The Perceived Social Determinants of Mental Health among African Youth Refugees in South Australia
This qualitative study explored the social determinants of mental health among African youths in South Australia, revealing five major themes: displacement and migration, family relationships and dynamics, social exclusion, racism and discrimination, and unemployment and education. The findings indicate that many participants experienced significant displacement due to armed conflict, leading to prolonged migration journeys and feelings of discon…
Rural–Urban Disparities in In‐Home Care Journeys in Sparsely Populated Areas
This paper investigates rural–urban disparities in the experiences of in‐home care services for older adults in a sparsely populated municipality (Storuman) in Northern Sweden. Such municipalities are characterised by long‐term population loss and ageing, an increasing concentration of residents and services in municipal centres and resultant rural ‘resource deserts’. Disparities are measured through four ‘endpoint’ measures—exits to residential …

Economic development and urbanization can result in nutritional status shifts
Cultural Identity as a Determinant of Health among South Sudanese in Sydney, Australia
Background. The issue of identity has been widely explored among migrant populations in western countries in the context of cultural integrations and acculturations. However, there is less evidence on identity as a determinant of health and social wellbeing. This study reports on identity as a determinant of health among the South Sudanese community who arrived as refugees through an Australian humanitarian program in the early 2000s. Methods. A …
Equitable teaching for cultural and linguistic diversity
While the impacts of COVID-19 on higher education are still unfolding, it is clear that the disruption caused by the pandemic has provided a warrant to re-consider existing teaching and learning practices. We provide a reading on whether existing teaching and learning practices should be retained or whether new practices can and should emerge through the lens of culturally and linguistically diverse migrant and refugee (CALDMR) students. These st…
A “toolkit” for rural aged care? Global insights from a scoping review
Community-based social models of care for seniors promote better outcomes in terms of quality of life, managing chronic illness and life expectancy than institutional care. However, small rural areas in high income countries face an ongoing crisis in coordinating care related to service mix, workforce and access. A scoping review was conducted to examine initiatives that promoted integrated models of multisectoral, collaborative aged care in rura…
Food behaviours and eating habits among Sub-Saharan African migrant mothers of school-aged children in South Australia
Overweight, obesity and chronic conditions like diabetes, stroke and heart disease represent a significant burden to public health. Traditional foods and healthy dietary habits can reduce the risk of these conditions. Therefore, this study aimed to explore traditional food patterns and eating habits among Sub-Saharan African migrant mothers of school-aged children in South Australia. The study was a qualitative inquiry that used face-to-face inte…

The study employed a qualitative inquiry, conducting 23 individual interviews and one focus group discussion with eight participants. An acculturative stress model informed data analysis, interpretati…
A cross-sectional study of Covid-19 impacts in culturally and linguistically diverse communities in greater Western Sydney, Australia
The finding demonstrates that the "high" number of respondents had the same situation as before COVID-19 and highlights the level of resilience exhibited by CALD communities in the Australian context. It also suggests that services in Australia were good during the pandemic. However, enhanced policy and initiatives designed to meet the CALD population's needs are required, particularly in the areas most reported to have been disrupted by changes …
Socioeconomic Inequalities and HIV Testing During Antenatal Care in High- Medium- and Low-Conflict Intensity Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa
Reflections on Covid-19 and impacts on equitable participation
While the impacts of COVID-19 on education are yet to be fully realised, the equity implications of pivoting to remote learning are already clear. The decision to close schools exposed significant vulnerabilities in the education system (particularly in the public school system), with equity cohorts particularly disadvantaged (Wilson and Mude, 2020), and discussions of the â digital divideâ dominated the news cycle (for example, Duffy, 2020; Hunt…
