The good old days? Mental health across birth cohorts
The share of young Australians reporting poor mental health has risen sharply over the past two decades, a pattern mirrored across many high-income countries. A central question is whether this reflects a genuine deterioration in underlying mental health or shifts in how different birth cohorts report their symptoms. Using 22 years of nationally representative longitudinal survey data from Australia (2002–2023), we construct a predicted mental he…
Prevalence of Hearing, Vision and Cognitive Impairment and Impact in Older Adults in Home Care
BACKGROUND: Hearing, vision and cognitive impairments are common yet frequently underrecognized among older adults. Although these impairments affect quality of life, functional independence and psychological well-being, there are no published data on the prevalence and consequences of these impairments in relation to Australian home care populations. This protocol outlines a cross-sectional investigation into the prevalence of hearing, vision an…
Routine outcome monitoring and feedback in alcohol and other drug treatment
A mixed‐methods study of staff perspectives on the barriers and facilitators to the implementation of patient‐reported routine outcome measures and feedback in alcohol and other drug treatment
Protocol for the Process Evaluation of the Sense‐Cog Sensory Support Intervention Field Trial to Improve Quality of Life for Older People Receiving Home Care in Australia
BACKGROUND: A field trial of a home-delivered hearing and vision support intervention will assess its impact on the quality of life and well-being of home care recipients with hearing and/or vision impairment and their care partners. AIMS: This paper outlines the protocol for a process evaluation of the field trial. The process evaluation aims to identify discrepancies between expected and actual outcomes, understand contextual influences, assess…
From population numbers to population needs
We conclude that 'constant-use' planning models based on the expected future numbers of people in different age groups applied to current levels of service use by age groups without any consideration given to changing age-specific needs for health care lead to inefficient resource planning
The relationship between physical activity, cognitive function and health care use
Physical activity is known to provide substantial health benefits and subsequently reduce health care use among older people, but little is known about how much of this effect is due to improved cognitive function as opposed to physical improvements in health. We study the direct and indirect effect of physical activity on health care use using the word recall task as a measure of cognitive function in a mediation framework. We use data from eigh…
Health Care Use and Out-of-pocket Spending by Persons With Dementia Differ Between Europe and the United States
BACKGROUND: Persons with dementia need much care, but what care is used and how the burden of financing is divided between persons with dementia, caregivers, and public programs may differ between countries. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare how health care use and out-of-pocket (OOP) spending associated with dementia differ between the United States and Europe, with and without controlling for background characteristics. RESE…
