Increased diagnosis of attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder despite stable hyperactive/inattentive behaviours: Evidence from two birth cohorts of Australian children
BACKGROUND: Globally, ADHD diagnoses have increased substantially and there is concern that this trend does not necessarily reflect improved detection of cases but that overdiagnosis may be occurring. We directly compared ADHD diagnoses with ADHD-related behaviours and looked for changes across time among Australian children in a large, population-based prospective cohort study. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of the Longitudinal Study…
Implementation of risk stratification within bowel cancer screening: A community jury study exploring public acceptability and communication needs
From the perspective of public acceptability, risk stratification using current data could be implemented immediately, ahead of more complex strategies. Collecting additional data for lifestyle and/or genetic risk assessment was also considered acceptable but the practicalities of collecting such data and how the programme would be communicated require careful consideration
A community jury study exploring the public acceptability of using risk stratification to determine eligibility for cancer screening
INTRODUCTION: Using risk stratification to determine eligibility for cancer screening is likely to improve the efficiency of screening programmes by targeting resources towards those most likely to benefit. We aimed to explore the implications of this approach from a societal perspective by understanding public views on the most acceptable stratification strategies. METHODS: We conducted three online community juries with 9 or 10 participants in …
Consequences of a Diagnostic Label: A Systematic Scoping Review and Thematic Framework
Objectives: To develop a thematic framework for the range of consequences arising from a diagnostic label from an individual, family/caregiver, healthcare professional, and community perspective. Design: Systematic scoping review of qualitative studies. Search Strategy: We searched PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane, and CINAHL for primary studies and syntheses of primary studies that explore the consequences of labelling non-cancer diagnoses. Re…
A Community Jury on initiating weight management conversations in primary care
BACKGROUND: Current guidelines recommend that patients attending general practice should be screened for excess weight, and provided with weight management advice. OBJECTIVE: This study sought to elicit the views of people with overweight and obesity about the role of GPs in initiating conversations about weight management. METHODS: Participants with a body mass index ≥25 were recruited from a region in Australia to take part in a Community Jury.…
How do people understand overtesting and overdiagnosis? Systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative research
Exploring women’s priorities for the potential consequences of a gestational diabetes diagnosis: A pilot community jury
BACKGROUND: There is no international diagnostic agreement for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). In 2014, Australia adopted a new definition and testing procedure. Since then, significantly more women have been diagnosed with GDM but with little difference in health outcomes. We explored the priorities and preferences of women potentially impacted by a GDM diagnosis. METHOD: We recruited 15 women from the Gold Coast, Australia, to participate …
An Australian community jury to consider case‐finding for dementia: Differences between informed community preferences and general practice guidelines
BACKGROUND: Case-finding for dementia is practised by general practitioners (GPs) in Australia but without an awareness of community preferences. We explored the values and preferences of informed community members around case-finding for dementia in Australian general practice. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: A before and after, mixed-methods study in Gold Coast, Australia, with ten community members aged 50-70. INTERVENTION: A 2-day citizen/c…
Developing and applying a deductive coding framework to assess the goals of Citizen/Community Jury deliberations
BACKGROUND: Public participation in health policy decision making is thought to improve the quality of the decisions and enhance their legitimacy. Citizen/Community Juries (CJs) are a form of public participation that aims to elicit an informed community perspective on controversial topics. Reporting standards for CJ processes have already been proposed. However, less clarity exists about the standards for what constitutes a good quality CJ delib…
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy: A Meta-analysis
CJC heck Stage 1: Development and testing of a checklist for reporting community juries – Delphi process and analysis of studies published in 1996–2015
BACKGROUND: Opportunities for community members to actively participate in policy development are increasing. Community/citizen's juries (CJs) are a deliberative democratic process aimed to illicit informed community perspectives on difficult topics. But how comprehensive these processes are reported in peer-reviewed literature is unknown. Adequate reporting of methodology enables others to judge process quality, compare outcomes, facilitate crit…

Anticipated Coping With Interpersonal Stressors: Links With the Emotional Reactions of Sadness, Anger, and Fear
The same stressor can evoke different emotions across individuals, and emotions can prompt certain coping responses. Responding to four videotaped interpersonal stressors, adolescents ( N = 230, X ̄ a g e = 10 years) reported their sadness, fear and anger, and 12 coping strategies. After identifying emotion patterns using cluster analysis, associations with coping were examined. Intensity of emotion, and emotion and stressor type were associated …
