Population Perspectives on Nurturing Relational Health from Early Life
Opportunities to Improve the Implementation of Relational Health Interventions for Children and Families
Despite the availability of universally delivered evidence-based relational health interventions, their wide-scale translation into practice is slow and unsustained. Measuring implementation outcomes within intervention trials is critical to understand their effectiveness and inform future scaling. This study aimed to determine the extent to which universally delivered relational health interventions measured and reported on implementation outcom…
Mapping What Works to Strengthen the Relational Ecology of Early Child Development
The development of secure bonds between children and adult carers, particularly parents, is determined by a complex ecosystem of relationships that includes parents, care providers in other settings, and the values and institutions that care for those who care for children. Here we conduct a scoping review to map scientific progress in the development of evidence based interventions across all levels of relational ecology of early child developme…
Slushies before school
The external school food environment, comprising food outlets and marketing near schools, shapes what young people eat. Yet little is known about how Australian adolescents perceive and navigate these environments. Focus groups were conducted with 31 school students (Years 7–12) from Perth, Western Australia, to explore their experiences of the external school food environment and its influence on their food-related behaviours. Transcripts were t…
Temptation at the school fence
Retail food outlets are commonly located in close proximity to schools, providing students with opportunities to purchase and consume food enroute to or from school. These outlets are typically unhealthy and disproportionately clustered near schools, and this trend has been increasing over time. While quantitative studies have established associations between school food environments and adolescent dietary behaviours, little is known about how sc…
Children's views on outdoor advertising of unhealthy food and beverages near schools
Children are often exposed to unhealthy outdoor food advertisements during the school commute. This exposure can have negative public health consequences given childhood weight gain has been linked to the marketing of energy-dense and nutrient-poor foods. This study aimed to explore schoolchildren's lived experiences and attitudes towards outdoor advertising surrounding their schools. Seven focus groups with children aged 10-16 years (n = 47) att…
Getting creative
Mental health concerns present significant challenges for Australian youth. Arts organizations play a key role in promoting preventative mental health strategies through enhancing the social and emotional well-being (SEWB) of youth. However, little is known about how the arts promote SEWB and the processes and contexts through which this occurs. This article describes a 2021 workshop conducted on the lands of Whadyuk Noongar in Boorloo, Perth, We…
Gender-Neutral Toilets
School toilets have been identified by sexuality and gender diverse (SGD) students as the least safe spaces in educational institutions. They are sites of verbal, physical and sexual victimisation. Providing gender-neutral toilets in primary and secondary schools may reduce the bullying and victimisation of SGD students, particularly those who are transgender or gender-diverse. This study explored factors influencing the inclusion of gender-neutr…
School Built Environments and Bullying Behaviour
Interest in how the school built environment impacts bullying behaviour has gained momentum in recent years. While numerous studies have identified locations within schools where bullying frequently occurs, few studies have investigated the potential conceptual pathways linking school locations to bullying behaviour. This study aimed to (i) identify school built environment factors that may prevent or facilitate bullying behaviour in primary and …
How does the school built environment impact students’ bullying behaviour? A scoping review
Living liveable? Reside's evaluation of the “Liveable Neighborhoods” planning policy on the health supportive behaviors and wellbeing of residents in Perth, Western Australia
The synthesis of findings suggests that new suburban communities built in accordance with the "Liveable Neighbourhoods" policy have the potential to encourage health supportive behaviors and wellbeing outcomes including transport and recreation walking, and to create neighborhoods with a stronger sense of community where residents may feel safer
Are public open space attributes associated with walking and depression
Can neighborhood green space mitigate health inequalities? A study of socio-economic status and mental health
Quality of Public Open Spaces and Recreational Walking
Objectives. We examined associations between specific public open space (POS) attributes and recreational walking to local POS. Methods. Between October 2004 and December 2006, 1465 adults of the RESIDential Environments Project, conducted in Perth, Australia, reported whether they walk to a POS for recreation. For each participant, we identified all open spaces larger than 0.8 hectares within 1.6 kilometers from home. On the basis of field audit…

Quality or quantity? Exploring the relationship between Public Open Space attributes and mental health in Perth, Western Australia
Associations Between Recreational Walking and Attractiveness, Size, and Proximity of Neighborhood Open Spaces
Objectives. We examined associations of attractiveness, size, and proximity of multiple neighborhood open spaces (NOSs) with recreational walking. Methods. Adults participating in the Residential Environments (RESIDE) study (n = 1366) in Perth, Australia, reported time spent engaging in recreational walking within their neighborhoods. Park audit data and geographic information systems were used to identify the most attractive, largest, and neares…
