Home environment predictors of vegetable and fruit intakes among Australian children aged 18 months
The extended Infant Feeding, Activity and Nutrition Trial (InFant Extend) Program: A cluster-randomized controlled trial of an early intervention to prevent childhood obesity
ACTRN12611000386932. Registered 13 April 2011
The impact of a new McDonald's restaurant on eating behaviours and perceptions of local residents: A natural experiment using repeated cross-sectional data
Mothers’ perceptions of the influences on their child feeding practices – A qualitative study
Workplace Sitting Breaks Questionnaire (SITBRQ): An assessment of concurrent validity and test-retest reliability
SITBRQ may be used for assessment of the frequency of sitting breaks within desk-based work settings with validity and reliability similar to other self-reports in the field of sedentary behaviour research. However, until adequately improved and re-evaluated, it should not be used to collect data about the duration of breaks in sitting time
Family food involvement and frequency of family dinner meals among Australian children aged 10–12years. Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations with dietary patterns
Barriers to avoiding fast-food consumption in an environment supportive of unhealthy eating
Objective To investigate factors (ability, motivation and the environment) that act as barriers to limiting fast-food consumption in women who live in an environment that is supportive of poor eating habits. Design Cross-sectional study using self-reports of individual-level data and objectively measured environmental data. Multilevel logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with frequency of fast-food consumption. Setting Socio-…
Home food availability mediates associations between mothers’ nutrition knowledge and child diet
The availability of snack food displays that may trigger impulse purchases in Melbourne supermarkets
As a result of the high availability of snack food displays, exposure to snack foods is almost unavoidable in Melbourne supermarkets, regardless of levels of neighbourhood socioeconomic disadvantage. Results of this study could promote awareness of the prominence of unhealthy food items in chain-brand supermarkets outlets
Associations between fruit and vegetable intake, leisure-time physical activity, sitting time and self-rated health among older adults: Cross-sectional data from the Well study
This study contributes to the scarce literature related to lifestyle behaviours and their association with health indicators among older adults. The findings suggest that a modest increase in F&V intake, or LTPA could have a marked effect on the health of older adults. Further research is needed to fully understand the correlates and determinants of lifestyle behaviours, particularly sitting time, in this age group
Who is eating where? Findings from the SocioEconomic Status and Activity in Women (Sesaw) study
Objective Foods prepared outside of the home have been linked to less-than-ideal nutrient profiles for health. We examine whether the locations where meals are prepared and consumed are associated with socio-economic predictors among women. Design A cross-sectional study using self-reported data. We examined multiple locations where meals are prepared and consumed: (i) at home; (ii) fast food eaten at home; (iii) fast food eaten at the restaurant…
Love thy neighbour? Associations of social capital and crime with physical activity amongst women
Children’s takeaway and fast-food intakes: Associations with the neighbourhood food environment
Objective The present study aimed to examine associations between availability of outlets where takeaway or fast food could be purchased and consumption of takeaway or fast food among children. Design Cross-sectional. Parents completed a questionnaire regarding the frequency per week their child usually ate takeaway or fast foods. The availability of outlets where these foods could be purchased close to home and en route to school was determined …

Associations Between the Home Food Environment and Obesity‐promoting Eating Behaviors in Adolescence
Objective: This study examines relationships between multiple aspects of the home food environment and obesity‐promoting characteristics of 12‐ to 13‐year‐old adolescents' diets, specifically frequency of consumption of high‐energy fluids, sweet snacks, savory snacks, and take‐out foods. Research Methods: This was a cross‐sectional study including 347 adolescents 12 to 13 years of age and their parents. Data were collected via self‐completed surv…
The effects of television advertisements for junk food versus nutritious food on children's food attitudes and preferences
Police opinions of a proposal for controlled availability of heroin in Australia
Police attitudes have rarely been studied as part of law‐ or policy‐making, particularly in drug policy. We examined why the majority of a sample of Canberra‐based police were opposed to a proposal for a trial of controlled availability of heroin. Many police had negative attitudes towards heroin users with a sense that a trial was ‘giving in’ to them and that funds should be spent on more ‘deserving’ groups. Policing against illegal drugs was no…
Diet, food beliefs and dietary supplementation
A random population survey, administered by mail, was completed by 730 adults in Adelaide, South Australia (a response rate of 78.5%). The aim of the study was the description of the respondents’ dietary supplementation practices, food and vitamin beliefs and dietary habits. Over one third of the men (37.8%) and half of the women (51.3%) took supplements regularly. A further 13.9% of men and 9.4% of women took supplements at irregular intervals. …
Asocial Skills Training Programme With Sex Offenders
Modification of deviant sexual behaviour: The need for a comprehensive approach
This paper gives four main lines of evidence to support the view that it is too simple to view sexual deviance as a problem of deviant arousal only. Firstly, clinical experience leaves the clear impression that sex offenders are not stable, well‐adjusted men with a sexual arousal problem, but have difficulties in many areas of their lives. Secondly, research on human sexuality has resulted in a greater appreciation of the complexities of sexual b…
