Heat, Home-Based Assault and Domestic and Family Violence Injuries
Suicide and mortality following self-harm in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities in Victoria, Australia
Background: While cultural backgrounds are well-documented to be relevant to intentional self-harm, little is known about how cultural and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds affect mortality outcomes following self-harm. Aim: This study aimed to compare the risk of all-cause mortality and suicide after intentional hospital admissions for self-harm among people from CALD (vs. non-CALD) backgrounds. Method: Linked hospital and mortality data…
Gender differences in the incidence, characteristics and hospital admission outcomes of fall-related injuries in older adults in Victoria, Australia, over 5 years from 2018/19 to 2022/23
Background: Falls are the leading cause of injury morbidity and mortality in older adults. This study aimed to: (1) Explore gender differences in falls injury incidence and outcomes in Victoria, Australia; and (2) Test if these differences are explained by patient demographics and clinical complexity. Method: Fall-related injury admissions records from 1-JULY-2018 to 30-JUNE-2023 were extracted from the Victorian Admitted Episodes Dataset. Admiss…
Transition between social protection systems for workers with long term health problems
Many nations have established workers' compensation systems as a feature of their social protection system. These systems typically provide time-limited entitlements such as wage replacement benefits and funding for medical treatment. Entitlements may end for workers with long-term health conditions before they have returned to employment. We sought to determine the prevalence of transitions to alternative forms of social protection, specifically…
Suicide among those who use mental health services
Suicide decedents had less contact with mental health services than non-decedents; however, evidence suggests suicide decedents reach out to mental health services proximal to suicide. An increase in mental health service contact by an individual could be an indication of suicide risk and therefore an opportunity for intervention. Further, community level contact should be further explored as a possible prevention mechanism considering the majori…
Pre-injury health status of truck drivers with a workers’ compensation claim
Truck drivers are a vulnerable population due to the high number of workplace injuries and fatalities predominant in their occupation. In Australia, the road freight transportation industry has been identified as a national priority area in terms of creating preventative measures to improve the health and safety of its workers. With an environment conducive to poor nutritional food choices and unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, many barriers exist t…
Claimant Lawyer Use in Road Traffic Injury Compensation Claims
In injury compensation schemes, claimants engage lawyers to navigate the claiming process, access benefits, and resolve disputes. As a result, lawyers can play a central role in facilitating claimant access to entitlements, and shaping claimant experiences and outcomes. This article presents findings from the largest empirical investigation of lawyer use in a single compensation scheme: using evidence from almost 50,000 claims in the road traffic…
Societal determinants of violent death
In this ecological study, we attempt to quantify the extent to which differences in homicide and suicide death rates between three countries, and among states/provinces within those countries, may be explained by differences in their social, economic, and structural characteristics. We examine the relationship between state/province level measures of societal risk factors and state/province level rates of violent death (homicide and suicide) acro…
Complications, burden and in-hospital death among hospital treated injury patients in Victoria, Australia
Outcomes and risk factors differ depending on the outcome measured, and the method used for measuring the outcome. Similar outcomes measured in different ways produces varying results. Data linkage has provided a valuable platform for a comprehensive overview of outcomes, which can help design and target secondary and tertiary preventive measures
Trends in the leading causes of injury mortality, Australia, Canada and the United States, 2000–2014
Results show marked differences and striking similarities in injury mortality between the countries and within countries over time. The observed trends differed by injury cause category. The substantial differences in injury rates between similarly resourced populations raises important questions about the role of societal-level factors as underlying causes of the differential distribution of injury in our communities
Caregiving and mental health among workers
Our findings provide evidence on caregiving and associated risk for psychological distress among working Thais. This adds to the limited existing literature in middle-income countries and highlights the potential pressure among caregivers in balancing work and care while preserving their own mental health
