effectiveness of mandatory folate fortification v . other options for the prevention of neural tube defects
Objective To provide input to Australian and New Zealand government decision making regarding an optimal strategy to reduce the rate of neural tube defects (NTD). Design Standard comparative health economic evaluation techniques were employed for a set of intervention options for promoting folate/folic acid consumption in women capable of or planning a pregnancy. Evidence of effectiveness was informed by the international literature and costs wer…

Cost-Effectiveness of the Primary Prevention of Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus
Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is a chronic disease, with increasing prevalence widely reported. NIDDM is associated with high rates of morbidity and premature mortality and is the cause of high health service use. There is clinical, epidemiological and scientific evidence that NIDDM is potentially preventable through weight loss, enhanced fitness and nutrition modification. The research question addressed in this article is whet…
Colorectal Cancer, Diet and Lifestyle Factors
A considerable amount of observational evidence from case-control and cohort studies demonstrates an association between various dietary and lifestyle factors and risk of colorectal cancer. This suggests the potential for colorectal cancer risk reduction by decreasing consumption of animal fats, red meat, alcohol and cigarettes, by increasing physical activity levels, and by increasing intake of fruits, vegetables and dietary fibre. Few intervent…
