Foundations of the Alive National Centre for Mental Health Research Translation
The ALIVE National Centre for Mental Health Research Translation was established in 2021. Funded by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council's Special Initiative in Mental Health, the Centre aims to foster innovation in mental health care. Central to this aim is embedding the voices of those with lived experience into all Centre structures and activities including leadership and co-design of research priorities for mental healt…
The Use of Alcohol Pharmacotherapies and Prescription Contraceptives among Females of Reproductive Age in Australia
There is no clear clinical guidance on the use of alcohol pharmacotherapies in pregnancy due to insufficient safety information. Contraception should therefore be considered for reproductive-aged females receiving alcohol pharmacotherapies not wishing to become pregnant. This study evaluated the concurrent use of alcohol pharmacotherapies with prescription contraception and other medications in Australian females of reproductive age compared to t…
Effect of Covid-19 lockdowns on quality-of-life and health services access by socio-economic status in Australia
This study examined changes in physical and mental health quality-of-life and health services access before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic among individuals of lower and higher socio-economic status (SES) in Australia. Difference-in-differences and logistic regression models were undertaken using data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey and government data on COVID-19 lockdowns between January …
The hidden impact of alcohol on young victims
There is a noteworthy disparity between the quantity of hospital admissions attributed to alcohol-related incidents and the number of cases that are formally classified as ARH in the hospital system. This disparity highlights a more profound issue of substantial under-ascertainment or inadequate identification of ARH than previously acknowledged. Our findings justify the prioritisation of prevention strategies, beyond improvement in the documenta…
School absenteeism for children exposed to maternal incarceration and other adversities
Early life exposure to maternal incarceration is associated with absenteeism • The experience of multiple adversities confers an even greater risk to absenteeism. • Out-of-home-care placement is associated with decreased odds of absenteeism. • Effects of adversity exposures on absenteeism are strongest for adolescent children
Neonatal abstinence syndrome and other neonatal outcomes for the infants of women experiencing incarceration
Substance use during pregnancy is associated with poor neonatal outcomes. Women incarcerated during pregnancy may have a history of substance use, and their babies may be at risk of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). This study examines the incidence of NAS and other outcomes in infants born to currently or formerly incarcerated women. Infants born between 1985 and 2011 in Western Australia were divided into three mutually exclusive groups: born…
The health needs of people leaving prison with a history of methamphetamine and/or opioid use
Numeracy and literacy attainment of children exposed to maternal incarceration and other adversities
Parental incarceration has been associated with educational disadvantages for children, such as lower educational attainment, increased grade retention, and truancy and suspensions. However, children exposed to parental incarceration often experience other adversities that are also associated with educational disadvantage; the contribution of these co-occurring adversities has not been considered in previous research. This study aimed to investig…
Safety of Alprazolam Use in Pregnancy in Western Australia
The use of alprazolam in pregnancy can adversely affect maternal and neonatal health. This study examined neonatal outcomes following exposure to alprazolam in pregnancy. Women prescribed alprazolam during pregnancy ( n = 48) between 2014 and 2018 were identified from routinely-collected state administrative prescribing records and perinatal data. Two comparison groups of women; 1) prescribed alprazolam outside of pregnancy ( n = 96) and 2) women…
Young people with prior health service contacts have increased risk of repeated alcohol‐related harm hospitalisations
The Impact on Service Collaboration of Co-location of Early Childhood Services in Tasmanian Child and Family Centres
Co-location of ECS in CFCs contributed to greater cooperation and collaboration between services. However, for the potential of CFCs to be fully realised there remains a need for governance that better integrates service policies, systems and processes that explicitly support collaborative practice
The impact of implementing the 2016 WHO Recommendations on Antenatal Care for a Positive Pregnancy Experience on perinatal deaths
OBJECTIVES: To investigate if the implementation of the 2016 WHO Recommendations for a Positive Pregnancy Experience reduced perinatal mortality in a South African province. The recommendations were implemented which included increasing the number of contacts and also the content of the contacts. METHODS: Retrospective interrupted time-series analysis was conducted for all women accessing a minimum of one antenatal care contact from April 2014 to…
How outreach facilitates family engagement with universal early childhood health and education services in Tasmania, Australia
tTasmanian early childhood services (ECS) are attempting to improve their engagement with vulnera-ble families and increase the uptake of universal health and education services in this population. Thispaper presents qualitative findings from the [name] Study, focusing on the scope and role of outreachin supporting family engagement in the Tasmanian ECS. Using an ethnographic study design, over 100naturalistic observations were recorded in health…
Maternal incarceration, child protection, and infant mortality
BACKGROUND: There are no population statistics collected on a routine basis on the children of prisoners in Australia. Accordingly, their potential vulnerability to adverse outcomes remains unclear. This study draws on linked administrative data to describe the exposure of children aged less than 2 years to maternal imprisonment in Western Australia, their contact with child protection services, and infant mortality rates. RESULTS: In Western Aus…
Low birth weight and maternal incarceration in pregnancy
Western Australian infants with mothers imprisoned before or during pregnancy experience elevated risk of low birth weight and exposure to maternal substance use, injury and mental distress in pregnancy
Access to Obstetric Care and Children’s Health, Growth and Cognitive Development in Vietnam
Tobacco policy reform and population-wide antismoking activities in Australia
The declining prevalence of smoking during pregnancy between 2003 and 2011, while encouraging, does not appear to be directly related to general population antismoking activities or a pregnancy-specific campaign undertaken in this period
Mitigation of non-communicable diseases in developing countries with community health workers
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are rapidly becoming priorities in developing countries. While developed countries are more prepared in terms of skilled human resources for NCD management, developing the required human resources is still a challenge in developing countries. In this context, mobilizing community health workers (CHWs) for control of NCDs seems promising. With proper training, supervision and logistical support, CHWs can participat…
A Study of Handling Cytotoxic Drugs and Risk of Birth Defects in Offspring of Female Veterinarians
We examined the association of occupational exposure to handling cytotoxic drugs at work with risk of birth defects among a cohort of female veterinarians. This study is a follow up survey of 321 female participants (633 pregnancies) who participated in the Health Risks of Australian Veterinarian project. Data on pregnancies and exposure during each pregnancy was obtained by self-administered mailed questionnaire. Female veterinarians handling cy…
Incidence and correlates of hepatitis C virus infection in a large cohort of prisoners who have injected drugs
Injecting drugs in prison was strongly associated with HCV seropositivity, highlighting the need for increased provision of services to mitigate the risk of transmission within prisons. Once identified as seropositive through screening, people with a history of IDU and incarceration may not be promptly receiving diagnostic services, which are necessary if they are to access treatment. Improving access to HCV-related services will be of particular…
P2-167 Mental illness related disparities in diabetes prevalence, quality of care and outcomes
Introduction To compare the prevalence of diabetes, quality of care and outcomes between mental health clients (MHCs) and non-MHCs. Methods Population-based longitudinal study of 139 208 MHCs and 294 180 matched non-MHCs in Western Australia (WA) from 1990 to 2006, using linked data of WA State mental health registry, electoral roll registrations, hospital admissions, emergency department attendances, deaths, and Commonwealth Medicare and pharmac…
Mortality in Western Australian seniors with chronic respiratory diseases
Older patients with CRD not using ICS experienced the worst survival in this study and may benefit from an escalation in therapeutic regime. Males had a higher risk of death than females, which was more pronounced in the highest pharmacotherapy level group. Hence, primary health care should more actively direct disease management to mild-to-moderate disease patients
Regular Primary Care Decreases the Likelihood of Mortality in Older People With Epilepsy
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of regular general practitioner (GPs) visits, separately from the frequency of visits, on the likelihood of all-cause death and epilepsy-related hospitalization in older Western Australian (WA) patients (>or=65 years) with diagnosed epilepsy. METHODS: We used routinely collected, whole-population linked, administrative medical data to ascertain the study population, the exposure, and outcomes. We identified 3…
