Bridging the gap
It has long been argued that better integration of humanitarian relief and development assistance could substantially improve the efficacy of these functions and program impact. While a succession of policy instruments aim for this “common sense” objective, its achievement within operational practice remains elusive, and there has been little mapping of program-level use and good practice exemplars. This review of program data (1990–2025) identif…
I’m Not Right to Drive, but I Drove out the Gate”
Truck drivers experience an elevated risk of being involved in a fatigue-related crash or incident. In Australia, approximately one third of fatal truck crashes are fatigue-related. Various contextual factors are known to increase truck crash risk, including long working hours, irregular schedules, delays while loading and unloading and limited access to suitable rest areas. Studies investigating personal factors affecting Australian truck driver…
Economic, social and psychological drivers of labor trafficking and its impacts
Irregular maritime migration from Bangladesh to Malaysia presents serious risks for Bangladeshi laborers who seek work overseas to change their precarious living conditions. Survivors’ voices are often unheard and their motivation and experiences are largely undocumented. This study details the accounts of 25 survivors of labor trafficking, all men, from three major trafficking hubs in Bangladesh. Interviews with selected stakeholders provide ins…
Help-seeking attitudes and behaviours among humanitarian aid workers
Due to the nature of their work and operating environments, humanitarian aid workers experience higher rates of psychological distress, burnout and mental health conditions than other emergency service worker populations. Fourteen international humanitarian workers were interviewed to examine whether they seek help from others in the context of work-related distress, specifically, their attitudes and behaviors regarding personal help-seeking at s…
Humanitarian engineering at the sustainability-development nexus
Access to resources that is equitable and sustainable provides a critical foundation for community harmony and development. Both natural and human-induced disasters present major risks to sustainable development trajectories and require strategic management within regional and local plans. Climate change and its impacts, including intensified storms, flash floods, and other water-based disasters (WD), also pose a serious and increasing threat. Sm…
Predictors of stillbirths in Bangladesh
BACKGROUND: Globally, stillbirth remains a significant public health issue, particularly in developing countries such as Bangladesh. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the potential predictors of stillbirths in Bangladesh over a ten-year period. METHODS: The Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys data for the years 2004, 2007, 2011 and 2014 (n = 29,094) were used for the study to investigate the predictors of stillbirths. Stillbirth wa…
Determinants of suboptimal complementary feeding practices among children aged 6–23 months in seven francophone W est A frican countries
Suboptimal complementary feeding practices play a crucial role in the health and development of children. The objective of this research paper was to identify factors associated with suboptimal complementary feeding practices among children aged 6–23 months in seven francophone W est A frican countries, namely, B enin, B urkina F aso, C ote d' I voire, G uinea, M ali, N iger and S enegal. This study covered 22 376 children aged 6–23 months from t…
Determinants of suboptimal complementary feeding practices among children aged 6–23 months in four anglophone W est A frican countries
Suboptimal complementary feeding practices play a crucial role in the health and development of children. The objective of this research paper was to identify factors associated with suboptimal complementary feeding practices among children aged 6-23 months in seven francophone West African countries, namely, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea, Mali, Niger and Senegal. This study covered 22 376 children aged 6-23 months from the seven cou…
Comparisons of complementary feeding indicators among children aged 6–23 months in A nglophone and F rancophone W est A frican countries
Stunting, a consequence of suboptimal complementary feeding practices, continues to be a significant public health problem in West Africa. This paper aimed to compare rates of complementary feeding indicators among children aged 6-23 months between four Anglophone and seven Francophone West African countries. The data used for this study were the most recent Demographic and Health Surveys of the various countries, namely Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, …
Perceived coping & concern predict terrorism preparedness in Australia
The findings of this study suggest that terrorism preparedness behaviours are strongly associated with perceived high coping but that this relationship is also mediated by personal concerns relating to this threat. Cognitive variables such as coping self-efficacy are increasingly targeted as part of natural hazard preparedness and are a viable intervention target for terrorism preparedness initiatives. Raising individual coping perceptions may pr…
Alert but less alarmed
While an increased proportion of Australians believe that the national threat of terrorism remains high, concern about being personally affected has moderated and may reflect habituation to this threat. Key sub-groups remain disproportionately concerned, notably those with lower education and migrant groups. The dissonance observed in findings relating to Australians of migrant background appears to reflect wider socio-cultural concerns associate…
Terrorism in Australia
Low education level is a risk factor for high terrorism risk perception and concerns regarding potential impacts. The pattern of concern and response among those of migrant background may reflect secondary social impacts associated with heightened community threat, rather than the direct threat of terrorism itself. These findings highlight the need for terrorism risk communication and related strategies to address the specific concerns of these s…
Factors influencing psychological distress during a disease epidemic
Although, methodologically, this study had good internal validity, it has limited generalisability because it was not possible to identify, bound, or sample the target population accurately. However, this study is the first to collect psychological distress data from an affected population during such a disease outbreak and has potential to inform those involved in assessing the potential psychological impacts of human infectious diseases, such a…
Vulnerability and mental health
The vulnerability of children has long been recognized in terms of their development needs and the importance of protecting their physical health. The extent, severity and impact of their mental health problems, including the particular vulnerabilities associated with such problems in both childhood and through to adult life, have been less of a public health priority. Vulnerabilities come in many forms, all of which may impact on the mental heal…
Power and EDP departments
The productivity of white‐collar workers in heavily computerized sectors of the economy has collapsed in recent years. This paper suggests that one reason for this involves inefficiencies generated by EDP departments, which have created systems of control enmeshing not only workers but senior management
Mortality and two indicators of morbidity
