Development of a Health Text Message System to Support Stroke Prevention
OBJECTIVES: Globally, stroke is a common cause of death and disability. More than 80% of strokes are reported to be preventable through effective management of modifiable risk factors. Text messages can encourage changes in health behaviour. The Love Your Brain project involves the development and evaluation of a digital health platform for stroke prevention in Australia. In this study, we aimed to develop a text message system and content for th…
Co‐Designing a Digital Stroke Prevention Platform
BACKGROUND: The majority of strokes are preventable through effective risk factor management. Existing primary prevention strategies have insufficient reach and effectiveness. Digital health technologies offer the potential to overcome some of these barriers. The aim of this study was to co-design the 'Love Your Brain' digital platform, including an online education program (Massive Open Online Course, MOOC) and text messaging system, for communi…
Processes Underpinning Successful Co‐Design
Background Co‐design helps to align research with end‐user needs, but there is no consistent method for reporting co‐design methodology and evaluation. We share our experiences co‐designing the Love Your Brain digital platform for stroke prevention. We evaluated the core attributes that guided our co‐design approach, including recruitment, focus group coordination, participant engagement and satisfaction. Methods Online co‐design focus groups wer…
The contribution of urban green and blue spaces to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals
Urban green and blue spaces (UGBS) have the potential to make a significant contribution to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Research shows the need for UGBS to mitigate the adverse environmental impacts of urbanisation and provide equitable access to resources that reduce social and health inequalities. However, no previous review has attempted to consolidate this evidence within the context of the SDGs. The aim of this …

Does My Program Really Make a Difference? Program Evaluation Utilizing Aggregate Single-Subject Data
In the current climate of increasing fiscal and clinical accountability, information is required about overall program effectiveness using clinical data. These requests present a challenge for programs utilizing single-subject data due to the use of highly individualized behavior plans and behavioral monitoring. Subsequently, the diversity of the client-specific programming does not yield data that are easily aggregated to inform program evaluati…

Constructing rape
This paper aims to clarify conflicting accounts of the fundamental elements of rape law and its interpretation in Japan. The central question is how judges in Japan understand rape and sexual violation more generally. The paper is part of a larger project that explores the process of judicial decision making in Japan and, in particular, the social context shaping those decisions. I use a qualitative analysis of 41 cases involving sexual assaults …

A man is a clumsy thing who does not know how to handle a sick person
The history of the emergence of male nurses in South Africa and the concomitant debates about training, employment and policy concerning male nurses, particularly black male nurses, forms the subject of this paper. The paper argues that the silence around the existence of male nurses in South Africa was produced by both white health officials and broader public discourses around appropriate masculine roles and careers, as well as by the associati…
Sex Lessons from the Past
Heightened adolescent sexual activity and awareness is not something new, writes CATHERINE BURNS. She traces the history of sexuality in Southern Africa and points out that past sexuality education, sex practices and regulations offer us valuable and relevant lessons today
