Understanding experiences of resident defence during bushfires in New South Wales, Australia
Progress and prospects for predicting wildfire spread through the wildland-urban interface
Wildfires that cross the wildland urban interface (WUI) are a major cause of property loss around the world. Recent disasters are likely exacerbated by climate change and continued expansion of urban areas. There is urgent need for better models WUI fires to improve prediction of major events, understand how fires propagate through the built environment, enabling evaluation of the vulnerability of individual buildings and the testing mitigation o…
Barriers to the implementation of psychosocial interventions on acute mental health wards
In order to successfully engage with the delivery of psychosocial interventions on acute mental health wards, staff need access to supportive leadership which champions psychological interventions, as well as training, supervision and support systems which value the demanding nature of working on mental health inpatient wards
Prod-Alert 2
Care, management, and statute each mandate restraint-reporting in psychiatric settings in England. PROD-ALERT in this journal ("PA1") correlated log incidence of restraint, log institutional size, and log detention. The period was September 2020 to August 2021. It showed a clear trend among reporters. Restraint correlated with institutional size and use of legal detention. Some large detaining providers reported no restraints per month despite th…
A flexible framework for cost-effective fire management
Fire management aims to change fire regimes. However, the challenge is to provide the optimal balance between the mitigation of risks to life and property, while ensuring a healthy environment and the protection of other key values in any given landscape. Incorporating cost-effectiveness and climate change impacts magnifies this task. We present an objective framework for quantitative comparison of the risk mitigation potential of alternative fue…
De-escalation of conflict in forensic mental health inpatient settings
Background Violence and other harms that result from conflict in forensic inpatient mental health settings are an international problem. De-escalation approaches for reducing conflict are recommended, yet the evidence-base for their use is limited. For the first time, the present study uses implementation science and behaviour change approaches to identify the specific organisational and individual behaviour change targets for enhanced de-escalat…
Wildfire recovery as a “hot moment” for creating fire-adapted communities
Evaluation of a research awareness training programme to support research involvement of older people with dementia and their care partners
BACKGROUND: Best-practice guidelines recommend that appropriate support be provided to public contributors to facilitate their involvement in research. One form of support is research awareness training. Older people with dementia and care partners were involved in four Research User Groups (RUGs) in the UK, France, Cyprus and Greece. We delivered research awareness training (RAT) to the RUGs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acceptabili…
Restraint minimisation in mental health care
Coercive practices, such as physical restraint, are used globally to respond to violent, aggressive and other behaviours displayed by mental health service users.1 A number of approaches have been designed to aid staff working within services to minimise the use of restraint and other restrictive practices. One such approach, the 'REsTRAIN Yourself' (RYS) initiative, has been evaluated in the UK. Rapid ethnography was used to explore the aspects …
Wildfire management in Mediterranean-type regions
During the last decades, climate and land use changes led to an increased prevalence of megafires in Mediterranean-type climate regions (MCRs). Here, we argue that current wildfire management policies in MCRs are destined to fail. Focused on fire suppression, these policies largely ignore ongoing climate warming and landscape-scale buildup of fuels. The result is a ‘firefighting trap’ that contributes to ongoing fuel accumulation precluding suppr…

A transdisciplinary approach to understanding the health effects of wildfire and prescribed fire smoke regimes
Prescribed burning is used to reduce the occurrence, extent and severity of uncontrolled fires in many flammable landscapes. However, epidemiologic evidence of the human health impacts of landscape fire smoke emissions is shaping fire management practice through increasingly stringent environmental regulation and public health policy. An unresolved question, critical for sustainable fire management, concerns the comparative human health effects o…
Future changes in climatic water balance determine potential for transformational shifts in Australian fire regimes
Most studies of climate change effects on fire regimes assume a gradual reorganization of pyrogeographic patterns and have not considered the potential for transformational changes in the climate-vegetation-fire relationships underlying continental-scale fire regimes. Here, we model current fire activity levels in Australia as a function of mean annual actual evapotranspiration (E) and potential evapotranspiration (E ), as proxies for fuel produc…
