Extracting and communicating insights about geographical patterns from spatiotemporal disease models
Spatiotemporal modelling is increasingly employed to understand how geographic patterns of disease vary over time; however, most studies report minimal information, often neglecting uncertainty altogether. This represents a missed opportunity to understand changes in disease risk at a fine granularity and to provide a valuable, actionable evidence base. This study describes generalisable methods for extracting key metrics from the outputs of Baye…
Dietary Diversity, Haemoglobin and Anaemia in Nepali Adolescent Girls: A Longitudinal Study
Adolescent girls and young women in Nepal are vulnerable to poor diets and anaemia, yet the extent of these risks remains overlooked. We assessed changes in dietary diversity, haemoglobin, and anaemia, and identified associated factors among adolescent girls and young women in Nepal. We analysed data from a longitudinal panel study including never-married and not-pregnant participants, enroled at 10-19 years in 2017 (n = 770) and followed up in 2…
Exploring the Relationship of Paediatric Nutritional Status with Diarrhoeal Disease in Children Below Two Years of Age
Background and objective: Paediatric malnutrition has a synergistic relationship with diarrhoea. In children under two years of age, diarrhoea occurs in more than half of malnutrition cases and is associated with increased duration of illness, increased length of hospital stays, increased morbidity, and mortality. A well-established relationship exists between diarrhoeal and various standalone forms of malnutrition, but their association with coe…
Examining trajectories of marital satisfaction to represent the resilience process among Indonesian married individuals
Marriage is an important milestone for many adults, and notably in Indonesia, where marriage is also considered a personal accomplishment and social obligation. Research has found being married is associated with greater well-being, but marriages also face challenges. Resilience, defined as successfully adapting to challenges, is a potential concept to help married individuals maintain or regain adaptation despite challenges in marriages. This is…
The Dynamics of Psychological Distress in the Trajectory of At-Risk and Problem Gambling: Results from a Prospective Population-Based Longitudinal Study in Australia
This study employed parallel growth curve modelling to examine the changes in both psychological distress and at-risk and problem gambling as a development process. We used a prospective longitudinal population-based study to provide further insights beyond treatment samples and cross-sectional studies. A secondary data analysis was conducted by extracting a sample of 3460 Victorian adults from the Victorian Gambling Study 2008–2011. Findings sug…
Mapping the Morbidity Risk Associated with Coal Mining in Queensland, Australia
The populations in the vicinity of surface coal mining activities have a higher risk of morbidity due to diseases, such as cardiovascular, respiratory and hypertensive diseases, as well as cancer and diabetes mellitus. Despite the large and historical volume of coal production in Queensland, the main Australian coal mining state, there is little research on the association of coal mining exposures with morbidity in non-occupational populations in…
University Staff and Students’ Attitudes towards a Completely Smoke-Free Campus: Shifting Social Norms and Organisational Culture for Health Promotion
A large university in Queensland, Australia with a diverse staff and student community introduced a campus wide smoke-free policy in 2016. The purpose of this enquiry was to understand attitudes about a new smoke-free policy, its potential impact and the shift in social norms and organizational culture to inform the next phase of implementation. An electronic survey was distributed to all staff and students approximately 12 weeks after the smoke-…
Elemental Contamination in Indoor Floor Dust and Its Correlation with PAHs, Fungi, and Gram+/− Bacteria
In this study, we performed elemental analysis for floor dust samples collected in Jordanian microenvironments (dwellings and educational building). We performed intercorrelation and cluster analysis between the elemental, polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), and microorganism concentrations. In general, the educational building workshops had the highest elemental contamination. The age of the dwelling and its occupancy played a role on the elemental …
