“Help young women to survive”
The increased pressures associated with the cost-of-living crisis (CoLC) have been demonstrated to impact population health. Research has shown that women are particularly vulnerable to negative life and health experiences associated with cost-of-living pressures, which are exacerbated by a range of gendered structural inequities. To date, very few studies have qualitatively explored the impact of the CoLC on the lives of women. A qualitative onl…
Valuing Australian parent preferences for community-based nutrition and physical activity initiatives
Parent engagement in community-based obesity prevention interventions (CBOPIs) enhances obesity prevention outcomes. Actions from CBOPIs may also have climate change-related impacts, but little is known about specific elements of CBOPIs that promote parental engagement, and whether parents prefer CBOPIs that aim to address obesity alone or obesity and climate change warrants further investigation. An unlabelled 12-choice task discrete choice expe…
Sustaining healthy food retail
Healthy food retail policies are government instruments designed to encourage healthier food and drink purchases by regulating aspects of food retail settings that influence consumer purchasing behaviour. This study examined how national and jurisdictional healthy food retail policies in Australia and New Zealand conceptualise and address the long-term sustainment of healthy food retail practices. A purposive sample of government policies and acc…

Including climate change in community-based obesity prevention interventions
CBOPIs that use double-duty actions to intentionally target obesity prevention and climate change action may play an important role in addressing two critical public health issues at the community level. Whilst CBOPI funders are supportive of double-duty actions, modifications from strategy and partnerships may be required to realise the successful implementation
Outcome measurement instruments used to measure diet-related outcomes in infancy
INTRODUCTION: Supporting positive diet behaviours during infancy is essential to support child health and prevent childhood obesity. How infant diet-related outcomes are measured in trials is crucial to determining intervention effectiveness. This scoping review examined what and how outcome measurement instruments are currently used to measure 13 infant diet-related outcomes from a previously developed core outcome set. METHODS: The databases EM…

The impacts of an mHealth intervention targeting parents on health service usage and out‐of‐pocket costs in the first 9 months of life
Mobile health (mHealth) interventions provide a low-cost, scalable approach to supporting parents with infant feeding advice with the potential to reduce health care visits and associated costs for infant feeding support. This Australian study examined the impact of the Growing healthy (GH) app on health service utilisation and out-of-pocket costs for families in the first 9 months of their infants life. A quasi-experimental study with a comparis…
Understanding weight status and dietary intakes among Australian school children by remoteness
Objective: To determine whether primary school children’s weight status and dietary behaviours vary by remoteness as defined by the Australian Modified Monash Model (MMM). Design: A cross-sectional study design was used to conduct secondary analysis of baseline data from primary school students participating in a community-based childhood obesity trial. Logistic mixed models estimated associations between remoteness, measured weight status and se…
Evaluation of a menu box delivery service for Australian long-day care services to improve food provision and child intake
Objective: To evaluate the impact of a menu box delivery service tailored to the long-day care (LDC) setting on improving menu compliance with recommendations, children’s diet quality and dietary intake while in care. Design: A cluster randomised controlled trial in LDC centres randomly assigned to an intervention (menu box delivery) or comparison (menu planning training) group. The primary outcome was child food provision and dietary intake. Sec…
“As High as I Could
News coverage around monuments and statues have served as spaces of resistance for marginalized communities. The Statute of Liberty protest of Patricia Okoumou challenged the U.S. immigration policies by connecting collective memory to media narratives. This paper argues that competing understandings of Okoumou’s protests appeared in mainstream media and the social media platform, Twitter. In response, Okoumou would start her own website and blog…
Exploring the economics of public health intervention scale-up
The findings from this study provide important information relevant to decisions on progression to a Type III implementation trial, including budget allocation, and will inform modelled economic evaluation
Sensors, sense-making and sensitivities
Is there an association between early weight status and utility-based health-related quality of life in young children
Obesity-related health impacts of fuel excise taxation- an evidence review and cost-effectiveness study
Exploratory analysis suggests that an intervention to increase fuel excise taxation may deliver obesity and physical activity related benefits. Whilst such an intervention has significant potential for cost-effectiveness, potential equity and acceptability impacts would need to be minimised. A better understanding of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a range of transport interventions is required in order to achieve more physically acti…
The Role of Employment in Preventing Continued Drug Use Among Welfare Recipients
This article utilized a panel design to analyze the relationship between employment and drug use among low-income women over a 2-year period. Five hundred and thirty four (N = 534) female welfare recipients were recruited as part of a 5-year study designed to examine the effects of chronic drug use on the transition from welfare to work. The prototypical study participant was female, single, African American, had less than a 12th grade education,…
