Development of a classification (descriptive) system for a preference‐based quality of life measure for dental caries (dental caries utility index) among adolescents
Open AccessRuvini M Hettiarachchi, Sanjeewa Kularatna et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2021
The classification system developed herein is considered an amenable tool for the subsequent development of a new PBM for dental caries. Once the scoring algorithm is completed, the classification system can be used to incorporate economic evaluations of dental caries health interventions
Children's untreated decay is positively associated with past caries experience and with current salivary loads of mutans Streptococci; negatively with self‐reported maternal iron supplements during p…
Open AccessSurani Fernando, Santhosh Kumar et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2018
This study confirms that a child's levels of untreated decay is positively associated with their past caries, and that it correlates with current levels of salivary MS. Children of mothers who reported to have taken iron supplements during pregnancy experienced less caries throughout their lives. These observations confirm the importance to offspring of monitoring maternal health throughout pregnancy and of early monitoring of children's oral hea…

Our objective was to investigate whether multivitamin use during pregnancy is associated with a reduced risk of pre-eclampsia. The effect of multivitamin use on incidence of pre-eclampsia in lean and overweight/obese women was analysed using data collected between 2006 and 2011 as part of the Environments for Healthy Livi…

Environments For Healthy Living (EFHL) Griffith birth cohort study
Open AccessCate M Cameron, P Scuffham et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012
The study sample is broadly representative of births in the region and almost all factors showed data stability over time. This study, with repeated sampling of birth cohorts over multiple years, has the potential to make important contributions to population health through evaluating longitudinal follow-up and within cohort temporal effects
Randomised controlled trial of an automated, interactive telephone intervention (TLC Diabetes) to improve type 2 diabetes management
Open AccessEmily D Williams, Dominique Bird et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012
These analyses indicate the efficacy of the Australian TLC Diabetes program with clinically significant post-intervention improvements in both glycaemic control and mental HRQL. These observed improvements, if supported and maintained by an ongoing program such as this, could significantly reduce diabetes-related complications in the longer term. Given the accessibility and feasibility of this kind of program, it has strong potential for providin…
