Financial penalty associated with a decline in hospital-acquired complications in Australia
Evidence for pay-for-performance (p4p) and hospital patient safety has been inconclusive. • A p4p policy targeting hospital-acquired complications was introduced across Australia. • The policy’s introduction was associated with a decline in complications. • No evidence of gaming and systematic miscoding was observed. • P4p may can potentially complement other efforts to improve safety of hospital care. Adverse events during hospital care are a gl…
Assessment of health-related quality of life in Australian patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
The EQ-5D-5L demonstrated superior performance when compared to AQoL-8D in persons with IPF. This may be attributable to the high symptom burden which is physically debilitating to which the EQ-5D-5L may be more sensitive
The impact of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis on health state utility values
Annual transition probabilities of overweight and obesity in older adults
A systematic review and meta-analysis of workplace mindfulness training randomized controlled trials.
Socioeconomic position over the life course from childhood and smoking status in mid-adulthood
It remains unclear how life course socioeconomic position (SEP) variations impact later smoking status. We aimed to investigate the associations using a novel methodology – a structured regression framework and to explore the potential underlying mechanisms. Data were from an Australian national cohort (n = 1489). SEP was measured in childhood (aged 7–15 years), young- (aged 26–36 years) and mid-adulthood (aged 31–41 years), including highest par…
A meta-analytic study of the factors driving the purchase of organic food
Lifestyle behaviours associated with 5-year weight gain in a prospective cohort of Australian adults aged 26-36 years at baseline
Individuals who adopted healthier behaviours between baseline and follow-up had similar weight gain to those who met the guidelines at both time points. Encouraging young adults to meet these simple guidelines may reduce weight gain
National survey of risk factors for non-communicable disease in Vietnam
This report provides an extensive description of the sex-specific and regional distribution of NCD risk factors in Vietnam and an account of some health-related consequences of industrialisation in its early stages. The STEPS protocols can be utilized to provide aggregate data for valid between-population comparisons, but with important caveats identified
Does workplace health promotion contribute to job stress reduction? Three-year findings from Partnering Healthy@Work
For women, comprehensive WHP availability contributed to a sense of organizational support, potentially impacting the esteem component of reward. Men with higher WHP participation also benefitted but gains were modest over time and may have been hindered by other work environment factors
Prevalence and correlates of psychological distress in a large and diverse public sector workforce
Depression and anxiety screening using typical employer survey methods could overestimate prevalence but expected correlates are observed in a screening setting. Guidance for employers on screening and interpretation should be provided to encourage engagement with mental health prevention and treatment programs in the workplace
Construct validity of SF-6D health state utility values in an employed population
