Real-time recording
Today, children are exposed to an unprecedented amount of marketing for high-fat, sugar and salt (HFSS) foods and non-alcoholic beverages. Exposure to HFSS products influences children's food preferences and consumption patterns. As children increasingly live, learn and play online, understanding their exposure to food and food marketing in digital environments has become a growing area of research. Real-time recording of children's devices offer…
Key informants’ views on the benefits, planning and implementation of workplace oral health promotion programme
This study aimed to explore key informants’ views on the potential benefits of workplace oral health promotion (WOHP) among the aged care workforce and identified factors associated with the planning and implementation of such activities. The study interviewed members of key organizations associated with the aged care workforce, including oral health and health professionals, government and non-governmental organizations, aged care providers, uni…
Child’s-eye views of smartphone-based gaming content
Children’s engagement with smartphone-based (online) gaming content is rapidly increasing. There appears to be no existing objective evidence of children’s exposure to this content captured in real time. Evidence on preteens’ smartphone-based gaming is especially scarce. This study aimed to objectively explore the nature and extent of preteens’ exposure to smartphone-based gaming content. Sixty-six children aged 11–13 years from 16 schools in the…
Clearing the haze
Marketing of tobacco and vape products is effective at recruiting new users; yet, little is known about children’s online exposure to such material. This research aimed to develop a methodology for assessing children’s exposure to, and engagement with, online tobacco and vape marketing. This pilot study used data from the innovative Kids Online Aotearoa Study in which 156 11–13-year-olds from schools in the Wellington region of Aotearoa New Zeala…
Food tax policies in Pacific Island Countries and Territories
Objective: To systematically identify and review food taxation policy changes in Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs). Design: Food taxation polices, regarding excise taxes and tariffs applied from 2000 to 2020 in twenty-two PICTs, and their key characteristics were reviewed. The search was conducted using databases, government legal repositories and broad-based search engines. Identified documents for screening included legislation, …
Comparison of ten policy options to equitably reduce children’s exposure to unhealthy food marketing
Objective: Reducing children’s exposure to unhealthy food marketing is crucial to combat childhood obesity. We aimed to estimate the reduction of children’s exposure to food marketing under different policy scenarios and assess exposure differences by socio-economic status. Design: Data on children’s exposure to unhealthy food marketing were compiled from a previous cross-sectional study in which children ( n 168) wore wearable cameras and Global…
Putting the Mouth Into the Head-to-Toe Assessment
Background: Oral care is one of the most neglected nursing practices, lacking oral care protocols, efficient training, and awareness of the benefits for clients. In particular, there is a gap in research for nursing oral health assessment training for nursing curricula. Method: This study explored the effects of interprofessional collaboration (IPC) training between nurses and oral health therapists (OHT) using newly developed oral health assessm…
It’s more than just physical
This study investigated the experiences of pain and pain management among Māori with cancer in Aotearoa New Zealand. Using a qualitative study design underpinned by kaupapa Māori research principles, focus group hui and interviews were held with Māori with cancer and their whānau (n=24). We identified themes relating to holistic experiences of pain and pain management, the importance of appropriate support and good communication, and intertwined …
Palliative care and quality of life needs and outcomes for Māori with cancer
There are access, treatment and morbidity inequities for Māori (Indigenous people of New Zealand) with cancer in Aotearoa (New Zealand). This includes inequities in quality of life and experiences of the palliative care setting for Māori. This review included 20 papers that were identified through a combination of our literature review and key informant surveys. In this review, we consider the context of palliative care and cancer quality of care…
Evaluation of a tailored oral health promotion intervention for Syrian former refugees in New Zealand
To investigate a health promotion strategy to improve oral health among former refugees in New Zealand. Former refugees were recruited (n = 63) and answered a questionnaire about their oral home care, smoking, sugar consumption and use of dental services. Participants then joined either focus group sessions to co-design oral health educational material (n = 39) or to be dentally examined for oral hygiene, periodontal health, gingivitis and dental…

Opioid Exposures Reported to U.S. Poison Centers
OBJECTIVE: Opioid-related deaths are a leading cause of accidental deaths in the United States (U.S.). This study aims to examine the national trends in opioid exposures reported to U.S. poison centers (PCs). METHODS: The National Poison Data System (NPDS) was queried for opioid exposures between 2011 and 2018. We descriptively assessed the demographic and clinical characteristics. Trends in opioid frequencies and rates were analyzed using Poisso…
Studying third-parties and environments
Wearable cameras have been used to study health behaviours, but their utility in assessing third-party behaviours and the built environment is uncertain. This paper reports on the feasibility of using wearable cameras for this purpose in a study of sun-protective behaviours and shade availability during school lunch-breaks. The Kids’Cam study provided 168 children (aged 11–13 years), recruited from 16 randomly selected schools in the Wellington r…
Me’akai in Tonga
Unhealthy food consumption is a key driver of the global pandemic in non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The Government of Tonga has prioritised NCD prevention due to the very high rates of NCDs in the Kingdom. This research examines the nature and context of the me'akai (food) consumed by Tongan children in Ha'apai using wearable cameras. Thirty-six randomly selected 11-year-old children used wearable cameras to record their lives for three days, …

Measuring Blue Space Visibility and ‘Blue Recreation’ in the Everyday Lives of Children in a Capital City
Blue spaces (water bodies) may promote positive mental and physical health through opportunities for relaxation, recreation, and social connections. However, we know little about the nature and extent of everyday exposure to blue spaces, particularly in settings outside the home or among children, nor whether exposure varies by individual or household characteristics. Wearable cameras offer a novel, reliable method for blue space exposure measure…
Housing as a Determinant of Tongan Children’s Health
Housing is a significant determinant of health, particularly in developing countries such as Tonga. Currently, very little is known about the quality of the housing in Tonga, as is the case with many developing countries, nor about the interaction between children and the home environment. This study aimed to identify the nature and extent of health risk factors and behaviours in Tongan houses from a child's perspective. An innovative methodology…

Capturing exposures
Children's exposure to food marketing across multiple everyday settings, a key environmental influence on health, has not yet been objectively documented. Wearable automated cameras (ACs) may have the potential to provide an objective account of this exposure. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of using ACs to document children's exposure to food marketing in multiple settings. A convenience sample of six participants (aged 12…

Global influences on milk purchasing in New Zealand – implications for health and inequalities
BACKGROUND: Economic changes and policy reforms, consistent with economic globalization, in New Zealand in the mid-1980s, combined with the recent global demand for dairy products, particularly from countries undergoing a 'nutrition transition', have created an environment where a proportion of the New Zealand population is now experiencing financial difficulty purchasing milk. This situation has the potential to adversely affect health. DISCUSSI…
Humor, Unlaughter, and Boundary Maintenance
Some joke performances are meant to elicit differential responses-laughter from some, and unlaughter from salient others-and so serve as powerful methods for heightening group boundaries. This article illustrates this thesis by analyzing audience responses to practical jokes and to the Muhammad cartoons that aroused worldwide controversy in 2006. To further make this case, I will delineate a theory of the audience for humor. Such a theory has her…

Arbiters of Truth at Play
On April Fools' Day, journalists from every media take advantage of the occasion to pass off fabricated stories as news. While entertaining, these media hoaxes flout journalistic ethics and disappoint the public's expectation that the media are reliable arbiters of truth. This play arises from and dramatises the incongruities of the journalistic obligation to entertain as well as inform. Further, hoaxes uncover the media's role in the social cons…

Introduction
The mission of folklorists has been described as looking at the overlooked that is, studying the parts of culture that are beneath the attention of other academic disciplines and attaching the same value to the artistry and creativity of ordinary people that is more often applied only to the culture of the elite.1 In New Zealand, however, the study of folklore has been almost non-existent. In surveys of world folklore, New Zealand is almost never…

The Ephemeral Tradition of Extravaganza
For decades, New Zealand student capping shows were a popular tradition in university centres around the country. However, they were an extremely high-context, localized, and ephemeral tradition. Little material from these shows persisted in tradition beyond the year they were composed. "Ephemeral tradition" sounds like an oxymoron; how can such a thing exist, and if so, how is it relevant to the concerns of folklorists? Using Victoria University…
