Experiences of racism among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults living in the Australian state of Victoria
Perceived racism may partially explain the gap in health between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Victorians
Perceived racism may be an independent health risk factor that explains more than a third of the health gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Victorians; equivalent in strength to smoking. The recognised failure of the Australian government's Closing the Gap strategy may be due in part to the failure to consider other determinants of the health gap beyond the lifestyle risk factors, namely racism, which may act to damage health through multip…
Social determinants and psychological distress among Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander adults in the Australian state of Victoria
Inequalities in the social determinants of health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People
We identified inequalities in health between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Victorians, most notably in the prevalence of depression and anxiety, and the social determinants of health (psychosocial risk factors, SES, and social capital). This has implications for evidence-based policy development and may inform the development of public health interventions
Social determinants and lifestyle risk factors only partially explain the higher prevalence of food insecurity among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the Australian state of Victoria
Social determinants and lifestyle risk factors only partially explained the higher prevalence of food insecurity among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in Victoria. Further research is needed to explain the disparity in food insecurity between the two populations in order to inform and guide corrective action
Future predictions of body mass index and overweight prevalence in Australia, 2005-2025
To predict current and future body mass index (BMI) and prevalence of overweight and obesity in Australian children and adults based on sex, age and year of birth (cohort). These predictions are needed for population health planning and evaluation. Data were drawn from 11 cross-sectional national or state population surveys conducted in Australia between 1969 and 2004. These included representative population samples of children (n= 27,635) and a…
Assessing Cost-Effectiveness in Obesity (ACE-Obesity)
The use of consistent methods enables valid comparison of potential intervention costs and cost-offsets for each of the interventions. ACE-Obesity informs policy-makers about cost-effectiveness, health impact, affordability and 2nd stage filters for important options for preventing unhealthy weight gain in children. In related articles cost-effectiveness results and second stage filter considerations for each intervention assessed will be present…
