Māori perspectives on a potential low dose CT lung cancer screening programme in Aotearoa New Zealand
Lung cancer screening reduces lung cancer mortality by at least 20%. If implemented equitably, it has the potential to reduce inequities for Māori (the Indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand), whose rates of lung cancer are significantly higher than non-Māori. Our aim was to inform the equitable implementation of potential future lung cancer screening in Aotearoa by understanding the acceptability, decision making processes and design preferen…
Influence of park visitation on physical activity, well-being and social connectedness among Australians during Covid-19
This cross-sectional study examined associations of park visitation with physical activity (PA), well-being, and social connectedness among 1089 participants during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. In August 2020, adolescents and adults in Australia self-reported demographics, usual park visitation, frequency and duration of park visits, PA, well-being and social connectedness. Multilevel linear regression models examined associations of pa…
Understanding Australian adolescent girls’ use of digital technologies for healthy lifestyle purposes
The findings reiterate that one size doesn't fit all girls, and often one size might not even fit one girl, and thus highlight the challenge of catering to such varied use cases. Overall, it appears that current digital technology offerings meet the needs and preferences of adolescent girls for healthy lifestyle purposes, however there may be benefit in allowing greater customisation of use, and consumer driven tailoring of content, according to …
"Side By Side With a Ruinous, Ever-Present Past"
This article explores the need for and applications of trauma-informed teaching in eighteenth-century studies, particularly around representations of sexual trauma (rape) and consent. The prevalence of trauma guarantees its presence in our classrooms, even and especially in its absences. As the field of eighteenth-century studies continues to reframe its white, Eurocentric, male-dominated past through more intentionally inclusive research and tea…
Covid-19 and physical inactivity
n March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 as a global pandemic. To limit its spread, most countries recommended social distancing, quarantine and self-isolation, and closure of schools and most businesses. This has resulted in a substantial negative impact on human society regarding health, economy, and lifestyle. In turn, health care policymakers focused on diagnosis and management of COVID-19, as well as the develo…
Changes in Families’ Leisure, Educational/Work and Social Screen Time Behaviours before and during Covid-19 in Australia
This study aimed to understand differences in leisure, educational/work and social screen time behaviours experienced by parents and children due to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, which may inform behaviour change strategies and policy in the transition to a COVID-normal life. Participants in the "Our Life at Home" study ( n = 218 parents from Australia, 43.4 ± 6.8 years, 88% female) completed a cross-sectional online survey in April/May 2020. P…
Home-based screen time behaviors amongst youth and their parents
Three familial typologies of screen time behaviors were identified. The findings highlight that screen time in the home can be influenced by the home environment, parental behaviours and role modelling, child preferences as well as school policies. Findings can inform the development of family screen time interventions, however more research exploring the influence of factors outside of the home is warranted
Public open space exposure measures in Australian health research
Numerous studies have shown associations between public open space and a variety of health outcomes. Yet the extent to which firm conclusions and planning policy recommendations can be drawn from this body of work depends on how public open space availability has been measured and reported. Other researchers have highlighted potential issues with the way that public open space has been measured but have not systematically assessed the extent of t…
Informing Behaviour Change
Home-based interventions targeting children's sedentary behaviours have had limited and inconsistent effectiveness, possibly due to a mismatch between the behaviours targeted, the behaviours actually performed, and health-risk messages parents need to initiate change. Between October 2017-February 2018, 540 parents completed an online survey indicating their own and their child's participation in 15 home-based sedentary behaviours (child mean age…
Ecological correlates of activity-related behavior typologies among adolescents
A range of intrapersonal, interpersonal and environmental correlates appear to play a role in adolescent activity-related typology membership. The findings may inform public health interventions targeting unique adolescent subgroups most at risk of poor health outcomes based on their engagement in combinations of activity-related behaviors
Recovering 18th‐century erotica
This article considers the often productive overlap between feminist scholarship of recovery in 18th‐century literature and the ongoing work of erotic studies. Considering how revisionist feminist scholarship has revitalized a field often (wrongly) considered to be male‐dominated, this study aims to highlight some of the most exciting recent crossover work in gender and sexuality studies
Longitudinal Changes in Sitting Patterns, Physical Activity, and Health Outcomes in Adolescents
This study examined two-year changes in patterns of activity and associations with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) among adolescents. Inclinometers (activPAL) assessed sitting, sitting bouts, standing, stepping, and breaks from sitting. ActiGraph-accelerometers assessed sedentary time (SED), light-intensity physical activity (LIPA, stratified as low- and high-LIPA), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Anthropomet…
The impact of a new McDonald's restaurant on eating behaviours and perceptions of local residents
Surviving Bhopal
In December of 1984, a Union Carbide plant in Bhopal was the site of an industrial catastrophe, a gas leak of enormous proportions resulting in the deaths of thousands of area residents and an unto...
