Urgent investment needed to reclaim lactation care and training to support Indigenous women, babies, families, and communities
Indigenous women have been nurturing and sustaining our babies through breastfeeding for thousands of years as an important practice for health, wellbeing, community and culture. Breastfeeding is key to giving our babies the best start to life. For many Indigenous women in Western colonized countries breastfeeding and cultural practices have been disrupted by the ongoing impacts of colonization. In this article, we draw on our lived experiences a…
A Scoping Review of Australian Aboriginal Early Relational Health Knowledge Systems
Australian Aboriginal people have evolved advanced relational knowledge systems for raising children and young people over thousands of years. Documentation of this knowledge within peer-reviewed literature is dispersed across a broad set of disciplines and sources that are mostly contextualised within Eurocentric frameworks. In this scoping review, we describe the literature on Australian Aboriginal Early Relational Knowledge Systems. Our aim is…
Evaluating the perceived outcome and impact of an integrated knowledge translation approach in the development of an equity reporting guideline
Integrated knowledge translation (IKT) involves active engagement of knowledge users in co-producing research, ensuring their perspectives shape study design, analysis, and reporting. This can strengthen justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) considerations. We adopted an IKT approach in developing STROBE-Equity, an equity-focused reporting guidelin extension. The perceived value of embedding JEDI principles in reporting guideline devel…
Tobacco and nicotine population health planning for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population growth
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population growth has important implications for tobacco and nicotine health planning. Using the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) DataLab, we examined weighted estimates of the absolute number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples aged 18 years and over, drawing on the 2012–13 and 2018-19 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Surveys. We compared the absolute number of people w…
Reporting of equity in observational epidemiology
Background: Observational studies can inform how we understand and address persisting health inequities through the collection, reporting and analysis of health equity factors. However, the extent to which the analysis and reporting of equity-relevant aspects in observational research are generally unknown. Thus, we aimed to systematically evaluate how equity-relevant observational studies reported equity considerations in the study design and an…
Healing and wellbeing outcomes of services for Aboriginal people based on cultural therapeutic ways
Aboriginal Australians experience disproportionately high rates of mental health problems as the result of European colonisation, and Western evidence-based treatment has been strikingly ineffective in improving the situation. Cultural Therapeutic Ways is a culturally specific healing and wellbeing practice framework developed by the Victorian Aboriginal Child and Community Agency that focuses on culturally based practices, trauma awareness, and …
Decolonising qualitative research with respectful, reciprocal, and responsible research practice
Improving Social Justice in Covid-19 Health Research
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the global imperative to address health inequities. Observational studies are a valuable source of evidence for real-world effects and impacts of implementing COVID-19 policies on the redistribution of inequities. We assembled a diverse global multi-disciplinary team to develop interim guidance for improving transparency in reporting health equity in COVID-19 observational studies. We identified 14 areas in t…
Interventions for promoting smoking cessation during pregnancy
BACKGROUND: Tobacco smoking in pregnancy remains one of the few preventable factors associated with complications in pregnancy, low birthweight, preterm birth and has serious long-term health implications for women and babies. Smoking in pregnancy is decreasing in high-income countries and increasing in low- to middle-income countries and is strongly associated with poverty, low educational attainment, poor social support and psychological illnes…
