Factors Associated With Alcohol Use Among Individuals Commencing Treatment at Community‐Based Outpatient Treatment Centres in Australia
Prevalence and factors associated with polydrug use among clients seeking treatment for alcohol misuse
Living the Dream-Housing Perceptions and Quality of Life of Older People Living in Manufactured Home Villages
This study aimed to examine the quality of life (QoL) of manufactured home village (MHV) residents and their perceptions of village life. Surveys of 259 residents aged ≥60 years living in two MHV communities in New South Wales, Australia was undertaken. QoL scores were like that of older people in Australia generally. Residents mostly reported positive perceptions of village life. Higher QoL scores were associated with living with someone and per…
The impact of organisational factors on treatment outcomes for those seeking alcohol or other drug treatment: A systematic review
How Does the Health Literacy of Adults Residing in Social Housing Compare with That of Those Living in Other Housing Tenures in Australia? A Secondary Analysis of the Australian National Health Survey…
Increasing health literacy may be an important part of multicomponent interventions seeking to improve the health and wellbeing of social housing tenants
The health and wellbeing of Australian social housing tenants compared to people living in other types of housing
Although these findings are not unexpected, they provide more detailed evidence that social housing providers and policy makers should consider when planning future initiatives
Experiences of Patient-Centered Care Among Older Community-Dwelling Australians
Background: Older adults represent the largest consumers of health care. It is, therefore, important that they receive adequate patient-centered care to empower them to be proactive in managing their health. Aims: This study examined the proportion of older community-dwelling individuals who report receiving patient-centered care during healthcare consultations. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 117 clients of an Australian aged…
The wellbeing needs of social housing tenants in Australia: An exploratory study
More research describing tenant wellbeing needs is required to guide initiatives improving tenant wellbeing. Development of a standardised tool to measure and prioritise tenant wellbeing needs would be beneficial. There is a need for well-controlled research to establish the potential effectiveness and cost effectiveness of initiatives implemented at the policy or housing provider level. Future research must consider the multifaceted needs of thi…
Substance use treatment clinician attitudes to care for chronic disease health risk behaviours and associations of attitudes with care provision
Systematic Review of Universal Resilience-Focused Interventions Targeting Child and Adolescent Mental Health in the School Setting
Smoking and environmental characteristics of smokers with a mental illness, and associations with quitting behaviour and motivation; a cross sectional study
Modifiable characteristics of the physical and social environment, and of smoking, should be considered in smoking cessation interventions for persons with a mental illness
A Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial of a Brief Child Health Nurse Intervention to Reduce Infant Secondhand Smoke Exposure
Increasing the use of preventative health services to promote healthy eating, physical activity and weight management: The acceptability and potential effectiveness of a proactive telemarketing approa…
The findings suggest that proactive telemarketing of health services to facilitate healthy eating, physical activity or weight loss is considered highly acceptable and may be effective in encouraging service use by more than half of all adults with these behavioural risks
A cluster randomised trial of a school-based resilience intervention to decrease tobacco, alcohol and illicit drug use in secondary school students: Study protocol
ACTRN12611000606987
Evaluation of an Educational Policing Strategy to Reduce Alcohol-related Crime Associated With Licensed Premises
A cross-sectional survey of the prevalence of environmental tobacco smoke preventive care provision by child health services in Australia
The existence of major gaps in recommended ETS preventive care provision suggests a need for additional initiatives to increase such care delivery. The low prevalence of strategies that support such care delivery suggests a potential avenue to achieve this outcome
A school-based resilience intervention to decrease tobacco, alcohol and marijuana use in high school students
The results suggest that the intervention has the potential to increase resilience and protective factors, and to decrease the use of tobacco, alcohol and marijuana by adolescents. Further more rigorous research is required to confirm this potential
A cluster randomised trial to evaluate a physical activity intervention among 3-5 year old children attending long day care services: Study protocol
