Multisource evaluation of policing competence
Some police departments are responding to changing community needs by promoting a departmental cultural shift, which may involve their training programs. Reliable evaluation tools are needed to capture policing preparedness of graduating probationary officers (P1s) in line with evolving policing theory. The current study examines a multisource evaluation tool that includes P1 self-report and the observed ratings from their field training officers…
Trauma and psychological distress in Latino citizen children following parental detention and deportation
These findings lend support to a reconsideration and revision of immigration enforcement practices to take into consideration the best interest of Latino citizen children. Trauma-informed assessments and interventions are recommended for this special population. (PsycINFO Database Record
Screen-time, obesity, ageing and disability
Objective To assess the relationship between obesity and sedentary behaviours, such as watching television or using a computer (‘screen-time’), and describe how this relationship varies between population subgroups. Design Cross-sectional analysis of the relationship between obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2 ) and screen-time, adjusted for age, sex, income and education and compared according to a range of personal characteristics. Setting New South Wales…
Could better jobs improve mental health? A prospective study of change in work conditions and mental health in mid-aged adults
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the extent improvement or deterioration in employee job security, control or workload is associated with a change in mental health. DESIGN: Self-report panel data (2000, 2004) on mental health (symptoms of depression and generalised anxiety) and job demands, control and insecurity. Changes in exposures and outcomes were calculated by subtracting wave 1 from wave 2 scores. Changes in mental health were regressed onto cha…
P2-145 BMI and the risk of hospitalisation
Introduction Obesity and overweight have a range of health effects, yet little evidence is available on their effect on hospitalisation. This study quantifies the risk of hospitalisation relating to overweight and obesity. Methods 241 949 45 and Up Study participants with linked hospital admissions and death data were followed from recruitment (February 2006 onwards) through to June 2009. Self-reported height and weight were used to classify pati…
P1-63 Estimating fraction cured from cancer
Background Estimates of the fraction of patients cured from cancer provide important information to both patients and clinicians. But how reliable are the estimates? Methods Three statistical approaches, based on similar assumptions that a fraction of patients will be cured from cancer, were used to estimate the fraction cured. The first approach was CANSURV software and the second was developed by De Angelis et al (1999), both using grouped surv…
P1-379 Projecting prevalence by stage of care for colon cancer and estimating future health service needs in New South Wales Australia
Aim To estimate the number of colon cancer patients in New South Wales (NSW) Australia requiring cancer care in the future. Methods Prevalence of first primary colon cancer was estimated and projected forward, by stage of clinical care (initial care, long-term survivors, monitoring, and last year of life), for 2007–2016. Then using data from a patterns of care study for colorectal cancer, we estimated the type and amount of treatments that will b…

Cervical cancer screening in Australia
Lengthening the recommended screening interval to 3 years in Australia is not predicted to result in increases in rates of cervical cancer and is predicted to decrease the number of women undergoing diagnostic and treatment procedures. These findings are consistent with a large body of international evidence showing that screening more frequently than every three years with cervical cytology does not result in substantial gains in screening effec…

Universal health care no guarantee of equity
Australia's universal health care system does not guarantee equity in the receipt of high technology health care for patients with ischaemic heart disease. While such a system might ensure equity for patients with AMI, where guidelines for treatment are relatively well established, this is not the case for angina patients, where health care may be less urgent and more discretionary
Source selectivity
Artifacts made from volcanic glass have been found in archaeological contexts dating from the Late Palaeolithic (ca. 20,000 yr B.P.) through to the end of the Bronze Age (ca. 2700 yr B.P.) in the southern Primorye region of Far East Russia. A geoarchaeological survey of volcanic glass outcrops assessed the various potential sources to determine their potential for sustained exploitation. A characterization study of source samples and artifacts fr…

Unsociable Work? Nonstandard Work Schedules, Family Relationships, and Children's Well-Being
Many children live in families where one or both parents work evenings, nights, or weekends. Do these work schedules affect family relationships or well-being? Using cross-sectional survey data from dual-earner Canadian families (N= 4,306) with children aged 2 - 11 years (N= 6,156), we compared families where parents worked standard weekday times with those where parents worked nonstandard schedules. Parents working nonstandard schedules reported…

"Before They Said "I Do
One hundred couples were followed for 13 years from the premarital period well through the primary risk period for divorce. Results of discriminant analysis indicated that couples who remain satisfied, become distressed, and divorce can be reliably classified on the basis of premarital data. Further, both previously identified demographic risk factors and couple interaction variables contributed to classification accuracy, suggesting that both ty…
Maternal Emotions During Mother-Toddler Interaction
Objective. This study explored the emotional experiences of mothers in interacting with their 2-year-old children and examined interrelations among maternal emotion, family distress, and observations of parenting sensitivity. Design. Sixty mothers and their 2-year-old children were observed interacting during both enjoyable (free play) and challenging (waiting) interaction tasks, and mothers provided self-report information about their emotional …
Men and Women Dealing with Conflict in Heterosexual Relationships
Marital therapists and researchers have suggested a tendency toward Pursuit by women and Withdrawal by men as an important gender‐linked pattern of dealing with marital conflict. The relationships of gender and sex role orientation to behavior in intimate heterosexual relationships were examined in two studies of nondistressed couples. In Study 1, 29 couples were examined longitudinally before and after marriage using an observational and self‐re…
