A 10-year Multisite Evaluation of an Individual Placement and Support (IPS) Employment Program Based in an Australian Community Mental Health Service
Employment and retirement impacts on health and wellbeing among a sample of rural Australians
While retirement is a significant life transition that may affect multiple facets of an individual's life, the direction and magnitude of these effects vary depending on the retirement context, namely the pre-retirement and concurrent circumstances within which an individual is retiring. Personal perceptions of status changes may also contribute to an individual's wellbeing more so than objective factors such as income. Policies that promote rura…
The Challenges of Predicting Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviours in a Sample of Rural Australians with Depression
Suicide is a leading cause of death, particularly in rural and remote areas. Although depression is strongly related to both suicidal ideation and attempt, it lacks specificity as a predictor, and little is known about characteristics that increase suicide risk among people with depression. A telephone version of the World Mental Health Composite International Diagnostic Interview explored lifetime depression, suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, …
Depression and Risk of Unintentional Injury in Rural Communities—A Longitudinal Analysis of the Australian Rural Mental Health Study
Limited longitudinal research has examined relationships between depression and injury, particularly in rural contexts. This paper reports cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses from the Australian Rural Mental Health Study (ARMHS) exploring relationships between "probable depression" episodes and unintentional injury. Participants completed four surveys over five years. Multivariate logistic regressions were employed to assess the causal effe…

Long-term effects of lifetime trauma exposure in a rural community sample
PTEs may have diverse psychological and social consequences beyond the development of PTSD. Ensuring that adequate support services are available in rural areas, particularly in the period immediately following a PTE, may reduce the long-term impact of traumatic events
Measuring change in cannabis use
We examined the ability of the Cannabis User Disorders Identification Test – Revised (CUDIT-R) to detect change in a treatment sample, including correlation with changes in other clinically relevant areas of functioning, and to determine reliable and clinically significant change thresholds. 133 cannabis-using patients taking part in a treatment trial for concurrent substance use and mood disorder were administered the 8-item CUDIT-R at baseline,…
Unintentional Injury, Psychological Distress and Depressive Symptoms: Is There an Association for Rural Australians
Purpose: To investigate the association between unintentional injury and mental health in Australian rural communities. Methods: Using cross‐sectional baseline data for a longitudinal study from randomly selected adults in nonmetropolitan Australia, we fitted logistic regression models for the outcomes of domestic or public setting injury and injury in high‐risk settings, using prior depression and demographic factors. OR and 99% CI were reported…

Social support and age influence distress outcomes differentially across urban, regional and remote Australia: An exploratory study
Remoteness may moderate the influence of social support and age on psychological distress outcomes
Individual and district-level predictors of alcohol use: Cross sectional findings from a rural mental health survey in Australia
Although recent attention has been directed towards the potential adverse health effects of district or community level adversity across rural regions, our study found relatively few district-level factors contributing to at-risk alcohol consumption after controlling for individual-level factors. Population-based prevention strategies may be most beneficial in rural areas with a higher socio-economic ranking, while individual attention should be …

P2-496 An interaction of social support and remoteness in the prediction of psychological distress
Introduction The influence of social support on mental health outcomes may vary with remoteness in Australian communities. However, the potential variation of determinants of mental health with remoteness has rarely been directly examined. The current research aims to examine the association of social support and distress with remoteness. Methods Community cohorts from rural and urban New South Wales were combined (N=5924; mean age=61.1 yrs; 44.2…

Farewells by the Dying: A Sociological Study
This article presents a sociological description and analysis of farewell conduct in an Australian sample of 100 terminally ill cancer patients. Farewells already made before the research interviews and those that were desired and planned are outlined. Sociological functions which can be surmised from this conduct are discussed. The decision not to farewell and the reasons underlying this choice are examined. Eighty-one percent of the respondents…

Warfare in the Sokoto Caliphate: Historical and Sociological Perspectives
III.— Observations on the probable Sites of the Jewish Temple and Antonia, and the Acra, with reference to the results of the recent Palestine Explorations
The recent publication of The Recovery of Jerusalem assists us materially in solving some of the most perplexing questions as to the topography of the Holy City. The points of greatest interest are 1. The genuineness of the Holy Sepulchre; 2. The lines of the walls; and, 3. The relative sites of the Temple and Antonia and the Acra
XXII.— On the Castra of the Littus Saxonicum, and particularly the Castrum of Othona
The castra of the Littus Saxonicum were nine in number, and are thus catalogued in the Notitia , the military survey made of the Roman empire in the last stage of its existence: 1. Branodunum or Brancaster. 2. Garianonum or Burgh Castle. 3. Regulbium or Reculver. 4. Rutupiæ or Richborough. 5. Dubræ or Dover. 6. Lemanse or Lymne. 7. Anderida or Pevensey. 8. Portus Adurni or Bramber Castle. 9. Othona. In discussing the subject of the castra I propo…
VIII.— The Mosque of Omar
A cloud of mystery has long shrouded the Mosque of Omar, and various hypotheses have been put forward for solving the enigma. I am about to propound a novel theory; and, as most persons must long since have formed their own conclusions, I feel that prejudices are to be overcome, and that without any partisans, at least to begin with, on my side, I must necessarily have many opponents. The Society however will, I am sure, indulge me with a patient…
XXIII.— On the Position of the Portus Lemanis of the Romans
The Portus Lemanis must clearly have been one of the great thoroughfares between Britain and the Continent, and it is not a little singular that the position of a port once so famous should never have been satisfactorily settled. The common impression is that it lay at the foot of Lymne Hill. For the benefit of those who are not familiar with this neighbourhood, I should mention, in limine , that the village of Lymne or Lympne stands about 21⁄2 m…
XVII.— Further Observations on the Landing of Cæsar, in connection with the Correspondence between the Society of Antiquaries and the Admiralty
As probably many of those who have heard the Correspondence with the Admiralty read have not made the subject of Cæsar's Invasion their particular study, it may be useful to state the precise question which the recent survey by the Admiralty was intended to settle. It is well known that the first invasion was in the year B.C. 55, and in the harvest month at the south of England, i.e. in August, and it is mentioned incidentally by Cæsar that the f…
IV.— Sketch of British and Roman London
It is a commonly received opinion that London was planted by the Romans, and that before their arrival London had no existence. In the following remarks I propose—1. To show that London was, ab origine , a British city. 2. To endeavour to define what was the primitive site of it; and 3. To point out the gradual growth of London under the Roman domination
