Universal Screening in Practice
Research shows that many academically accomplished students from disadvantaged backgrounds are not identified for gifted and talented programs. This study investigates a large sample of more than 10,000 students that took both the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) and the American College Testing (ACT) Aspire test. We examined test similarities and differences with an eye to widen the net for gifted identification in practice. This study demonstra…
Pacific contributions to global and regional climate change frameworks
Climate change presents an urgent and complex issue in the Pacific region, where global and regional frameworks provide strategic direction but lack practical guidance for implementation. This gap underscores the critical role of civil society organizations (CSOs), which often act as intermediaries translating high-level ambitions into locally grounded action. This research takes a qualitative approach, collaborating with five CSOs working across…

Objectives: The quality of intimate partner relationships strongly influences men’s mental health, yet little research attention has been given to these relationships from a strengths-based critical masculinities perspective. Addressing this knowledge gap, this photovoice study provides insights into young men’s experiences of, and perspectives about, building intimate partner relationships. Design: Photovoice methodology. Setting: This study was…
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Adventure Therapy in Anxiety‐Related Disorders
A meta‐analysis was conducted to assess the effectiveness of adventure therapy (AT) in the treatment of individuals with symptoms of anxiety‐related disorders. This study reports findings from a comprehensive literature search, including 15 databases/repositories and seven key journal‐specific searches. Studies were evaluated using standardized mean difference (SMD) and were assessed for risk of bias using funnel plot, fail‐safe N , and trim and …
Preventing suicidal behaviours with a multilevel intervention
This trial was retrospectively registered on 11 April 2013. ACTRN12613000399796
Misclassification of the mediator matters when estimating indirect effects
BACKGROUND: Confounding of mediator-outcome associations resulting in collider biases causes systematic error when estimating direct and indirect effects. However, until recently little attention has been given to the impact of misclassification bias. OBJECTIVE: To quantify the impact of non-differential and independent misclassification of a dichotomous exposure and a dichotomous mediator on three target parameters: the total effect of exposure …
Do effects of price discounts and nutrition education on food purchases vary by ethnicity, income and education? Results from a randomised, controlled trial
BACKGROUND: Reducing health inequalities requires interventions that work as well, if not better, among disadvantaged populations. The aim of this study was to determine if the effects of price discounts and tailored nutrition education on supermarket food purchases (percentage energy from saturated fat and healthy foods purchased) vary by ethnicity, household income and education. METHOD: A 2×2 factorial trial of 1104 New Zealand shoppers random…
