Holding on to Hope”: Follow up qualitative findings of a tobacco treatment intervention for people experiencing mental health conditions
The Quitlink trial was registered with ANZCTR (www.anzctr.org.au): ACTRN12619000244101 prior to the accrual of the first participant and updated regularly as per registry guidelines
The impact of official development assistance for health on health outcomes: A rapid systematic review
Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have received substantial amounts of Official Development Assistance for Health (DAH) to address domestic health funding gaps and improve access to universal healthcare. However, the effectiveness of DAH in improving health outcomes remains contested, with varying findings across studies due to differences in methodologies, data sources, and target populations. This systematic review synthesizes the existi…
Donor preferences for recipient control of international development aid
More than 90 % of health aid remains tied to projects that reflect donor rather than recipient priorities. This has a material impact on aid effectiveness and is inconsistent with the stated aims of development partners to 'decolonise aid' and prioritise 'locally led development'. Relatively little attention has been given to constraints that might account for this divergence between donor rhetoric and action. The present study considers whether …
Temperature’s Toll on Decision-Making
Does temperature affect decision-making abilities and rationality? Using Indonesian data, we estimate how risky choices, impatience and rational choice violations vary with exposure to temperature. We show that hot weather temporarily increases rational choice violations and impatience, but does not affect risk-related decisions. These effects are primarily driven by nighttime rather than daytime temperatures. We provide suggestive evidence that …

The value of compassionate support to address smoking: A qualitative study with people who experience severe mental illness
The Quitlink trial was registered with ANZCTR (www.anzctr.org.au): ACTRN12619000244101 prior to the accrual of the first participant and updated regularly as per registry guidelines
Adapting Peer Researcher Facilitated Strategies to Recruit People Receiving Mental Health Services to a Tobacco Treatment Trial
The trial is registered with ANZCTR (www.anzctr.org.au): ACTRN12619000244101 prior to the accrual of the first participant and updated regularly as per registry guidelines. The trial sponsor was the University of Newcastle, NSW, Australia
The impact of health sector‐wide approaches on aid effectiveness and infant mortality
The effectiveness of health aid remains contested. Previous estimates fail to distinguish between fragmented, poorly‐targeted aid and aid disbursed under aid effectiveness principles. To address this gap, we investigated whether the sector‐wide approach (SWAp), a mechanism for aid delivery built on aid effectiveness principles, has delivered improvements in aid effectiveness and infant mortality. Results suggest that SWAp implementation facilitat…
Quitlink”—A Randomized Controlled Trial of Peer Worker Facilitated Quitline Support for Smokers Receiving Mental Health Services: Study Protocol
Introduction: Although smokers with severe mental illnesses (SSMI) make quit attempts at comparable levels to other smokers, fewer are successful in achieving smoking cessation. Specialized smoking cessation treatments targeting their needs can be effective but have not been widely disseminated. Telephone delivered interventions, including by quitlines, show promise. However, few SSMI contact quitlines and few are referred to them by health profe…
Protocol for an Economic Evaluation of the Quitlink Randomized Controlled Trial for Accessible Smoking Cessation Support for People With Severe Mental Illness
Introduction: Smoking is a major cause of disease burden and reduced quality of life for people with severe mental illness (SMI). It places significant resource pressure on health systems and financial stress on smokers with SMI (SSMI). Telephone-based smoking cessation interventions have been shown to be cost effective in general populations. However, evidence suggests that SSMI are less likely to be referred to quitlines, and little is known ab…
Mapping PedsQLTM scores onto CHU9D utility scores: Estimation, validation and a comparison of alternative instrument versions
The Impact of SWAps on Health Aid Displacement of Domestic Health Expenditure
Recent research suggests that an additional $1 of health aid would displace – or crowd out – nearly the same amount in a recipient government’s own health expenditure. Implementing a Sector Wide Approach (SWAp) may exacerbate crowding out because recipient governments should face fewer constraints when allocating health aid. This paper uses rigorous panel data methods to investigate this hypothesised effect of SWAps. We find that SWAps provide no…
