The association of positive educational experiences with adolescents’ depressive symptoms
Introduction The school environment influences adolescent health through both individual experiences, such as one’s own engagement with school, and broader school-level factors, such as aggregate student levels of engagement, affecting all students. For mental-health outcomes, existing evidence more consistently supports individual-level influences than school-level effects. In relation to depression, negative student-level educational experience…
Sustaining emergency volunteer workforces
Disaster response and community resilience depend on the service of emergency volunteers, particularly those who fulfil roles that entail long-term and consistent time commitment. Given the critical role emergency volunteers play, it is vital to understand how to improve their satisfaction and commitment to continue volunteering. This paper explores the relationships between four different types of leader behaviour (task, relations, change-orient…
The association between academic pressure and adolescent mental health problems
A rapid realist review of universal interventions to promote inclusivity and acceptance of diverse sexual and gender identities in schools
Universal interventions to promote inclusivity and acceptance of diverse sexual and gender identities in schools could help to prevent mental health problems in this population. We reviewed evidence and developed programme theories to explain which universal interventions work, for whom, in which contexts and why. We conducted a rapid realist review and extracted data in context–mechanism–outcome configurations, to develop and refine programme th…
Bringing an end to the silence
Despite its inclusion in Sustainable Development Goal 5 to end all harmful gendered practices by 2030, child, early and forced marriages continue to be a pervasive problem globally. While there is consistent evidence on the physical health consequences of child marriage, there is a lack of evidence and inquiry into the mental health consequence. We completed a change-oriented Delphi study to establish consensus on priority areas of research and i…
Leading Volunteer Motivation
Events such as pandemics, natural disasters, and other social issues reveal societies’ increasing reliance on voluntary unpaid workers. However, there is a decline in people’s willingness to volunteer with established organisations. While management research has shown that leadership plays a major role in motivating and retaining paid employees, further investigation is needed to understand how leadership motivates volunteers. This paper integrat…

Using mobile technology to track wine tourists
Understanding how tourists behave when visiting a destination is invaluable information for businesses. Despite the prevalence of wine tourism and its economic contribution, prior research has typically used surveys which produce coarse data. In this study, we used an innovative mobile phone app with integrated survey and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology to examine the movements of wine tourists within an Australian wine regio…
Alcohol consumption and internalising disorders in young adults of ALSPAC
Introduction Depression and harmful alcohol consumption contribute significantly to the global health burden, but in young adults, this relationship is under-researched and conflicted. The aim of this study was to determine the sex-based prevalence and the association between internalising disorders such as depression and alcohol use disorders. Method Using the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, we assessed the sex-specific prevalen…
Leisure as an agent of social change
Having mounted a case for leisure as a human right in 2015 (McGrath, Young and Adams 2017), the organizers of the 13th Biennial (2017) Australian and New Zealand Association for Leisure Studies (AN
The Emergence, Articulation and Negotiation of a New Food Industry Initiative in Rural Australia
This article reports on research to track and trace the development and diffusion of a new initiative for clustering a diverse range of agro-food businesses located in the rural state of Tasmania, Australia. The initiative is termed 'FermenTasmania'. To structure our analysis, our research team leveraged the concepts of boundary objects and organisations, and the Triple Helix model of innovation; testing these sociological concepts and model as a…
Researcher reflexivity
Computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) programs are established tools for qualitative research. Making informed decisions when using them requires researchers to understand how they affect research practices and outcomes. In this article we consider the impact of CAQDAS on researcher reflexivity. Reviewing three decades of literature, we identify specific ‘reflexive moments’ experienced by CAQDAS users, the contexts in whic…
Aspirations and Occupational Opportunities for Aboriginals
The twin issues of education and employment are inextricably bound together for all Australian school students. In a recent issue, Mr. Hall discussed how Aboriginal students at Port Augusta High School are dealing with the problem; and he suggested that schools should engage in a program of pre-employment trainging.In this article, Mr. Lewis discusses the employment opportunities for and aspirations of Aboriginal school leavers in New South Wales…
