Effectiveness of a Digital Screening and Navigation Model in Addressing Unmet Social Needs among Parents and Caregivers in Priority Population Groups
Introduction: Children and families from priority populations (e.g. culturally and linguistically diverse and regional/rural communities) often experience significant psychosocial challenges and barriers to accessing health and social care. These inequities were further exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Integrating social care with health services has been proposed as an approach to improve service access and address unmet needs. Methods:…
Economic deprivation as a mediator in the relationship between housing affordability stress and mental and general health among humanitarian migrants in Australia
BACKGROUND: Housing is a critical social determinant of health for migrant and refugee populations in high-income countries; however, the causal pathways linking housing affordability to health outcomes remain underexplored. This study aimed to examine the relationship between housing affordability stress and both mental and general health, and to assess the role of economic deprivation as a mediator of this relationship. METHODS: This study uses…
Innovative Policy Supports for Integration in Health and Social Care Focused on Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Populations in Australia
The fragmented nature of Australian health and social care systems present a barrier to integrated care. Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities are recognised as a priority population with unmet health and social needs. This study describes policy supports for programs that promote health and social care integration with a CALD focus, including governance and partnerships; workforce and staffing; funding and payment; and data sh…

Essential Epidemiology is a clear, engaging and methodological introduction to the subject. Now in its fifth edition, the text has been thoroughly updated. Its trademark clear and consistent pedagogical structure makes challenging topics accessible, while the local and international examples, inclu…
Attributable risk of suicide for populations in Australia
Considerable reductions in the overall suicide rate in Australia may occur if risk factors are addressed in identified populations with large PAF estimates. These estimates should be considered as an adjunct to other important inputs into suicide prevention policy priorities
Determinants and health outcomes of trajectories of social mobility in Australia
Decreasing SEP was associated with poor health outcomes, and increasing SEP with better health outcomes. A range of socio-demographic and psychosocial determinants of SEP trajectories were identified to inform policy responses that could modify trajectories of health inequalities in the Australian context
Impact of pesticide regulations on mortality from suicide by pesticide in China
Declines in suicide by pesticide in China occurred contemporaneously with regulatory bans and restrictions implemented on several pesticides, particularly in urban areas, among female individuals, and the relatively low age profile. These findings indicate the potential influence of these bans on trends of suicide by pesticides
Integrated health and social care with a Cald focus
Background: Underrepresented and underserved communities such as culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) groups experience higher reported prevalence and severity of multimorbidity along with unmet social needs and disadvantages in accessing services. Minority populations report higher rates of emergency department presentations globally and nationally and it is understood that services are more frequently accessed on consumer initiative whe…

Pathways Linking Housing Inequalities and Health Outcomes among Migrant and Refugee Populations in High-Income Countries
Several high-income countries are currently experiencing an unprecedented and multifaceted housing crisis. The crisis is escalating rapidly, and its negative ramifications are shared disproportionately by migrant and refugee communities. Although housing is often cited as an important social determinant of health, the relationship between housing inequalities and health outcomes in the context of migrant and refugee populations remain under-explo…
Indigeneity and Likelihood of Discharge to Psychiatric Hospital in an Australian Deliberate Self-Poisoning Hospital-Treated Cohort
Hospital-treated self-harm rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) people are at least double those for other Australians. Despite this, limited research has explored the relationship between Indigeneity and the clinical management of hospital-treated deliberate self-harm. A retrospective clinical cohort study (2003-2012) at a regional referral centre (NSW) for deliberate self-poisoning was used to explore the magnitude and d…
Employment Transitions and Mental Health in a Cohort of 45 Years and Older Australians
Background: This study investigated the associations between employment transitions and psychological distress among a cohort of 45 years and older Australians. Methods: This study was based on the 45 and Up Study, a large prospective cohort of participants aged 45 years and older (N = 267,153), followed up over the period 2006-2015. The risk of psychological distress was compared between various employment transitions categories by specifying an…
Trends and determinants of HIV transmission among men who inject drugs in the Pokhara Valley, Nepal
The prevalence of HIV in male PWIDs in Pokhara has been variable, but overall has reduced in recent years to 2.6% before increasing in 2017 to 4.9%. The main determinants which increase the risk of HIV among male PWIDs in Pokhara are low education level, a lack of treatment for drug addiction and the recent use of unsterilised equipment. Each of these indicate the need to improve addiction treatment and education programs for intra-venous drug us…
Estimating patterns in the under-reporting of suicide deaths in India
BACKGROUND: It has been proposed that the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), which reports suicides in India, differentially underenumerates suicides by geographic and demographic factors. We assessed the extent of potential underenumeration by comparing suicides recorded in NCRB data with recent estimates of Indian suicides developed by the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) initiative. METHODS: Age-standardised suicide rates were calculated for …

Development of a Self-Harm Monitoring System for Victoria
The prevention of suicide and suicide-related behaviour are key policy priorities in Australia and internationally. The World Health Organization has recommended that member states develop self-harm surveillance systems as part of their suicide prevention efforts. This is also a priority under Australia's Fifth National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Plan. The aim of this paper is to describe the development of a state-based self-harm monit…
Trends and determinants of underweight and overweight/obesity among urban Ethiopian women from 2000 to 2016
The prevalence of overweight/obesity increased from 2000 to 2016, with a concurrent reduction in the prevalence of underweight. Interventions aiming to reduce overweight and obesity should target urban women with higher education, those who resided in wealthier households and those who watched the television
Trends and factors associated with complementary feeding practices in Ethiopia from 2005 to 2016
Introducing appropriate complementary feeding at 6 months of age is crucial for the optimal growth and development of an infant. In Ethiopia, however, no previous national-level studies have examined the trends and associated factors of complementary feeding practices. The aim of this study is to investigate the trends and determinants of complementary feeding practices in Ethiopia from 2005 to 2016. The study was conducted using the Ethiopia Dem…
The Impact of Reducing Psychiatric Beds on Suicide Rates
There has been ongoing debate regarding the impact of reductions in psychiatric beds on suicide rates, and the potential effect of reallocation of acute hospital funding to community-based mental health programs and services. Computer simulation offers significant value in advancing such debate by providing a robust platform for exploring strategic resource allocation scenarios before they are implemented in the real world. We report an applicati…
Perinatal Distress and Depression in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (Cald) Australian Women

The role of under-employment and unemployment in recent birth cohort effects in Australian suicide
Prevalence of Nonsuicidal Self‐Injury in Nonclinical Samples
Published prevalence estimates of nonsuicidal self‐injury (NSSI) among nonclinical samples are highly heterogeneous, raising concerns about their reliability and hindering attempts to explore the alleged increase in NSSI over time. Accordingly, the objectives of this study were to investigate the influence of methodological factors on heterogeneity in NSSI prevalence estimates, explore changes over time, and estimate overall international NSSI pr…
The Impact of Water and Sanitation on Childhood Mortality in Nigeria
In Nigeria, approximately 109 million and 66 million people lack access to sanitation facilities and water, respectively. This study aimed to determine whether children under 5 years old without access to improved water and sanitation facilities are at higher risk of death in Nigeria. Pooled 2003, 2008 and 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey data were used to examine the impact of water and sanitation on deaths of children aged 0-28 days, …
Determinants of neonatal mortality in Nigeria
Our study suggests that the Nigerian government needs to invest more in the healthcare system to ensure quality care for women and newborns. Community-based intervention is also required and should focus on child spacing, childbearing at a younger age, and poverty eradication programs, particularly in rural areas, to reduce avoidable neonatal deaths in Nigeria
Social connections and suicidal behaviour in young Australian adults
A greater number of social connections was significantly associated with reduced odds of suicide or attempt. This suggests that suicide prevention initiatives that promote increased social connections at an individual, familial, and wider social levels might be effective
Household Air Pollution and Under-Five Mortality in Bangladesh (2004–2011)
Household air pollution (HAP) is one of the leading causes of respiratory illness and deaths among children under five years in Bangladesh. This study investigates the association between HAP from cooking fuel and under-five mortality using Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) datasets over the period 2004-2011 (n = 18,308 children), and the extent to which this association differed by environmental and behavioral factors affecting lev…
Determinants of suboptimal breastfeeding practices in Nigeria
Socio-economic and health service factors were associated with suboptimal breastfeeding practices in Nigeria. To improve the current breastfeeding practices, breastfeeding initiatives should target all mothers - particularly low SES mothers - including, national and sub-national health policies that ensure improved access to maternal health services, and improvements to baby friendly hospital and community initiatives for mothers
All-age hospitalization rates in coal seam gas areas in Queensland, Australia, 1995–2011
This exploratory study of all-age hospitalization rates for three study areas in Queensland suggests that certain hospital admissions rates increased more quickly in the CSG study area than in other study areas, particularly the rural area, after adjusting for key sociodemographic factors. These findings are an important first step in identifying potential health impacts of CSG in the Australian context and serve to generate hypotheses for future…
Spatiotemporal variation in diabetes mortality in China
Declines in diabetes mortality between 2006 and 2012 have been unequally distributed across China, which may imply differentials in diagnosis, management, and the provision of services that warrant further investigation
