Hidden pandemic in the field of family violence during the Covid-19 pandemic
Australian Consumers’ Attitudes towards Sustainable Diet Practices Regarding Food Waste, Food Processing, and the Health Aspects of Diet
Environmentally sustainable diets are increasingly aspired to in food-based dietary guidelines across the world. However, little is known about consumer attitudes toward these diets when making food decisions. This study aimed to identify the demographic characteristics of Australian adults based on the level of attention they paid to the healthfulness of their diet, their consideration of the level of food processing, and their concern about hou…
Effectiveness of Booster Vaccinations on the Control of Covid-19 during the Spread of Omicron Variant in Malaysia
(1) Background: The assessment of vaccine effectiveness against the Omicron variant is vital in the fight against COVID-19, but research on booster vaccine efficacy using nationwide data was lacking at the time of writing. This study investigates the effectiveness of booster doses on the Omicron wave in Malaysia against COVID-19 infections and deaths; (2) Methods: This study uses nationally representative data on COVID-19 from 1 January to 31 Mar…
Measuring User Engagement with a Socially Connected, Gamified Health Promotion Mobile App
Participant engagement is an important consideration in mHealth interventions and there are no standardised measurements available to guide researchers. This paper describes the engagement index customised for the Milk Man app, a mobile app designed to engage fathers with breastfeeding and parenting information. Participants were recruited from maternity hospitals in Perth, Western Australia. An engagement index with scores ranging from 0 to 100 …
The Validation and Improvement of a Food Literacy Behavior Checklist for Food Literacy Programs
Food literacy is a multidimensional construct required to achieve diet quality. The Food Sensations ® for Adults (FSA) program aims to improve the food literacy of low to middle-income adults living in Western Australia and is funded by the Western Australian Department of Health. The original published behavior checklist used to measure change in food literacy has been revised based on experience of the facilitators and the iterative development…
Identifying Who Improves or Maintains Their Food Literacy Behaviours after Completing an Adult Program
Food Sensations for Adults is a free four-week nutrition and cooking program that teaches low- to middle-income individuals food literacy. This research aimed to compare demographic characteristics of participants who completed the program's follow-up questionnaire three months after program completion and assess whether food literacy and dietary behaviour changes were improved or maintained. Statistical analysis methods used factor scores of the…
A Recipe for Success? A Nutrient Analysis of Recipes Promoted by Supermarkets
Recipe use impacts eating habits, yet there is limited research investigating the nutritional quality of recipes. Supermarket recipe magazines command large readerships, with over 4 million readers for each of the two major Australian supermarket publications. Assessing the nutrient content of featured recipes is therefore of public health interest. The nutrient content of 312 main-meal recipes from Coles ® Magazine and Woolworths Fresh ® were an…
Identifying Participants Who Would Benefit the Most from an Adult Food-literacy Program
Food literacy programs aim to improve behaviours required to achieve a quality diet. The objectives of this study were to assess the demographic, food literacy related and dietary behaviour of participants enrolling in Food Sensations ® for Adults, a free four-week food literacy program and identify the subgroup of participants who benefit most. Cross-sectional pre-program questionnaire data (n = 1626) from participants enrolling in the program w…
Protocol for the Development of a Food Stress Index to Identify Households Most at Risk of Food Insecurity in Western Australia
Food stress, a similar concept to housing stress, occurs when a household needs to spend more than 25% of their disposable income on food. Households at risk of food stress are vulnerable to food insecurity as a result of inadequate income. A Food Stress Index (FSI) identifies at-risk households, in a particular geographic area, using a range of variables to create a single indicator. Candidate variables were identified using a multi-dimensional …
Perception v . actual intakes of junk food and sugar-sweetened beverages in Australian young adults
Perceptions and attitudes regarding JF and SSB were associated with level of consumption. Those not thinking about cutting down their intake of these foods represent an important target group as they consume more than their peers. Further research is needed to identify how amenable young adults are to changing their intake, particularly given the lack of attention paid to the health aspects of their diet

The effect of 12 weeks of aerobic, resistance or combination exercise training on cardiovascular risk factors in the overweight and obese in a randomized trial
A 12-week training program comprising of resistance or combination exercise, at moderate-intensity for 30 min, five days/week resulted in improvements in the cardiovascular risk profile in overweight and obese participants compared to no exercise. From our observations, combination exercise gave greater benefits for weight loss, fat loss and cardio-respiratory fitness than aerobic and resistance training modalities. Therefore, combination exercis…

A Western Australian Survey of Breastfeeding Initiation, Prevalence and Early Cessation Patterns
Self-Reported Weight and Height for Evaluating Obesity Control Programs
Self-reported weight and height measurements may be used for the evaluation of community-based obesity control programs with the application of correction factors. This will minimize costs associated with physical measurements
Assessment of osteoporotic fracture risk in community settings
The healthcare cost of managing osteoporotic fractures is projected to rise because of the change in population demographics. To reduce the fracture epidemic, strategies are needed to identify those at risk early to allow preventative intervention to be implemented. The aim of this study was to investigate if low-cost community-based assessments, such as calcaneal ultrasound and falls risk assessments, can discriminate a group of elderly women at…
