Walkability in small rural towns
INTRODUCTION: The evidence base for how the physical environment hinders or supports walking for people living in rural and regional areas, where residents are at high risk for chronic disease and inactivity, is limited. This study investigated the built, physical environmental and spatial characteristics of small rural towns that influence walkability and identified community priorities for action. METHODS: Using a mixed methods approach this st…
Empowering Rural Communities to Measure Walkability
BACKGROUND: Local neighbourhood environments are important for shaping walkability, but few instruments exist to assess walkability in rural areas. Furthermore, there are no existing tools that have been designed with and for communities to collect local data on walkability, which has the potential to empower communities with ownership and knowledge of the resulting information. OBJECTIVE: This paper aimed to describe the development and evaluati…
Climate-related healthy housing risk factors
The profound effects of climate change jeopardise the ability of housing to protect human health and wellbeing. Citizen science, with its potential for generating data and engaging individuals and communities in action, is an important addition to the suite of tools needed to prepare our housing for this reality. Our scoping review assessed how citizen science approaches have been used to identify and address climate-related housing risk factors …
Moving from the unknown to the known
Human skeletal remains were recovered from Sandy Point, Victoria.The absence of circumstantial information and the poor preservation (i.e. skeletonized) of the remains precluded the formation of an identification hypothesis, rendering the identification process complex.Only through the integration of anthropology, odontology, molecular biology, radiocarbon dating, historical research, and genealogy were the remains able to be identified as Mr. Ch…
How can local government be better supported to collaborate for community health and wellbeing
Collaboration is a key strategy among local governments as expectations of the sector grow and resources to meet them fall short. Thus, more research is needed to consider how local governments can be supported to collaborate with others, not least for community health and wellbeing outcomes. In an earlier study, we explored inter‐municipal cooperation using social network analysis and local government perspectives on community health and wellbei…
Harnessing citizen science in health promotion
Citizen science is rapidly gaining momentum as a means of involving members of the public in research and decision-making in disease prevention and health promotion. However, citizen science projects have predominantly been led by academic researchers and there is limited understanding of how to support the application of citizen science approaches in policy and practice settings. This study aimed to understand the perceptions, motivations and ea…
Inter‐municipal cooperation and local government perspectives on community health and wellbeing
Globally, local governments face increasing service delivery demands and citizen expectations, including in relation to community health and wellbeing. Inter‐municipal cooperation is one strategy to respond to those demands. In Australia, however, there is limited empirical research about the types of inter‐municipal cooperation local governments engage in and about their perspectives on community health and wellbeing. Without such knowledge, lim…
A Scoping Review of Citizen Science Approaches in Chronic Disease Prevention
Background: Citizen science approaches, which involve members of the public as active collaborators in scientific research, are increasingly being recognized for their potential benefits in chronic disease prevention. However, understanding the potential applicability, feasibility and impacts of these approaches is necessary if they are to be more widely used. This study aimed to synthesize research that has applied and evaluated citizen science …

Research on media framing of public policies to prevent chronic disease
Communicating the benefits of population health interventions
How can we communicate to the public that population level health interventions are effective at improving health? Perhaps the most familiar "currency" of effect is that which can be brought about via medication. Comparisons of effect sizes may be effective ways of communicating the benefits of population health interventions if they are seen and understood in the same way that medications are. We developed a series of comparisons to communicate …
Nanny or canny? Community perceptions of government intervention for preventive health
Critics of government intervention for the prevention of lifestyle-related chronic disease often conceptualise such efforts as ‘nanny state’, reflecting a neoliberal perspective and derailing wider debate. However, it is unknown how the community perceives such interventions. Given the importance of public opinion to government willingness to implement population-level system change, we aimed to better understand Australian community attitudes to…
Does citizen science have the capacity to transform population health science
Citizen science engages members of the public in research design, data collection, and analysis – in asking and answering questions about the world around them. The United States, European Union, and Australia have placed citizen science at the forefront of national science policy. Journals such as Science, Nature and Bioscience regularly feature projects conducted by citizens. Citizen science engages millions of people worldwide. However, to dat…
Psychological Subjects
MATHEW Thomson places the emergence of psychology as a distinct area of enquiry into a broad context. He demonstrates how interest in religion and spirituality, politics and science contributed to the process, as did cultural concerns about the will, self-improvement and self-realisation, stretching back into the nineteenth century. He points out how ideas about the unconscious existed in philosophy and the arts well before Freud and were also de…
