Cross-cultural disparities in teachers’ reports of ADHD symptoms and behavior
Teacher reports are one of the most valued methods when conducting school-based screening, identification, and treatment planning for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Yet, wide cross-national variations in the administrative diagnosis of ADHD have raised concerns about the potential impact of cultural bias on teachers’ assessments. This scoping review synthesized research exploring how teachers in diverse cultural contexts evaluat…
Parent-adolescent communication about sexual and reproductive health including HIV and STIs in Oman
Parent-adolescent sexual and reproductive health (SRH) communication plays an important role in reducing sexual risk behaviour and preventing HIV. We sought to enhance limited information about the unique barriers to parent-adolescent SRH communication in the Arab states. This mixed-methods study, using a two-phase sequential explorative design, was conducted in 15 public secondary schools (with grades 5 to 10 students aged 10 to 15 years) in Oma…
Elite-level athletes with physical impairments
Knowledge of the often-complex psycho-social factors that influence sport participation is important to increase the number of individuals with a physical impairment participating in sport, and simultaneously enhancing social inclusion and community engagement. The present study examined the sporting experiences of ten high-performing Australian athletes with a physical impairment from grassroots to elite-level. The interviews were transcribed, a…
Islamic parents’ attitudes and beliefs towards school-based sexual and reproductive health education programmes in Oman
School-based comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) programmes play an important role in reducing young people’s sexual risk behaviour and promoting health and well-being. There is limited evidence regarding the attitudes and beliefs of parents towards the implementation of school-based CSE programmes in Islamic cultural settings, including Oman, which this mixed-method study set out to explore. A convenience sample of 250 parents, with equal nu…

Strengthening Australian Families
Social connectedness has been promoted as one factor that may facilitate optimal functioning for families experiencing economic adversity. Using data from 218 Australian families, the current study explored the relative importance of social connectedness to the functioning of economically diverse families. Overall, results indicated similar levels of social connectedness and family functioning across low- and high-income groups. However, importan…
City design and its relationship with tourism crimes
This study explores city level design and its relationship to crime. We perform a comparative analysis between three tourist towns and three non-tourist control towns. The results found that tourist towns had a higher percentage of arterial roads to all roads (good prospect, quick escape) and that the percentage of streets with public space was four times as high (good prospect, good refuge, good escape). The implication for this is that tourist …

Understanding Community Attitudes Towards Tourism and Host-Guest Interaction in the Urban-Rural Border Region
An improved understanding of both community attitudes toward tourism and host-guest interaction is vital for the sustainable development of tourism. However, there are significant research deficiencies and gaps in these two related research areas. This conceptual paper looks into these glaring research gaps through a review of literature and attempts to provide solutions suggested by an ongoing research project being conducted in Melbourne, Victo…
