  • The impact of multiple experiences of social exclusion on the mental health of Australians with disability: Insights from a mixed-methods study

    Open Access•Alexandra Devine, Lu Ye et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Mental Health•2026

    Background Australians with disability experience significantly poorer mental health outcomes compared to the general population, with inequalities increasingly linked to intersecting forms of socio-economic disadvantage and exclusion. However, research on how multiple experiences of social exclusion impact the mental health of people with disability is nascent. This study aims to address this gap. Methods The IMPACT project is a co-designed mixe…

  • Assessing Unmet Social Needs in Multiple Sclerosis Care in Australia: A Qualitative Assessment of Feasibility, Barriers and Enablers

    Open Access•Megan R Hawkins, Mona Hawkins et al.•ARTICLE•Health Expectations•2026

    BACKGROUND: Unmet social needs (including housing, transport and social inclusion) contribute substantially to health outcomes, especially for people with long-term health conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Whether assessment of unmet social needs occurs in MS clinical care is unclear. This study aims to (1) understand current practices, (2) identify barriers and enablers to social needs assessments in MS care, and (3) explore the feasib…

  • Social Needs Screening Tools for Clinical Populations in Australia and New Zealand: A Scoping Review and Critical Analysis

    Open Access•Isabelle Weld-Blundell, Isabelle Weld‐Blundell et al.•ARTICLE•Health Expectations•2026

    BACKGROUND: Social determinants of health account for approximately 50% of health outcomes, yet social needs are rarely assessed as part of routine clinical care. We aimed to conduct a scoping review of screening tools for assessing social needs within clinical practice in Australia and New Zealand. METHODS: This scoping review was conducted according to our preregistered protocol (https://osf.io/d6evu). We searched scientific and grey literature…

  • Family relationships of young people with disability from young people’s perspective: A scoping review

    Open Access•Lu Ye, Marissa Shields et al.•ARTICLE•Disability & Society•2026

    Family relationships are critical sources of support for young people with disability as they transition to adulthood. However, limited research has examined the experiences of young people with disability, with most studies relying on proxy reports from parents or siblings. This scoping review explored relationships with parents and siblings from the perspectives of young people with disability, drawing on nineteen studies identified through six…

  • Labor market entry dynamics and mental health outcomes among young people with and without disability

    Open Access•Fauser, Irma Mooi-Reci et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Population Health•2026

    Young people with disability face significant barriers to stable employment. Yet, little is known about how early labor market experiences shape their long-term mental health. This study examines associations between early career insecurity and subsequent mental health trajectories, focusing on disability status as a key axis of inequality. We use nationally representative longitudinal data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Austra…

  • Addressing the challenges of intellectual disability identification for health policy and research in Australia

    Open Access•Helen Leonard, H M Leonard et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Psychiatry•2026

    This article discusses the important issue of the need for a stable definition of intellectual disability in order to allow comparisons by place and over time such as in the monitoring of this population's health needs and utilization. The aim of the new Australian National Centre for Intellectual Disability Health, established in 2023, is to ensure that all Australian children and adults with intellectual disability receive high-quality healthca…

  • Sustaining collaborations after a crisis: Australian disability and health policy and practice

    Open Access•Helen Dickinson, Samia Badji et al.•ARTICLE•Policy and Society•2026•References: 12

    It is well established within the public management literature that times of crisis can facilitate collaboration across government sectors and external stakeholders due to factors such as a clear task focus and the relaxation of some organisational and institutional constraints. However, what has been less explored are the mechanisms and conditions for sustaining these collaborations in a post-crisis context. In such contexts there is a need to m…

  • A Systematic Review of Interventions Addressing the Primary Prevention of Violence Against Women With Disability

    Open Access•Georgina Sutherland, Jen Hargrave et al.•ARTICLE•Trauma Violence & Abuse•2024

    Women with disability experience significantly more violence and abuse than their nondisabled peers. Efforts to implement, evaluate, and scale-up strategies to prevent violence against women are rapidly expanding, but we know less about “what works” to prevent violence against women with disability. While secondary and tertiary prevention aim to identify violence early and prevent further occurrence, this review focuses on primary prevention. In …

  • Disability-related inequalities in the prevalence of loneliness across the lifespan: Trends from Australia, 2003 to 2020

    Open Access•Glenda M Bishop, Gwynnyth Llewellyn et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2024

    This study confirms that people with disability have increased risk of loneliness compared to people without disability. We add to the existing evidence by demonstrating that disability-related inequalities in loneliness have persisted for two decades in Australia without improvement. Our findings indicate that addressing inequalities in loneliness for people with disability is a critical public health concern given that loneliness is associated …

  • Changes in neighbourhood walkability and body mass index: An analysis of residential mobility from a longitudinal multilevel study in Brisbane, Australia

    Open Access•Jerome N Rachele, Suzanne Mavoa et al.•ARTICLE•Health & Place•2024•References: 3

    This study examined associations between changes in neighbourhood walkability and body mass index (BMI) among 1041 residents who relocated within Brisbane, Australia between 2007 and 2016 over five waves of the HABITAT study. Measures included spatially-derived neighbourhood walkability (dwelling density, street connectivity, and land use mix) and self-reported height and weight. No associations were found between any neighbourhood walkability ch…

  • A critical examination of data for market stewardship: The case of the Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme

    Open Access•Eleanor Malbon, David Gilchrist et al.•ARTICLE•Australian Journal of Public…•2024•References: 3

    Market mechanisms have emerged as a dominant approach in the provision of public welfare services, most notably in sectors such as disability care, aged care, and health care. While this shift promises potential benefits such as improved efficiency, enhanced service quality, and increased consumer support, it also presents significant challenges around equity, access, and the potential for market failure in the absence of effective regulation and…

  • Coming of Age on the Margins: A Life Course Perspective on the Time Use of Australian Adolescents with Disabilities

    Open Access•Martin O’flaherty, Tania King et al.•ARTICLE•Social Forces•2024•References: 73

    People with disabilities experience persistent, multifaceted disadvantage across the life course. The origins of life course disadvantage among people with disabilities may stem, in part, from exclusion during developmentally sensitive periods in childhood. Time use among adolescents represents a potentially important mechanism implicated in the emergence of disability-related disadvantage, but previous research has largely neglected the time use…

  • Part-time versus full-time employment and mental health for people with and without disability

    Open Access•Lu Ye, Ye Lu et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Population Health•2023

    The results of this study suggest that both part-time and full-time employment may have beneficial effects on the mental health of people with disability, particularly for younger people. The findings underscore the value of employment for people with disability, given we found much larger beneficial mental health effects in comparison to people without disability

  • Disability and loneliness in the United Kingdom: Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of trends and transitions

    Open Access•Eric Emerson, Roger Stancliffe et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2023

    Adults with disabilities were more likely to experience loneliness, become lonely and remain lonely over time than their peers. Policies and interventions aimed at reducing loneliness should ensure that they are accessible and effective for people with disabilities. Further research is needed to explore the health outcomes of persistent loneliness among people with/without disabilities

  • Political legitimacy and vaccine hesitancy: Disability support workers in Australia

    Open Access•Helen Dickinson, Anne Kavanagh et al.•ARTICLE•Policy and Society•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 7

    People with disability are an at-risk group in the COVID-19 pandemic for a range of clinical and socioeconomic reasons. In recognition of this, Australians with disability and those who work with them were prioritized in access to vaccination, but the vaccination targets were not met. In this paper, we analyze qualitative data generated from a survey with 368 disability support workers to identify drivers of COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy and why…

  • That was all over the shop’: Exploring the Covid‐19 response in disability residential settings

    Open Access•Ashley Mcallister, Helen Dickinson et al.•ARTICLE•Australian Journal of Public…•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 3

    People with disability are an ‘at‐risk’ group in a pandemic context for various clinical and structural reasons. However, in the early stages of the COVID‐19 pandemic, people with disability were not identified as a priority group, which exacerbated this risk, particularly for those living in congregate settings. This paper examines inter‐organisational issues during the second wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic in disability residential settings gath…

  • Use of Parental Disability Trajectories to Identify Adolescents Who are Young Carers

    Open Access•Tania King, Marissa Shields et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Youth and Adolescence•2023•References: 35

    Being a young carer can have significant impacts on the lives of children and adolescents. Identifying young carers is difficult, making the provision of support challenging for service providers. This sample contained 4464 Australian children/adolescents across 11 years (49% female, aged 6/7 years at baseline, and 16/17 years at final wave). Group-based trajectory modeling was applied to examine parental disability trajectories across 5 waves of…

  • Unsilencing the Histories of Ireland’s Indigenous Minority

    Anne Kavanagh, Anne Marie Kavanagh•ARTICLE•Public History Weekly•2022

    Despite their wealth of cultural and environmental knowledge, indigenous epistemologies are largely excluded and silenced in mainstream environmental discourses. This article explores how storytelling, a pedagogical approach central to indigenous peoples around the globe, can function in classrooms as a culturally sustaining pedagogy which unsilences indigenous cultural and environmental perspectives and ways of knowing. Drawing on the traditiona…

  • Employment and disability among young Australians and associations with psychological distress during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open Access•Marissa Shields, Matthew J Spittal et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Population Health•2022

    Young Australians in general may benefit from additional supports to improve their employment and mental health outcomes. Young people with disabilities may particularly benefit from targeted supports to gain and maintain employment and improve mental health

  • The impact of the Covid pandemic on working age adults with disability: Meta‐analysis of evidence from four national surveys

    Open Access•Eric Emerson, Zoe Aitken et al.•ARTICLE•Health & Social Care in the…•2022

    Concern has been expressed about the extent to which people with disabilities may be particularly vulnerable to negative impacts of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. However, to date little published research has attempted to characterise or quantify the risks faced by people with/without disabilities in relation to COVID-19. We sought to compare the impact of the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated government responses among working a…

  • Nearly gave up on it to be honest’: Utilisation of individualised budgets by people with psychosocial disability within Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme

    Open Access•Alexandra Devine, Helen Dickinson et al.•ARTICLE•Social Policy and Administration•2022•Cited by: 7•References: 16

    Utilisation of budgets provides important insights into the effectiveness of individualised funding schemes. Significant under‐utilisation by certain cohorts may indicate schemes are not working as intended. People with psychosocial disability have been identified as one such cohort experiencing barriers to effective budget utilisation within Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme. Our mixed‐methods research confirms that while this coh…

  • Disability-related inequalities in health and well-being are mediated by barriers to participation faced by people with disability. A causal mediation analysis

    Open Access•Zoe Aitken, Glenda M Bishop et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2022•Cited by: 1•References: 33

    Large inequalities in health and well-being exist between people with and without disability, in part due to poor socio-economic circumstances, and potentially also related to societal factors including issues associated with accessibility and participation. To better understand the contribution of societal factors, we used a unique longitudinal survey of disability in Great Britain to quantify the extent to which barriers to participation contri…

  • Individual and area-level socioeconomic associations with fast food purchasing

    Lawrence Thornton, Lukar E Thornton et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2011•Cited by: 13•References: 36

    BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that those with lower socioeconomic characteristics would be more likely to seek energy-dense food options such as fast food because of cheaper prices; however, to date the evidence has been inconsistent. This study examines both individual- and area-level socioeconomic characteristics and their independent associations with chain-brand fast food purchasing. METHODS: Data from the 2003 Victorian Lifestyle and Nei…

  • Personalisation and pandemic: An unforeseen collision course

    Helen Dickinson, George Carey et al.•ARTICLE•Disability & Society•2020•Cited by: 12

    The outbreak of a pandemic provokes fear and risk of ill health for all individuals, however, these events pose even more of a threat to people with disability who often have poorer health outcomes because of underlying conditions, have difficulties in accessing health and other services, and typically fare worse once they are in the healthcare system. The growth of personalisation schemes in disability internationally is now exacerbating those r…

    BACKGROUND: Evidence of a relationship between residential retail food environments and diet-related outcomes is inconsistent. One reason for this may be that food environments are typically defined in terms of the absolute number of particular store types in an area, whereas a measure of the relative number of healthy and unhealthy stores may be more appropriate. METHODS: Using cross-sectional data from the VicLANES study conducted in Melbourne,…

    Our findings suggest that socio-economic differences in food purchasing behaviour may contribute to the relationship between socio-economic position and food and nutrient intakes, and, by extension, to socio-economic health inequalities for diet-related disease. Further, socio-economic differences in dietary knowledge and concerns about the cost of healthy food play an important role in these relationships and hence should form the focus of futur…

This study examines both individual- and area-level socioeconomic characteristics and their independent associations with chain-brand fast food purchasing. METHODS: Data from the 2003 Victorian Lifestyle and Nei…

  • P1-187 Access to alcohol outlets and harmful alcohol consumption: A multilevel study in Melbourne, Australia

    Anne Kavanagh, Mark Kelly et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2011

    Introduction While developed countries have either introduced, or are considering, legislation to restrict the number of alcohol outlets, there is little evidence to support this strategy except in the USA. Methods Multilevel study of 2334 adults aged 18 to 75 years from 49 census collector districts (the smallest spatial unit in Australia at the time of survey) in Melbourne, Australia. Alcohol outlet density was defined as the number of outlets …

  • Time trends in socio-economic inequalities for women and men with disabilities in Australia: Evidence of persisting inequalities

    Open Access•Anne Kavanagh, Anne M Kavanagh et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal for Equity…•2013

    People with disabilities experience high levels of socio-economic disadvantage which has increased or persisted over time and these are likely to translate into poorer health outcomes. A large proportion experience multiple forms of disadvantage, reinforcing the need to tackle disadvantage in a coordinated way across sectors.People with disabilities should be a priority population group for public health. Monitoring socio-economic conditions of p…

  • Fruit and vegetable purchasing and the relative density of healthy and unhealthy food stores: Evidence from an Australian multilevel study

    Kate E Mason, Kate Mason et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2013•Cited by: 9•References: 36

    BACKGROUND: Evidence of a relationship between residential retail food environments and diet-related outcomes is inconsistent. One reason for this may be that food environments are typically defined in terms of the absolute number of particular store types in an area, whereas a measure of the relative number of healthy and unhealthy stores may be more appropriate. METHODS: Using cross-sectional data from the VicLANES study conducted in Melbourne,…

  • Employment status and mental health among persons with and without a disability: Evidence from an Australian cohort study

    Allison Milner, Anthony D Lamontagne et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2014•Cited by: 8•References: 29

    BACKGROUND: Unemployment and economic inactivity are associated with worse mental health in the general population, but there is limited understanding of whether these relationships are different for those persons with mental or physical disabilities. The aim of this study was to assess whether there were differences in mental health by labour force status among persons with and without disabilities. METHOD: Over eight annual waves of the Househo…

  • Associations between the purchase of healthy and fast foods and restrictions to food access: A cross-sectional study in Melbourne, Australia

    Open Access•Cate Burns, Rebecca Bentley et al.•ARTICLE•Public Health Nutrition•2015

    Objective To examine the associations between financial, physical and transport conditions that may restrict food access (which we define as food security indicators) and the purchase of fast foods and nutritious staples such as bread and milk. Design Multilevel logistic and multinomial regression analysis of cross-sectional survey data to assess associations between the three indicators of food insecurity and household food shopping adjusted for…

  • Associations between individual socioeconomic position, neighbourhood disadvantage and transport mode: Baseline results from the Habitat multilevel study

    Jerome N Rachele, Anne Kavanagh et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2015•Cited by: 6•References: 32

    BACKGROUND: Understanding how different socioeconomic indicators are associated with transport modes provide insight into which interventions might contribute to reducing socioeconomic inequalities in health. The purpose of this study was to examine associations between neighbourhood-level socioeconomic disadvantage, individual-level socioeconomic position (SEP), and usual transport mode. METHODS: This investigation included 11,036 residents from…
