Indigenous youth mental health
Addressing inequitable mental health harm requires not only intervening at the individual level, but also addressing the wider social ecosystems that disproportionately harm Māori youth, including colonial systems that consistently impact Indigenous youth mental health, particularly housing precarity, poverty, violence, bullying, and racism. Culturally and developmentally appropriate approaches with a focus on creating safe and inclusive societie…
Sociodemographic factors associated with food insecurity
Objective: To determine the prevalence and sociodemographic factors associated with food insecurity in the state of New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Design: Cross-sectional analysis of food insecurity data collected by the NSW Population Health Survey between 2003 and 2014. Multiple logistic regression was used to examine associations with key sociodemographic variables. Setting: NSW, Australia. Participants: 212 608 survey participants responde…
Effects of Human–Dog Interactions on Salivary Oxytocin Concentrations and Heart Rate Variability
Dog ownership is often advocated for its potential benefits to human health, with changes to oxytocin and autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity proposed as possible underlying mechanisms. The aims of the current study were to a) examine the effect of two common types of human–dog interactions (dog-walking and affiliative interactions) on salivary oxytocin concentrations and heart rate variability (HRV, an indicator of ANS activity), and b) inve…
Assessing junk food consumption among Australian children
This is the first study to provide and examine a summary measure of overall junk food consumption among Australian children. The results indicate that junk food consumption among Australian children is lower in 2015, compared with 2010. Still, the public health workforce must continue their efforts as levels of junk food consumption remain of concern among Australian children
Associations between childhood overweight, obesity, abdominal obesity and obesogenic behaviors and practices in Australian homes
Interventions to reduce the prevalence of obesity and overweight should include promoting daily breakfast, reducing screen-time, and encouraging health-promoting parenting practices. Interventions should particularly focus on those at some social disadvantage and from non-English-speaking backgrounds
