Development of person‐centred quality indicators for aged care assessment services in Australia: A mixed methods study
INTRODUCTION: This study developed a proposed set of person-centred quality indicators (PC-QIs) for services that assess older adults' care and support needs to determine their eligibility to receive government-funded aged care services in Australia. Individual proposed PC-QIs amenability for change within current organizational structures were explored. Barriers and opportunities to adapt service elements of the aged care assessment service to b…
Rethinking Adolescent School Nutrition Education Through a Food Systems Lens
BACKGROUND: Obesity-driven nutrition education in schools does not appear to result in healthier adolescent food choices. This study explored food systems as an alternative pedagogical approach to engage students in nutrition education. METHODS: After playing a food systems computer game, 250 13- to 16-year-old students in 5 Western Australian secondary schools, participated in group discussions to distinguish learning and interests in food syste…
Minding the gap: The importance of active facilitation in moving boundary objects from in-theory to in-use as a tool for knowledge mobilisation
The Health Inequalities Assessment Toolkit (HIAT) was developed to support those involved in health research to integrate a focus on health inequalities. Our study focuses on bringing together the concepts of boundary objects (BO) and brokers-as-bricoleurs to explain the implementation of the HIAT within a research capacity building programme. Exploring the extent to which (i) the HIAT operated as a BO and (ii) the ideal conditions to nurture and…
What constitutes a quality community aged care service—client perspectives: An international scoping study
Overwhelmingly, older Australians (people aged 65 years and older or 50 years and older for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) prefer to remain living in their own home rather than moving into residential care. To enable older Australians who require assistance to remain living at home, the Federal Government provides a wide range of community care services, the provision of which has increased substantially over the last 15 years. The…
Identifying Differences in Nutrition‐Related Learning Interests of Adolescent Students
BACKGROUND: In this study, we examined nutrition-related topics among adolescent students attending schools with different Indices of Community Socio-Educational Advantage (ICSEA). METHOD: Participating students (N = 206) from 5 schools in Western Australia completed a paper-based questionnaire on nutrition-related topics. Frequencies and independent chi-square tests were used to identify differences between sexes and school ICSEA. RESULTS: Of th…
Supporting access to activities to enhance well‐being and reduce social isolation in people living with motor neurone disease
Social prescribing aims to address the health inequalities of those living with long-term conditions, although currently it likely excludes plwMND. Future work needs to quantitatively evaluate the effects of the service on the well-being of plwMND
Communicating psychosocial well-being in motor neurone disease to staff: Results from a World Café approach
This workshop raised staff awareness on communicating QoL in MND. Future work needs to look into implementing this training in clinical practice and evaluate their impact on QoL in MND
Rethinking constructed action
We aim to demonstrate the importance of defining linguistic phenomena by using constructed action or CA (i.e. a stretch of discourse that represents one role or combination of roles depicting actions, utterances, thought, attitudes and/or feelings of one or more referents) as an example. The problem is that different assumptions about CA have led to some apparent contradictions about the nature and characteristics of this phenomenon. Based on obs…
Predicate Structures, Gesture, and Simultaneity in the Representation of Action in British Sign Language: Evidence From Deaf Children and Adults
British Sign Language (BSL) signers use a variety of structures, such as constructed action (CA), depicting constructions (DCs), or lexical verbs, to represent action and other verbal meanings. This study examines the use of these verbal predicate structures and their gestural counterparts, both separately and simultaneously, in narratives by deaf children with various levels of exposure to BSL (ages 5;1 to 7;5) and deaf adult native BSL signers.…
Framing constructed action in British Sign Language narratives
Constructed action is a discourse strategy, used widely within sign languages, in which the signer uses his/her face, head, body, hands, and/or other non-manual cues to represent a referent's actions, utterances, thoughts, feelings and/or attitudes. It is generally assumed that framing constructed action (i.e. identification of the referent) typically consists of a preceding noun phrase, but that this is optional (or even infelicitous), if the re…

Health Literacy and Depression in the Context of Home Visitation
We explored health literacy in parents as an underlying construct that develops through social interaction and reflection and involves an array of skills that enable a parent to manage personal and child health and healthcare. We hypothesized that depression impairs health literacy and impedes efforts to promote health literacy through home visitation. We analyzed an AHRQ/NIH database of 2,572 parent/child dyads compiled in a 2006-2008 quasi-expe…

Fractional Identities: The Political Arithmetic of Aboriginal Victorians
Established as a British Colony in 1835, Victoria was considered the leader in Australian indigenous administration-the first colony to legislate for the "protection" and legal victualing of Aborigines, and the first to collect statistical data on their decline and anticipated disappearance. The official record, however, excludes the data that can explain the Aborigines' stunning recovery. A painstaking investigation combining family histories; V…
Mobilizing positive reinforcement in communities to reduce youth access to tobacco
A community intervention to mobilize positive reinforcement for not selling tobacco to young people was evaluated. The intervention had five components: (a) mobilization of community support, (b) merchant education, (c) changing consequences to clerks for selling or not selling to those under 18, (d) publicity about clerks’ refusals to sell, and (e) feedback to store owners or managers about the extent of their sales to adolescents. A multiple ba…

Educational Development for the African Diaspora in Suriname
In recent years, scholars have shown increasing interest in studying the experiences of those persons of African descent who have been dispersed abroad, the African diaspora. Less well-known is the history of the diaspora in South America, especially the non-Spanish portions of that continent. This article reports on the educational condition and plans for the educational development of the Bush Negro, direct descendants of African slaves, living…

Recent Cross-Ethnic Research on the Adolescent
The purpose of this article is to summarize cross-ethnic research on the adolescent which has appeared in the literature during the past eighteen years (1960 to date). For this search, adolescence has been arbitrarily defined as embracing youth between thirteen and eighteen years of age. Thus, those studies have been included in this summary which reported having youths of this age group in the research population even though the total population…

Parochial Schools in the Black Cities
The storm of criticism directed toward public schools by various segments of American society has to some extent distracted the attention of non-Catholics from the problem of the relevance of private schools in general and parochial schools in particular to the educational aims of American society. Perhaps nonCatholics have tended to regard the whole matter as an in-house problem to be discussed and settled by those who own and support parochial …
