The health outcomes associated with HFI for children and adolescents have not been systematically synthesised. This review was conducted to support advocacy efforts for meaningful policy action to reduce HFI in households with children. Design: A sy…

Study findings create an impetus for policy and practice changes to mitigate risks to mental health and attrition to create safe and healthy working environments for public health wor…

Pilot randomized controlled trial of Embolden
Introduction: Physical mobility and social participation are essential for maintaining independence and improving quality of life with aging. These are also interrelated, with barriers to mobility leading to social isolation, as well as poor physical and mental health. Most mobility-enhancing interventions in older adults have been designed by researchers without public input and delivered in controlled settings. This traditional approach to inte…
