  • Determining the Impact of Heatwaves on Emergency Ambulance Calls in Queensland

    Open AccessHannah M Mason, Hannah Mason et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    Heatwaves are a significant and growing threat to the health and well-being of the residents of Queensland, Australia. This threat is increasing due to climate change. Excess heat increases the demand for health services, including ambulance calls, and the purpose of this study was to explore this impact across Queensland. A state-wide retrospective analysis of heatwaves and emergency 'Triple Zero' (000) calls to Queensland Ambulance (QAS) from 2…

  • Development, Implementation and Evaluation of an Educational Intervention to Prevent Low Speed Vehicle Run-Over Events

    Open AccessBronwyn Griffin, Kerrianne Watt et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    There is a growing body of literature regarding low speed vehicle runover (LSVRO) events among children. To date, no literature exists on evaluation of interventions to address this serious childhood injury. Knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour regarding LSVROs were assessed via survey at a shopping centre (pre-intervention), then five months later (post-intervention), to investigate the effect of a population level educational intervention in Que…

  • Labour force participation and the cost of lost productivity due to cancer in Australia

    Open AccessNicole Bates, Emily Callander et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    This paper is the first in Australia to estimate the national labour force participation rates of people with cancer. People with cancer were less likely to be in the labour force, resulting in a reduction in Australia's GDP. Cancer survivors, especially those without a tertiary qualification may benefit from support to return to work after a diagnosis

  • Examination of Child and Adolescent Hospital Admission Rates in Queensland, Australia, 1995–2011

    Open AccessAngela Werner, Angela K Werner et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Health Journal2018

    Objectives At present, coal seam gas (CSG) is the most common form of unconventional natural gas development occurring in Australia. Few studies have been conducted to explore the potential health impacts of CSG development on children and adolescents. This analysis presents age-specific hospitalisation rates for a child and adolescent cohort in three study areas in Queensland. Methods Three geographic areas were selected: a CSG area, a coal mini…

  • Is Increasing Coal Seam Gas Well Development Activity Associated with Increasing Hospitalisation Rates in Queensland, Australia? An Exploratory Analysis 1995–2011

    Open AccessAngela Werner, Cate Cameron et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2017

    The majority of Australia's coal seam gas (CSG) reserves are in Queensland, where the industry has expanded rapidly in recent years. Despite concerns, health data have not been examined alongside CSG development. This study examined hospitalisation rates as a function of CSG development activity in Queensland, during the period 1995-2011. Admissions data were examined with CSG well numbers, which served as a proxy for CSG development activity. Ti…

  • The role of seasonality on the diet and household food security of pregnant women living in rural Bangladesh

    Open AccessBriony Stevens, Kerrianne Watt et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2017

    Objective To investigate the association of seasonality with dietary diversity, household food security and nutritional status of pregnant women in a rural district of northern Bangladesh. Design A cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2013 to February 2015. Data were collected on demographics, household food security (using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale), dietary diversity (using the women’s dietary diversity questionnai…

  • All-age hospitalization rates in coal seam gas areas in Queensland, Australia, 1995–2011

    Open AccessAngela Werner, Angela K Werner et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    This exploratory study of all-age hospitalization rates for three study areas in Queensland suggests that certain hospital admissions rates increased more quickly in the CSG study area than in other study areas, particularly the rural area, after adjusting for key sociodemographic factors. These findings are an important first step in identifying potential health impacts of CSG in the Australian context and serve to generate hypotheses for future…

  • Drowning in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and adolescents in Queensland (Australia)

    Open AccessBelinda Wallis, Belinda A Wallis et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    For every fatal drowning among Indigenous children in Queensland aged 0-19 years there are nine non-fatal events. This previously unreported survival ratio of 9:1 indicates the non-fatal injury burden in Indigenous children aged 0-19 years. Although higher Indigenous drowning rates prevailed, no significant changes over time are concerning. Equally the apparent over-representation of Indigenous adolescent females should be weighed against the abs…

  • Developing anti-tobacco messages for Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples

    Open AccessGillian S Gould, Kerrianne Watt et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Message features, associated with successful campaigns in other populations, are starting to be used for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. A model is proposed to facilitate the development of targeted anti-tobacco messages for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Organisations could consider incorporating both components of cultural understanding-rigour to enable the growth of evidence-based practice

  • Incidence of paediatric fatal and non-fatal low speed vehicle run over events in Queensland, Australia

    Open AccessBronwyn Griffin, Bronwyn R Griffin et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    This is the most comprehensive, population-based epidemiological study on fatal and non-fatal LSVRO events to date. Results from this study indicate that LSVROs incur a substantial burden. Further research is required on the characteristics and risk factors associated with these events, in order to adequately inform injury prevention. Strategies are urgently required in order to prevent these events, especially among young children aged 0-4 years

  • Disability-adjusted life years (Dalys) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990–2010

    Open AccessChristopher J L Murray, Theo Vos et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2012

  • Quality Assurance through a Continuous Curriculum Review (CCR) Strategy

    Calvin Smith, Calvin D Smith et al.ARTICLEAssessment & Evaluation in Higher…2001

    Institutional research can be defined as "the activity in which the research effort of an academic institution is directed at the solution of its own problems and to the enhancement of its own performance" (Woodward, 1993, p. 113). This paper describes and reflects on an attempt at the University of Queensland to address the need for course quality appraisal for improvement. The strategy, Continuous Curriculum Review (CCR) is simply an attempt to…
