The effect of a universal, school-based social and emotional learning intervention (passport: (Skills for life) on internalizing symptoms and related outcomes during the transition from childhood to a…
Internalizing mental health difficulties impair quality of life, and their prevalence increases significantly during the transition from childhood to adolescence. This parallel cluster randomized controlled trial examined whether a universal, school-based social and emotional learning intervention (Passport: Skills for Life) could reduce internalizing symptoms and related outcomes compared with the usual school curriculum. Passport is implemented…
From rivals to partners: The cooptation of emerging powers into the climate regime
Contestation and Resilience in the Liberal International Order: The Case of Climate Change
This article examines contestation and change in the global climate change regime, considered as a suborder of the broader Liberal International Order (LIO). The extensive literature on the LIO has overlooked the important case of climate institutions. The article begins by establishing that the climate regime is indeed part of the LIO, considering both its institutional and ideational features. I then outline the most important episodes of conte…
Does ethnicity influence dementia, stroke and mortality risk? Evidence from the UK Biobank
Introduction: The number of people with dementia and stroke is increasing worldwide. There is increasing evidence that there are clinically relevant genetic differences across ethnicities. This study aims to quantify risk factors of dementia, stroke, and mortality in Asian and black participants compared to whites. Methods: = 2,358, 0.84%) participants. Cumulative incidence risk was calculated based on all incident cases occurring during the foll…
Connecting patients notified with hepatitis C to treatment (Connect Study): A randomized controlled trial of active case management by a health department to support primary care practitioners
This was the first prospective randomised study of the utility of immediate HCV notification follow-up of primary care practitioners to enhance treatment uptake using disease notification surveillance data. We demonstrated improvement in HCV RNA testing and trend toward better engagement in care, but no significant increase in treatment uptake
Hepatitis B and pregnancy: Understanding the experiences of care among pregnant women and recent mothers in metropolitan Melbourne
Women attending antenatal or post-partum care reported having overall positive experiences, particularly regarding reassurance of their child's health, but displayed misconceptions around horizontal transmission. Knowledge gained from these results can contribute to the development of targeted models of care for pregnant women and mothers with young children to ensure their successful linkage to care
Assessing the feasibility, acceptability and impacts of an education program on hepatitis B testing uptake among ethnic Chinese in Australia: Results of a randomised controlled pilot study
A tailored education program targeting ethnic Chinese in Australia was feasible with moderate acceptability. A larger study is required to determine if a liver cancer prevention message would improve HBV testing uptake in Chinese community than standard HBV education message. Supports from healthcare providers, community-based testing programs, and public health education programs are likely needed to motivate diagnostic testing among Chinese peo…
Predicting presenteeism using measures of health status
This study provides indicative evidence that two existing measures of health status (SF6D and EQ5D-5L) have a quantifiable relationship with a measure of presenteeism (WPAI) for an exemplar application of working individuals with RA. A future study should assess the external validity of the proposed mapping algorithms
A costing analysis of a state-wide, nurse-led hepatitis C treatment model in prison
Emerging Powers and Differentiation in Global Climate Institutions
The Paris Agreement on climate change brought states from the North and South together under a common framework to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. This was a remarkable institutional adjustment for a regime that had always maintained a strict distinction between developed and developing countries and imposed meaningful obligations only on the former. To better understand this change, I look at the negotiations surrounding the issue of ‘diff…
A cost-effectiveness analysis of primary versus hospital-based specialist care for direct acting antiviral hepatitis C treatment
Teach-back’ is a simple communication tool that improves disease knowledge in people with chronic hepatitis B – a pilot randomized controlled study
In a tertiary hospital liver clinic population, baseline knowledge about CHB was good, but there were focal deficits concerning transmission and potential for cure. Teach-back was associated with improvement in CHB knowledge and it is a simple communication tool suitable for incorporation into a standard medical consultation
Point-of-care hepatitis C testing from needle and syringe programs: An Australian feasibility study
Once Bitten, Twice Shy? Investment Disputes, State Sovereignty, and Change in Treaty Design
More than 3,000 international investment agreements (IIAs) provide foreign investors with substantive protections in host states and access to binding investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS). In recent years, states increasingly have sought to change their treaty commitments through the practices of renegotiation and termination, so far affecting about 300 IIAs. The received wisdom is that this development reflects a “backlash” against the regim…

International Organizations as Orchestrators
International Organizations as Orchestrators reveals how IOs leverage their limited authority and resources to increase their effectiveness, power, and autonomy from states. By 'orchestrating' intermediaries – including NGOs – IOs can shape and steer global governance without engaging in hard, direct regulation. This volume is organized around a theoretical model that emphasizes voluntary collaboration and support. An outstanding group of scholar…
Multilateralism, Bilateralism, and Regime Design
Different international regimes are built from legal instruments that vary in terms of whether they are multilateral, bilateral, or a combination thereof. We investigate the reasons for such variation. The choice between multilateralism and bilateralism is a function of the tradeoff between each instrument's relative flaw. Multilateralism is wasteful in incentives, as the same agreement is offered to all states regardless of their compliance cost…
Delayed Ratification: The Domestic Fate of Bilateral Investment Treaties
Some treaties are signed and then ratified quickly while others languish in legal limbo, unratified by one or more parties. What explains this variation in the time between signature and ratification? The international relations literature has not taken the ratification stage seriously enough, despite its obvious importance from a legal and a political perspective. We offer a systematic study of this question in the context of bilateral investmen…

Rational design in motion: Uncertainty and flexibility in the global climate regime
Recent International Relations scholarship offers valuable rational choice explanations for the design of international institutions. However, the rational design literature has relied heavily on institutional outcomes as evidence for testing models. Such studies must be complemented by research designs that analyze the decisions and bargaining that drive design choices in order to expose causal mechanisms and test a wider range of observable imp…

Coercion Through IOs: The Security Council and the Logic of Information Transmission
Why do powerful states often channel coercive policies through international organizations (IOs)? The article explains this phenomenon by theorizing the political advantages of working through a neutral institution, defined as one with heterogeneous and representative member preferences. The argument centers on the notion of strategic information transmission. IO involvement sends information about the coercer's intentions and the consequences of…
The Independence of International Organizations: Concept and Applications
Despite its widespread use in studies of domestic political institutions, the concept of “independence” has not been systematically applied to the study of international institutions. Most arguments regarding the ability of international organizations (IOs) to promote cooperation and mitigate conflict rely on the implicit assumption that such institutions possess some independence from states, and yet the field has failed to conceptualize—let alo…

Canadian Foreign Policy and Straddling Stocks; Sustainability in an Interdependent World
Canada cannot manage Straddling fish Stocks, which extend beyond Canadian waters into the high seas, without an effective foreign fisheriespolicy. This article examines the politics andfate of two such Stocks in the Northwest Atlantic; cod and Greenland halibut. More successful management of Straddling Stocks, I argue, can be achieved if enforcement policies eure conducted within theframework of multilateral ftsheries organizations. By appealing …

Assessing the feasibility, acceptability and impacts of an education program on hepatitis B testing uptake among ethnic Chinese in Australia: Results of a randomised controlled pilot study
A tailored education program targeting ethnic Chinese in Australia was feasible with moderate acceptability. A larger study is required to determine if a liver cancer prevention message would improve HBV testing uptake in Chinese community than standard HBV education message. Supports from healthcare providers, community-based testing programs, and public health education programs are likely needed to motivate diagnostic testing among Chinese peo…
