‘I Think That Is a Big Step From Here to There’
A scoping review of program evaluations in non-profit alcohol and other drugs service settings
INTRODUCTION: The non-profit sector contributes significantly to preventing and reducing harm from alcohol and other drugs (AOD). However, it can experience challenges when demonstrating impact via feasible and rigorous evaluation. METHODS: We conducted a scoping review to identify characteristics of, and barriers/enablers to, evaluations completed in non-profit AOD services, and to ascertain the degree of collaboration between researchers and se…
A mixed methods evaluation of an alcohol and other drug psychoeducation program for clients with complex support needs
BACKGROUND: Clients with co-occurring and complex needs represent an important segment of the alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment population. Retaining and engaging individuals in AOD treatment is challenging, and this pursuit is further impeded when clients present with complex support needs. This study sought to establish the feasibility and acceptability of a newly developed psychoeducation program for this clientele, attending a non-reside…
Enhancing the Sustainable uptake of evidence to minimise harms from alcohol and other drugs in New South Wales, Australia
Although alcohol and other drug use is increasingly the focus of policy and research efforts, there are challenges identifying and applying evidence‐based strategies to minimise harms for alcohol and other drugs in health care and community settings. These challenges include limited available research, variability across settings, and lack of ‘fit’ between research evidence and their intended settings. In this commentary, we describe a novel appr…
A Proposal for a Best-evidence Model of Care and Program Logic for Supported Accommodation for People Released From Prison
This paper describes the development of a proposed best-evidence model of care (MoC) and program logic (PL) for supported accommodation (SA) for people released from prison. Evidence from a systematic review, interviews with clients of SA, and consultation with service providers were synthesized to develop a draft MoC that was embedded into a PL. The MoC and PL were refined in a workshop with researchers and SA providers. The MoC comprised five b…
Associations Between Supported Accommodation and Health and Re-offending Outcomes
Following release from prison, housing and health issues form a complex and mutually reinforcing dynamic, increasing reincarceration risk. Supported accommodation aims to mitigate these post-release challenges. We describe the impact of attending Rainbow Lodge (RL), a post-release supported accommodation service for men in Sydney, Australia, on criminal justice and emergency health outcomes. Our retrospective cohort study using linked administrat…

Eighteen program and policy experts, and 54 service providers, involved in the delivery of FFT-CW® across 6 districts in New South Wales, Au…
Enablers and barriers to the implementation of Multisystemic Therapy for Child Abuse and Neglect (MST-CAN) into the routine delivery of child protection services in New South Wales, Australia
Multisystemic Therapy for Child Abuse and Neglect (MST-CAN) aims to reduce the likelihood of child maltreatment and out-of-home care (OOHC) entry for high-risk children aged between six and 17 years. To identify the key enablers and barriers to implementing MST-CAN into the routine delivery of child protection services. Twenty MST-CAN and policy experts, and 25 service providers, involved in the delivery of MST-CAN in New South Wales (NSW), Austr…

Contribution of fat, sugar and salt to diets in the Pacific Islands
Objective Pacific Island countries are experiencing a high burden of diet-related non-communicable diseases; and consumption of fat, sugar and salt are important modifiable risk factors contributing to this. The present study systematically reviewed and summarized available literature on dietary intakes of fat, sugar and salt in the Pacific Islands. Design Electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect and GlobalHealth) were searched from 20…
