Feigning spectrum behaviour on the Neck Disability Index and Impact of Events Scale in whiplash associated disorder after motor vehicle crashes: A systematic assessment of classification models
Cut scores on the NDI and IES were computed, and statistical models were systematically generated to distinguish between GR with good specificity and a modest degree of sensitivity to FSB. Overall, Decision Trees out-performed other ML models with the NDI being more sensitive to FSB than the IES, or when both measures were combined. Qualitatively, questions involving symptoms interfering with concentration, work, pain intensity on the NDI, and re…
Discipline Reform, School Culture, and Student Achievement
Does relaxing strict school discipline improve student achievement, or lead to classroom disorder? We study a 2012 reform in New York City public middle schools that eliminated suspensions for non-violent, disorderly behaviour. Math scores of students in more-affected schools rose by 0.05 standard deviations over three years relative to other schools. Reading scores rose by 0.03 standard deviations. Only a small portion of these aggregate benefit…
Relationship between secondary health conditions and life satisfaction in persons with spinal cord injury: Study across twenty-one countries
Persons with SCI across the world are more likely to perceive better LS if they experience fewer SHCs and receive treatment for SHCs, in comparison to those who do not. Prevention and treatment of SHCs following SCI should be a high priority in order to improve the lived experience and enhance LS
Factors associated with long term work incapacity following a non-catastrophic road traffic injury: Analysis of a two-year prospective cohort study
This study was registered prospectively with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12613000889752)
Health literacy and recovery following a non-catastrophic road traffic injury
A wide spectrum of factors including claim status, pre-injury and psychological measures were associated with low HL in injured individuals. Our findings suggest that targeting low HL could help improve recovery outcomes after non-catastrophic injury
Impacts of injury severity on long-term outcomes following motor vehicle crashes

Comparison of physical and psychological health outcomes for motorcyclists and other road users after land transport crashes: An inception cohort study
Road user types differ in important characteristics, including pre-injury health status and recovery after injury. As vulnerable road users experiencing transport crash and considering their higher initial injury severity, the degree of recovery among motorcyclists compared with other user types is remarkable and unexplained. Health and recovery outcomes after land-transport crashes is least favourable among vehicle occupants despite their higher…
Enhancing our conceptual understanding of state and trait self-efficacy by correlational analysis of four self-efficacy scales in people with spinal cord injury
Background Self-efficacy is an important determinant of adjustment following spinal cord injury. Self-efficacy is defined as the belief that one can successfully execute behavior required to produce the desired outcomes. In its original conceptualization, self-efficacy refers to the confidence that people have in their ability to accomplish specific tasks and behaviors within a specific context. Over the years these situation specific aspects hav…
Prevalence and psychometric screening for the detection of major depressive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder in adults injured in a motor vehicle crash who are engaged in compensation
Clinical Trials registration number: ANZCTR - ACTRN12615000326594 (9th April 2015)
Describing and comparing the characteristics of injured bicyclists and other injured road users: A prospective cohort study
Minor cycling injuries were a relatively common cause of mild-moderate injury presentations to metro emergency departments. A wide spectrum of socio-demographic-, pre-injury-, and crash-related characteristics were related to cycling injuries
Factors that challenge health for people involved in the compensation process following a motor vehicle crash: A longitudinal study
Factors were found that contribute to anxiety in the compensation process. The association between catastrophising and anxiety/depressive mood suggests it is worthwhile further investigating the role of negative cognitions in compensation processes. People who score highly on catastrophising after the MVC may benefit from early psychological interventions aiming at addressing negative cognitions. Another important stressor is the interaction with…
The effectiveness of re-treatment for adolescents who stutter
This study investigated the effectiveness of re-treatment for 12 adolescents who participated in a previously reported controlled trial for stuttering two to six years ago and who were experiencing difficulties maintaining treatment gains. The programme was successful in producing significant reductions in percentage syllables stuttered (%SS), increases in syllables per minute (SPM) and speech naturalness after two years. There-treatment programm…
Managing adolescents who relapse following treatment for stuttering
Preventing relapse following treatment for stuttering remains a clinical priority. This paper introduces a relapse management programme offered to six adolescents who had improved their fluency immediately following treatment but who had relapsed in the long-term. This paper details the effectiveness of this programme. Relapse was based on the six subjects' stuttering frequency after at least two years following their original treatment. Their st…
Difficulties in implementing group cognitive behaviour therapy for spinal cord injured persons: A clinical discussion
The main purpose of this clinical discussion is to illustrate and describe some of the barriers that arise when attempting to implement group cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT) in a spinal cord injury (SCI) hospital-ward context. Difficulties encountered included patient characteristics, denial, avoidance, schedule conflicts, difficulties in group formation, and erratic attendance due to patient illness. Despite the pragmatic and motivational prob…
Psychological toxicity of bereavement: Six months after the event
Bereavement is often a highly distressing experience that can have serious consequences. Therefore, it is important for health professionals to better understand the nature of this distress and trauma. However, further research is needed in this area, for there are few controlled bereavement studies that have used standardised measures of the impact of bereavement. Furthermore, there is a need for further controlled and systematic Australian rese…
An overview of a behavioural treatment for stuttering
Stuttering can be successfully treated and treatment gains can be maintained in the long-term. Replicated results are presented that verify the above claim. Whilst replication has mostly occurred within the one clinic, similar programmes overseas have also demonstrated remedial effects of behaviour therapy for stuttering. An overview of the behaviour therapy programme is presented in an intensive cognitive-behavioural framework. Given the high in…
A scale to measure locus of control of behaviour
Many behaviour, psychotherapy and healthy life‐style programmes require subjects to take responsibility for the control of the old unwanted behaviours or to be responsible for maintaining new desired behaviours after therapy has ended. A scale to measure the locus of control of behaviour would be valuable if it could predict persons likely to relapse following apparently successful therapy. A 17‐item Likert‐type scale to measure this construct wa…
