Identification of positive childhood experiences with the potential to mitigate childhood unhealthy weight status in children within the context of adverse childhood experiences: A prospective cohort …
A critical number of PCEs may be required to mitigate the detrimental impacts of ACEs on weight status among children. These findings reinforce the need to consider a constellation of strength-focused ecological domains to alleviate the burden of childhood obesity, particularly for children exposed to multiple adversities
Exploring associations between healthy relationships, intimate partner violence, and health at the population level
This cross-sectional study utilised a population-based sample of 1464 women and 1423 men from the 2019 New Zealand Family Violence Study to investigate associations between healthy relationships, intimate partner violence (IPV), and self-reported physical and mental health. Understandings of healthy relationships were highly prevalent, with over 90 % of women and men agreeing or strongly agreeing with each investigated healthy relationship attrib…

Intergenerational Impact of Violence Exposure: Emotional-Behavioural and School Difficulties in Children Aged 5–17
Background and Objectives: The intergenerational impacts of parental exposure to violence during childhood and adulthood have largely been investigated separately. This limits our understanding of how cumulative violence exposure over a lifespan elevates the risk of subsequent generation's maladjustment. To address this, we examined if parental exposure to violence during childhood and during adulthood was associated with increased emotional-beha…
Which Aspects of Social Support Enhance Positive Mental Health in the Context of Intimate Partner Violence
While there is evidence that social support can mitigate mental illness symptoms associated with intimate partner violence (IPV), there is a need to explore if social support can promote positive mental health. In this New Zealand (NZ) population-based study of women who had experienced physical and/or sexual violence ( n = 453), structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that most facets of social support (friends, family, and neighbors) had a si…
Methods for the 2019 New Zealand family violence study‐ a study on the association between violence exposure, health and well‐being
Family violence, which includes child abuse, intimate partner violence and elder abuse, is a problem of national and global significance. Robust evidence about the scale and consequences of the problem is needed to inform policy and practice, including information on high‐risk groups, and risk and protective factors. In this article, the methods utilised for collecting data for NZ’s 2019 Family Violence Survey are described, along with a summary …
Social-Level Factors Related to Positive Mental Health Outcomes Following Intimate Partner Violence: Results from a Population-Based Aotearoa New Zealand Sample
Intimate partner violence (IPV) continues to be an issue for women globally. There remains a gap in research about what contributes to better mental health following IPV. The sociodemographic characteristics and other factors associated with positive mental health were explored among a sample of 454 women aged 16 years and over who reported previous exposure to physical and/or sexual IPV. Sixty-six percent of women reported positive mental health…
A century of sexual abuse victimisation: A birth cohort analysis
This study examined changes in the reported prevalence of adult and child sexual abuse over the last century and explored how changes in social and political circumstances may have affected rates. Data from two population-based face-to-face surveys conducted in New Zealand (samples of 2855 women in 2003 and 1464 women in 2019) were used to produce birth cohort prevalence estimates of three forms of sexual abuse including by an intimate partner (l…
New normal - Same inequities or engaged Te Tiriti partnership
The Covid-19 lockdown over March to May 2020 meant households became their own "bubbles", with residents physically interacting only with those in their household and staying close to home.Mäori leaders recognised the potential of the lockdown to exacerbate whänau vulnerability due to confinement, financial hardship and, depending on their household, issues of crowding or isolation.Steps were quickly taken to support households with care packages…
Ngā Whakāwhitinga (standing at the crossroads): "How Māori understand what Western psychiatry calls "schizophrenia
This project explored how Māori understand experiences commonly labelled "schizophrenic" or "psychotic". Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 57 Māori participants who had either personal experiences labelled as "psychosis" or "schizophrenia", or who work with people with such experiences; including tangata whaiora (users of mental health services), tohunga (traditional healers), kaumatua/kuia (elders), Māori clinicians, cultural suppor…

I'm not the tradesman: A Case Study of District Midwifery in Nottingham and Derby 1954-1974
This paper uses oral and documentary evidence to explore district midwifery between 1954 and the 1974 re-organisation of the National Health Service. It argues that during this period district midwives saw themselves as having autonomy and prestige in their work but that this situation was fragile, conditional and ultimately short-lived. The paper will draw on evidence from midwifery casebooks and oral interviews with district midwives to explore…

Theorising Marginality and the Processes of Marginalisation
This paper sets out to theorise marginality and to map the processes of marginalisation. In doing this, it is not looking specifically at the way that this process is experienced by Māori in Aotearoa, but rather describes the processes and sees whether this is a useful way of understanding our particular situation and if it lends itself to forming responses to these processes
Profession, Skill, or Domestic Duty? Midwifery in Sheffield, 1881-1936
Midwives today trace their professional identity back to the period following the midwifery regulation of 1902, when provisions were made for the training and registration of all midwives, and for the gradual elimination of the untrained practitioner. Some historians have argued that this represented a definite break and signalled the willingness of midwives to move towards a professional status. A comparison of midwifery in Sheffield pre- and po…
