Sexual Behaviour, HIV Prevention and Testing Among Transgender and Non-binary People in a Cross-Sectional Behavioural Surveillance Survey in Aotearoa New Zealand
Trans and non-binary (TNB) people who have sex with gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBM) are rarely included in HIV behavioural surveillance. Improved data on risk and protective behaviours among TNB people could help identify unmet needs. We analysed data from the Sex and Prevention of Transmission Study, a cross-sectional HIV behavioural surveillance programme in Aotearoa New Zealand that extended eligibility to TNB participa…
Predictors of reading comprehension in autistic primary school students: Evaluating the direct and indirect effects model of reading
Reading for meaning is essential for academic success, yet many autistic students experience difficulties comprehending written texts. Existing models of reading comprehension are largely based on non‐autistic populations, with limited research examining their applicability to autistic learners. This study investigated whether the Direct and Indirect Effects Model of Reading (DIER) applies to autistic primary school students by examining associat…
Reading assessment for autistic students: Using a socio-ecological model to identify enablers and inhibitors for teachers in schools
Reading outcomes remain a priority for all students. While many general strategies have been offered to effectively assess reading in children in general, there is limited research exploring teachers’ assessment of reading for autistic students specifically. In this study, we were interested in how teachers assess reading for autistic students in their school contexts. We interviewed nine teachers, who worked across early childhood, primary and s…
Exploring the perspectives of Australian neurodivergent university students
More Australian students who are neurodivergent are entering post-secondary education. Experiences of higher education varies for these students. We investigated the university experience of 33 neurodivergent undergraduates in higher education through individual semi-structured interviews. Participants were enrolled in Education or Health Sciences. Data were analysed using thematic analysis and three major themes were identified: lived perspectiv…
The mindful movement program in primary schools: A single-arm pilot intervention study
This study demonstrated the feasibility and acceptability of a structured approach to movement and mindfulness developed by an experienced dance teacher, and delivered by teachers within the existing classroom setting. The program showed encouraging findings of improvement in a pre-post assessment. Further research is warranted to establish effectiveness in a controlled study design
A study of Samoan, Tongan, Cook Island Māori, and Niuean infant care practices in the Growing Up in New Zealand study
The impact of SUDI on Pacific infants may be lessened or prevented if communication about risk factors is more inclusive of diverse ethnic, cultural worldviews, and languages. Societal structural issues such as access to affordable housing is also important. This research suggests a need for more targeted or tailored interventions which promote safe sleeping and reduce rates of SUDI in a culturally respectful and meaningful way for Pasifika commu…
Observing the c lassroom literacy environment of children on the autism spectrum in specialist classrooms
There is increasing awareness of the high levels of support needed for literacy learning for children on the autism spectrum. Although research has investigated the quality of the classroom literacy environment, little attention has been paid to examining the classroom literacy environment in specialist classrooms catering specifically for children on the spectrum. The current study used the Early Language and Literacy Classroom Observation (ELLC…
Manawataki Fatu Fatu for Access (Māori and Pacific Hearts in Unison for Achieving Cardiovascular Care in Equity StudieS). Protocol for a Mixed Methods Programme of Research
Māori and Pacific peoples in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) face significant inequities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, hospitalisations and management rates, compared with non-Māori, non-Pacific peoples. These inequities are intimately linked to factors such as colonisation and the intergenerational impacts of systemic racism. This is the protocol for Manawataki Fatu Fatu for ACCESS (Māori and Pacific hearts in unison for Achieving Card…
Vaccine-Preventable Disease-Associated Hospitalisations Among Migrant and Non-migrant Children in New Zealand
An intervention to reduce the number of convenience stores selling tobacco: Feasibility study
Substantially reducing the availability of tobacco in communities is likely to require legislative approaches, underpinned by sustained community pressure and support for convenience store owners who are willing to change their business model
The impact of tobacco promotion at the point of sale: A systematic review
Point of sale tobacco displays and smoking among 14–15 year olds in New Zealand: A cross-sectional study
Although these findings are cross-sectional in nature, they are consistent with the notion that greater exposure to tobacco displays at the point of sale increases youth smoking, and suggest display bans are needed
