The Covid-19 lockdown experience suggests that restricting the supply of gambling can reduce gambling problems
Unambiguous evidence that over half of gambling problems in Australia are caused by electronic gambling machines
Electronic gaming machine accessibility and gambling problems
Gambling prevalence and gambling problems amongst land-based-only, online-only and mixed-mode gamblers in Australia
It started 30 years ago, and it still haunts me”
Viewing the findings from a public health lens, targeted approaches based on specific circumstances may have the potential to minimise harms from gambling, but only for those already experiencing harms. The treatment, policy, and regulatory approaches need to be tailored to address the causes and impacts of harms experienced by people
Prevention Strategies to Address Problematic Gaming
Evaluating changes in electronic gambling machine policy on user losses in an Australian jurisdiction
The analysis demonstrates that reductions in how much money gamblers can insert into an EGM (load-up limit), and/or the abolition of note acceptors, and reductions in the number of EGMs in venues is likely to reduce harm from EGM use. Given the demonstrated inability for Australian jurisdictions to identify and implement effective harm prevention and minimisation interventions, a national approach to gambling regulation in Australia may be desira…
Impact of housing improvement and the socio-physical environment on the mental health of children’s carers
The findings highlight the need for housing programs to be supported by social, behavioral and community-wide environmental programs if potential health gains are to be more fully realized, and for rigorous evaluation of such programs for the purpose of informing future housing initiatives
Changes in exposure to ‘life stressors’ in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, 2002 to 2008
The reduction in exposure to life stressors for the remote Indigenous population may be related to policy and practice changes (e.g. more police, income quarantining, housing construction). The differential change in exposure to life stressors between remote and non-remote locations highlights the importance of presenting data for these geographic locations separately
Gambling, housing conditions, community contexts and child health in remote indigenous communities in the Northern Territory, Australia
The analyses provide evidence that gambling is a significant problem in Indigenous communities and that gambling problems in households is related to poor child health outcomes. A comprehensive (prevention, treatment, regulation and education) public health approach to harm minimisation associated with gambling amongst the Indigenous population is required that builds on current normative community regulation of gambling
Exploring relationships between racism, housing and child illness in remote indigenous communities
BACKGROUND: Although racism is increasingly acknowledged as a determinant of health, few studies have examined the relationship between racism, housing and child health outcomes. METHODS: Cross-sectional data from the Housing Improvement and Child Health study collected in ten remote indigenous communities in the Northern Territory, Australia were analysed using hierarchical logistic regression. Carer and householder self-reported racism was meas…
The impact of housing improvement and socio-environmental factors on common childhood illnesses
BACKGROUND: Improvements in health are an important expected outcome of many housing infrastructure programs. The authors aimed to determine if improvement in the notoriously poor housing infrastructure in Australian Indigenous communities results in reduction in common childhood illness and to identify important mediating factors in this relationship. METHODS: The authors conducted a prospective cohort study of 418 children aged 7 years or young…
Evaluation of an Australian indigenous housing programme
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Housing programmes in indigenous Australian communities have focused largely on achieving good standards of infrastructure function. The impact of this approach was assessed on three potentially important housing-related influences on child health at the community level: (1) crowding, (2) the functional state of the house infrastructure and (3) the hygienic condition of the houses. METHODS: A before-and-after study, including …
Who Plays What? Participation Profiles in Chance Versus Skill-based Gambling
Exploring cross-sectional associations between common childhood illness, housing and social conditions in remote Australian Aboriginal communities
These findings add to other evidence that building programs need to be supported by a range of other social and behavioural interventions for potential health gains to be more fully realised
Failed Arbitrations before the Court of Common Pleas
This article uses data gathered by the University of London, Centre for Metropolitan History's recent project ‘Londoners and the Law: Pleadings in the Court of Common Pleas’, which sampled London-related cases pleaded before the fifteenth-century court of Common Pleas, to analyze the use of arbitration by sub-gentry and mercantile class disputants. It examines the relationship between arbitration and litigation at common law, the volume of London…

Skin infection, housing and social circumstances in children living in remote Indigenous communities
Background Poor housing conditions in remote Indigenous communities in Australia are a major underlying factor in poor child health, including high rates of skin infections. The aim of this study is to test approaches to data collection, analysis and feedback for a follow-up study of the impact of housing conditions on child health. Methods Participation was negotiated in three communities with community councils and individual participants. Data…
Wealth, status and ‘race’ in the Ruthin of Edward II
This article is a case study of the racially mixed, seigniorial borough of Ruthin (modern Denbighshire) in the early fourteenth century. It seeks to explore material inequalities and social aspects of the integration of English and Welsh burgesses in an urban setting. It concludes that whilst a disproportionate quantity of wealth did lie with the borough's English residents, Welsh burgesses enjoyed nearly comprehensive access to the community's w…
Conceptual diagrams in public health research
Constructing a conceptual diagram is as much art as science Conceptual diagrams, models, and frameworks are often used in public health literature to help illustrate relations between health exposures and outcomes. However, it is not always clear what these conceptual tools are describing, what they mean or how best to use, design or present them. In fact, the gaze of even the most critical reader tends to glaze over when suddenly faced with a co…
