Evidence asymmetry in Australian public spending
Australian Commonwealth portfolio expenditure operates under structurally asymmetric evidentiary standards that disproportionately burden the Health portfolio and distort cross-portfolio funding decisions. Despite comparable fiscal scale, Health (AU$70.8 billion projected for 2025–26) is subject to rigorous formal evaluation through mechanisms such as the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee and Medical Services Advisory Committee, while po…
The impact of disasters on maternal mental health
Background: The vulnerability of maternal mental health is increasing with the frequent increase in natural and man-made disasters, yet evidence remains fragmented. We aimed to synthesise quantitative evidence on the impact of disaster exposure on maternal mental health and related pregnancy outcomes. Methods: We systematically searched 12 electronic databases, nine sub-databases, and additional web sources for the studies published between 1995 …
Paramedics’ role in healthcare delivery in short-term police custody in Queensland, Australia
Provision of healthcare within short-term custody settings such as police watch-houses presents a complex public health challenge. This area has received limited attention in the literature, particularly the viewpoints of paramedics, who are a key link in the chain of healthcare. This study aimed to describe paramedics’ decision-making practices and procedures regarding the transport of patients from the watch-house to the emergency department. A…
Caring For Their Pet More Than Themselves”
Homelessness is a significant social problem internationally and some people who are homeless rely on their companion animal for comfort and support. It is unknown what attitudes Australian communities have regarding people who are homeless and have a companion animal. This study aims to explore public attitudes and knowledge about the issues homeless people with a companion animal are likely to experience in their daily lives. 125 non-homeless i…
Smartphone Use and Willingness to Pay for HIV Treatment-Assisted Smartphone Applications among HIV-Positive Patients in Urban Clinics of Vietnam
This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-assisted smartphone applications in the treatment of HIV/AIDS patients in Vietnam. A cross-sectional study was performed in two urban outpatient clinics in Hanoi from May to December 2019. A simple random sampling method and a structured questionnaire were used to recruit 495 eligible participants and to collect data. Multivariable modified Poisson regression and …
Can Administrative Health Data Improve the Gold Standard? Evidence from a Model of the Progression of Myocardial Infarction
Background : Myocardial infarction (MI), remains one of the leading causes of death and disability globally but publications on the progression of MI using data from the real world are limited. Multistate models have been widely used to estimate transition rates between disease states to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of healthcare interventions. We apply a Bayesian multistate hidden Markov model to investigate the progression of MI using a long…
Weather Trumps Festivity? More Cardiovascular Disease Events Occur in Winter than in December Holidays in Queensland, Australia
Objective: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of hospitalisations and deaths in Australia. This study estimates the excess CVD hospitalisations and deaths across seasons and during the December holidays in Queensland, Australia. Methods: The study uses retrospective, longitudinal, population-based cohort data from Queensland, Australia from January 2010 to December 2015. The outcomes were hospitalisations and deaths categorised as …
Development of a preference-based heart disease-specific health state classification system using MacNew heart disease-related quality of life instrument
Development of a classification (descriptive) system for a preference‐based quality of life measure for dental caries (dental caries utility index) among adolescents
The classification system developed herein is considered an amenable tool for the subsequent development of a new PBM for dental caries. Once the scoring algorithm is completed, the classification system can be used to incorporate economic evaluations of dental caries health interventions

The Economic Impacts of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in an Australian Cohort
Objectives This study aims to estimate direct and indirect health economic costs associated with government and out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditure based on health care service utilisation7 and lost income of participants and carers, as reported by Australian Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) patient survey participants. Design A cost of illness study was conducted to estimate Australian cost data for individuals with a ME/C…
Public Preferences for the Use of Taxation and Labelling Policy Measures to Combat Obesity in Young Children in Australia
Objective : Childhood obesity is a serious concern for developed and developing countries. This study aimed to assess the level of support in Australia for regulation and to assess whether systematic differences occur between individuals who support increased regulation and individuals who oppose it. Methods : An online survey ( n = 563) was used to assess parental/caregiver preferences for taxation policy options and nutrition labelling designed…
Comparison of the EQ-5D-3L and the SF-6D (SF-12) contemporaneous utility scores in patients with cardiovascular disease
Estimating the economic costs of skin cancer in New South Wales, Australia
This research provides new evidence on the economic cost of skin cancer and provides policy makers with information of the potential monetary savings that may arise from efforts to reduce the incidence of skin cancer
Alcopops, taxation and harm
Reduced tax on RTDs was associated with increasing ED presentations for acute alcohol problems among young women. The alcopops tax was associated with declining presentations in young to middle-aged persons of both sexes, including under-age drinkers
Yes, The Government Should Tax Soft Drinks
Taxation has been suggested as a possible preventive strategy to address the serious public health concern of childhood obesity. Understanding the public's viewpoint on the potential role of taxation is vital to inform policy decisions if they are to be acceptable to the wider community. A Citizens' Jury is a deliberative method for engaging the public in decision making and can assist in setting policy agendas. A Citizens' Jury was conducted in …
The cost-effectiveness and consumer acceptability of taxation strategies to reduce rates of overweight and obesity among children in Australia
The health care costs of managing rising levels of obesity are a challenge for all governments. This study will provide a unique contribution to the international knowledge base by engaging a variety of robust research techniques, with a multidisciplinary focus and be responsive to consumers from diverse socio-economic backgrounds
