  • Parental history of positive development and child behavior in next generation offspring

    Open AccessPrimrose Letcher, Caitlin Greenwood et al.ARTICLEChild Development2023

    This study examined whether positive development (PD) in adolescence and young adulthood predicts offspring behavior in two Australasian intergenerational cohorts. The Australian Temperament Project Generation 3 Study assessed PD at age 19–28 (years 2002–2010) and behavior in 1165 infants (12–18 months; 608 girls) of 694 Australian-born parents (age 29–35; 2012–2019; 399 mothers). The Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Parenting Stu…

  • Quality of life in people living with HIV in Aotearoa New Zealand

    Stephen Mcallister, Ella Iosua et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Quality of life (QoL) in people living with HIV (PLHIV) is reportedly worse than in people without HIV, with many factors impacting on this. We aimed to investigate QoL in PLHIV in New Zealand (NZ). In-person interviews were conducted including socio-demographic, health, social connectedness, and stigma-related questions. QoL was measured using the 13-question PozQoL Scale – summed to give a score between 13 and 65. Univariate linear regression w…

  • Is the neighbourhood context important for a tobacco retailer proximity policy

    Open AccessLouise Marsh, Ella Iosua et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2023References: 3

    A spatial modelling approach was used to explore how a proximity limit (150 m, 300 m, and 450 m) between tobacco retailers may impact different neighbourhoods in New Zealand. Neighbourhoods were categorised into three density groups (0, 1-2, 3+ retailers). As the proximity limit increases, there is a progressive redistribution of neighbourhoods in the three density groups with, the 3+ density group incorporating fewer neighbourhoods and the 0 and…

  • What impact would tobacco retailer proximity limit have on tobacco availability in New Zealand

    Open AccessLouise Marsh, Crile Doscher et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2022

    A proximity limit of 450 m would reduce retailers by 58%, but would not reach proposed critical behaviour-change threshold of 90%-95% required to reduce smoking prevalence independently. There is a need for a combination of policies, which focus on promoting equity, to achieve this bold endgame goal

  • Childhood disadvantage and adolescent socioemotional wellbeing as predictors of future parenting behaviour

    Open AccessH M McAnally, Ella Iosua et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2021

    INTRODUCTION: In extending work on early life antecedents of parenting, we investigate associations between childhood family history of disadvantage, adolescent socioemotional wellbeing, and age at first parenthood and subsequent parenting behaviour. METHODS: Parent-child interactions were recorded when participants in the longitudinal Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study (New Zealand) had a three-year-old child. Data were avail…

  • Eating frequency in relation to BMI in very young children

    Open AccessRachael W Taylor, Ella Iosua et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2017

    Objective Eating less frequently is associated with increased obesity risk in older children but data are potentially confounded by reverse causation, where bigger children eat less often in an effort to control their weight. Longitudinal data, particularly in younger children, are scarce. We aimed to determine whether eating frequency (meals and snacks) at 2 years of age is associated with past, current or subsequent BMI. Design Cohort analysis …
