Disparities in Opioid Agonist Treatment Accessibility for Priority Populations in New South Wales, Australia
Cause specific mortality across the lifespan for Fiji’s major ethnic sub-populations 2013-17
LE was higher for FID than i-Taukei females, but similar for males of both ethnicities. CVD was the leading UCoD for both sexes and ethnicities, followed by cancer for i-Taukei males and females, diabetes for FID females and external causes for FID males. Public health interventions aligned with ethnic differences in major causes of death are needed to achieve equitable health outcomes and improved LE in Fiji
Prevalence of maternal substance use problems during pregnancy and the first 2 years of life
OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prevalence of maternal substance use problems during the first 1000 days of children's lives, to inform planning and resourcing of antenatal screening and substance use in pregnancy services, alongside antenatal and postnatal health, parenting and social support services for pregnant women/new mothers and their babies. METHOD: This whole-population cohort was assembled from birth registration, perinatal and hospital da…
The burden of prenatal and early life maternal substance use among children at risk of maltreatment
Prescription opioid use among people with opioid dependence and concurrent benzodiazepine and gabapentinoid exposure
The increased mortality risk associated with benzodiazepines and gabapentinoids among PWOD appear to be reduced when engaged in OAT. A greater focus on encouraging OAT engagement, providing overdose prevention education, and access and coverage of overdose antidotes is necessary to minimise the unintended consequences of medicines use in this population

Adolescent Pregnancy in South Asia
Adolescent pregnancy has important health and social implications. Despite the availability of nationally representative household survey data, there are limited studies that analyze factors associated with adolescent pregnancy across countries of South Asia. This study aimed to identify factors associated with adolescent pregnancy across South Asia. This study used the most recent Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data from six countries in So…
Attitudes Towards Treatment as Prevention Among PrEP-Experienced Gay and Bisexual Men in Australia
The introduction of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has the potential to impact the attitudes gay and bisexual men (GBM) who consequently choose to take PrEP have towards treatment as prevention (TasP), and the extent to which they are willing to have condomless anal intercourse (CLAI) with an HIV-positive sexual partner who has an undetectable viral load (UVL). Using a cross-sectional sample from an observational cohort study conducted from …
Age at first alcohol‐related hospital separation or emergency department presentation and rate of re‐admission
Interrupted time series analysis using autoregressive integrated moving average (Arima) models
Factors Associated with Alcohol-Related Injuries for Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal Australians
Alcohol use and related injuries are a leading risk factor for deaths and disabilities in Australia, particularly for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. An improved understanding of individual and geographical community characteristics that are significantly associated with higher rates of alcohol-related injuries for specific populations can contribute to more effective efforts aimed at reducing alcohol-related injuries. For Aborigina…
Understanding barriers to fruit and vegetable intake in the Australian Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children
Objective To identify barriers to fruit and vegetable intake for Indigenous Australian children and quantify factors related to these barriers, to help understand why children do not meet recommendations for fruit and vegetable intake. Design We examined factors related to carer-reported barriers using multilevel Poisson models (robust variance); a key informant focus group guided our interpretation of findings. Setting Eleven diverse sites acros…
Cryptosporidiosis Risk in New Zealand Children Under 5 Years Old is Greatest in Areas with High Dairy Cattle Densities
Increased prevalence of self-reported psychotic illness predicted by crystal methamphetamine use
A place to call home
This study will systematically evaluate the efficacy of a scatter site model (Platform 70) and a congregated model (Common Ground) of the Housing First approach; an examination that has not yet been made either in Australia or internationally. A clear strength of the study is its timing. It was designed and implemented as the programs in question themselves were introduced. Moreover, the programs were introduced when the Australian Government, wi…
