Entry points for driving systemic change toward a more sustainable future
Achieving inclusive human development within planetary boundaries is an urgent and complex sustainability challenge. Despite growing interest in sustainability transitions and transformations, existing guidance on how to effectively catalyze systemic change remains fragmented, limiting progress in research and practice. A clear synthesis is needed to integrate diverse knowledge and guide transformative action. Here, we present an integrated frame…
A Qualitative Study of Understanding Reasons for Self-Harm in Adolescent Girls
Objective: Self-harm is an important public health issue in the UK. Young people who self-harm frequently feel misunderstood, and unable to access help. Improving understanding is key to informing the development and delivery of effective treatments and services. Methods: In this qualitative study, we interviewed nine adolescent girls (13-17 years old) with recurrent self-harm, recruited from NHS specialist child and adolescent mental health serv…
Family cohesion and school belongingness
This study explores the protective effects of family cohesion and school belongingness against the negative consequences of bullying. 481 immigrant and nonimmigrant US middle-school students (Mage = 13.28(0.87), 49% female; 36% ethnic minority) self-reported their experiences being bullied, school belongingness, family cohesion, and socioemotional well-being measured as externalizing, internalizing, and prosocial behaviors. First- or second-gener…
Changes in weight status, quality of life and behaviours of South Australian primary school children

Double Standards in Sentence Structure
Previous research has shown that passive voice predominates in mass media reports describing male violence against women. However, there has been little systematic study of narratives describing female violence against men. The authors analyzed the impact of perpetrator gender on verb voice, first in a content analysis of published news stories and second in a new procedure for eliciting written narratives with male or female perpetrators. Result…
Do Animal-Assisted Activities Effectively Treat Depression? A Meta-Analysis
We conducted a meta-analysis to determine the effectiveness of animal-assisted activities (AAA) and animal-assisted therapy (AAT) for reducing depressive symptoms in humans. To be included in the meta-analysis, studies had to demonstrate random assignment, include a comparison/control group, use AAA or AAT, use a self-report measure of depression, and report sufficient information to calculate effect sizes, a statistical standardization of the st…
Anthropometric indices predict physical function and mobility in older Australians
Objective: To evaluate, in terms of function and mobility, the predictive value of commonly adopted anthropometric ‘definitions’ used in the nutritional assessment of older adults, in a cohort of older Australians. Design: Prospective cohort study – Australian Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ALSA). Setting: Adelaide, South Australia (1992–1994). Subjects: Data were analysed from 1272 non-institutionalised (685 males, 587 females) older adults ≥70 y…
Frequency and Specificity of Referents to Violence in News Reports of Anti-gay Attacks
Two studies were conducted to test the hypotheses that: (1) news reports of anti-gay attacks would use fewer and vaguer referents to the violence than similar stories about attacks against straight persons; and (2) this milder use of referents would cause readers to perceive less harm done and to blame the perpetrator less. A content analysis of two newspapers found that one used far fewer, less specific nominals to refer to anti-gay than to anti…
