‘Imagine what we could achieve if we were supported to thrive’ Neurodivergent scholars navigating academia
This study explores the experiences of neurodivergent academic staff, focusing on those with ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), within a higher education institution. Despite increasing support for neurodivergent university students, the experiences of neurodivergent staff remain largely underexplored and their needs unaddressed. Using collaborative autoethnography, the authors, all neurodivergent academics, share our personal narra…
Nexus Between Foreign Remittances and Women’s Empowerment in Rural Bangladesh
This study examines the impact of male out-migration and foreign remittances on women’s empowerment in rural Bangladesh, focusing on left-behind wives in migrant households (MHs). Drawing on a mixed-methods case study approach across two distinct rural districts, the research investigates how control over remittances influences women’s autonomy, mobility and decision-making power. Anchored in Kabeer’s empowerment framework and Sen’s capability ap…
Screening for coercive control with refugee women accessing settlement services
Despite challenges due to differences in language, interpretation and cultural norms, this study found it feasible to enquire about controlling behaviour with refugee women accessing settlement services, along with other forms of IPV
A Scoping Review of Access and Engagement With Mental Health Services by Young People From Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Communities in Australia
Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) young people encounter unique circumstances, which can lead to high levels of distress. However, an up‐to‐date comprehensive literature review synthesising knowledge concerning mental health issues faced by CALD young people is lacking. This scoping review aims to identify the barriers and facilitators of access and engagement with Australian mental health services experienced by CALD young people. Res…

How and why snakebite became a global health priority
BACKGROUND: Snakebite was added to the WHO neglected tropical disease (NTD) list in 2017, followed by a World Health Assembly resolution in 2018, and an explicit global target being set to reduce the burden in 2019. We aimed to understand how and why snakebite became a global health priority. METHODS: 's framework on global health network to guide the analysis. RESULTS: We conducted 20 interviews and examined 91 documents. The prioritisation of s…
Social isolation and loneliness in family caregivers of people with severe mental illness
Family caregivers of people with severe mental illness (SMI) have been increasingly observed to experience social isolation and/or loneliness (SI/L) which are risk factors for ill health. This scoping review aimed to map existing evidence and identify knowledge gaps in studies on SI/L in this population using the Arksey and O'Malley's framework. Parallel searches (2011–2021) conducted in 10 databases identified 51 publications from 18 countries f…

Benefits Associated with China’s Social Health Insurance Schemes
With the deepening of health insurance reform in China, the integration of social health insurance schemes was put on the agenda. This paper aims to illustrate the achievements and the gaps in integration by demonstrating the trends in benefits available from the three social health insurance schemes, as well as the influencing factors. Data were drawn from the three waves of the China Health and Nutrition Survey (2009, 2011, 2015) undertaken sin…
Gender, health and ageing in Fiji
This study demonstrates the feasibility and importance of applying a gender lens to the study of healthy ageing. Our findings from Fiji may be relevant to other island nations in the south Pacific which share similar challenges of population ageing, a constrained health budget and geographically-dispersed populations. The data triangulation methodology may be considered an efficient and insightful way to examine gendered responses to healthy agei…

Introduction: Our study aimed to identify factors that influence access to eye care and eye health outcomes for remote Indigenous Australians living with diabetes. Methods: In collaboration with Indigenous Community-Based Researchers (CBR) and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS), a qualitative, participatory action research approach was taken, drawing on Indigenist and decolonising methodologies. The study was undertaken in fo…
Misoprostol for the prevention of post-partum haemorrhage in Mozambique
BACKGROUND: Mozambique has high maternal mortality which is compounded by limited human resources for health, weak access to health services, and poor development indicators. In 2011, the Mozambique Ministry of Health (MoH) approved the distribution of misoprostol for the prevention of post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) at home births where oxytocin is not available. Misoprostol can be administered by a traditional birth attendant or self-administered…
A social ecological approach to understanding service utilization barriers among male survivors of sexual violence in three refugee settings
The social ecological framework allowed us to better understand the multifaceted ways that the barriers facing male survivors operate and reinforce one another, and may be useful to inform efforts promoting service uptake. Additional research is warranted in other refugee settings

Did human security forget the humans? Critically assessing evaluations of interventions with a human security dimension in Sri Lanka
During the ceasefire agreement in Sri Lanka between 2002 and 2006, a number of countries provided overseas development aid under the aegis of human security – most notably, Japan and Norway. Evaluations of such projects are essential in identifying good practice and providing an evidence base for future funding. However, for the insights of such evaluations to be seriously considered, their approach and methodology ought to be scrutinised. This p…
Complexity in Implementing Community Drowning Reduction Programs in Southern Bangladesh
Living and geographical conditions in Bangladesh expose children to a high risk of drowning. Two programs operating in the Barishal Division of Bangladesh aim to reduce drowning risk through the provision of crèches (Anchal) and swim and rescue classes (SwimSafe). Anchal provides a safe environment with early childhood education to children aged 1−5 years old, while SwimSafe teaches children aged 6−10 years old basic swimming and rescue skills. D…
Yarn about it’
Aboriginal women globally are disproportionately affected by intimate partner violence (IPV) and face additional barriers to help-seeking. It is crucial that interventions for IPV are made safe for Indigenous women, given inflated rates of statutory intervention and widespread institutional racism. As part of a larger study of antenatal IPV screening, we interviewed 12 Aboriginal Australian women about the perceived impact of an antenatal IPV rou…
Investigating the process of evidence-informed health policymaking in Bangladesh
Over the last four decades, Bangladesh has made considerable improvements in population health, this is in part due to the use of evidence to inform policymaking. This systematic review aims to better understand critical factors that have facilitated the diffusion of scientific evidence into multiple phases of health policymaking in Bangladesh. To do this an existing policy framework designed by Shiffman and Smith in 2007, was used to extract and…

Made Me Feel Connected”
Intimate partner violence (IPV) routine screening is widely implemented, yet the evidence for pathways to impact remains unclear. Of the 32 abused women interviewed 16 weeks after antenatal IPV screening, 24 reported positive impact, six reported nil positive impact, and two reported negative impact. Using qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), key conditions for positive impact were care in asking, and support and validation from the midwife. L…
Learning about sex and relationships among migrant and refugee young people in Sydney, Australia
In a multicultural nation such as Australia, it is important for young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds to have access to quality relationships and sexuality education, as they are known to be less well engaged with mainstream services. A study was undertaken to explore the complexities and opportunities for engaging this group with sexual and reproductive health information and care in Sydney, Australia. Interviews were undertaken wit…

Improving the Quality of Private Sector Delivery of Public Health Services
Despite significant successes in controlling a number of communicable diseases in low and middle income countries, important challenges remain, one being that a large proportion of patients with conditions of public health significance, such as tuberculosis, malaria, or sexually transmitted diseases, seek care in the largely unregulated 'for profit' private sector. Private providers (PPs) often offer services which are perceived by users to be mo…

Women, Health and Humanitarian Aid in Conflict
The burden of political conflict on civilian populations has increased significantly over the last few decades. Increasingly, the provision of resources and services to these populations is coming under scrutiny; we highlight here the limited attention to gender in their provision. Women and men have different exposures to situations that affect health and access to health-care and have differential power to influence decisions regarding the prov…
A triple burden for health sector reform
Violence
Violence continues to grow as a priority for public health practitioners, particularly as its causes and consequences become better understood and the potential roles for public health are better articulated. This article provides the context to “Violence: a glossary (part 1)” published in the last issue of this journal, and updates some of the data, concepts and population approaches presented in the 2002 World report on violence and health .

Killer facts, politics and other influences
Understanding the ‘evidence’ for policy is complicated. This article examines the relationship between evidence and policies on early childhood interventions in two states of Australia, revealing powerful insights into what constitutes the evidence for policy and the importance of ‘killer facts’ to decision makers. The nature of evidence in the policy environment is broad and complex, going well beyond research to incorporate policy context and p…
Violence
Violence has been explicitly identified as a significant public health problem. This glossary clarifies widely used definitions and concepts of violence within the public health field, building on those promoted through the 2002 World Report on Violence and Health. We provide definitions and concepts that can be usefully applied to identify points for public health intervention to prevent the social and health impacts of violence
Carrot and stick
The behavior of private sector health care providers will depend critically on the environment within which they operate. A bewildering array of possible regulatory and incentive setting structures exist. Most developing countries have the basic legislation for regulation, but there are frequently difficulties in enforcing such controls. While process aspects of quality of care regulation are often the responsibility of professional organizations…

A global political economy approach to Aids
Given the global spread of infection, and the global nature of the response, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is of clear relevance to scholars of international relations and international political economy. The bulk of initial research on AIDS in the early 1980s was devoted to understanding its occurrence and presentation within and across populations. This chapter argues that a global political economy approach offers further insights…

Violence and Health
Violence is a public health problem that can be understood and changed. Research over the past 2 decades has demonstrated that violence can be prevented and that, in some cases, prevention programs are more cost-effective than other policy options such as incarceration. The United States has much to contribute to—and stands to gain much from—global efforts to prevent violence. A new World Health Organization initiative presents an opportunity for…
HIV and Aids in South Africa
Ninety-eight cases of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) were reported in the Republic of South Africa by the end of 1987, and 166 by mid-December 1988. By 12 February 1990, 353 cases of AIDS had been reported: 326 in South Africans and 27 in people from either elsewhere in southern Africa or abroad. The South African patients comprised two main groups: white men with the pattern of infection typical of homosexual and bisexual men; and he…
Who tells and what happens
Routine screening of women for intimate partner violence (IPV) has been introduced in many health settings to improve identification and responsiveness to hidden abuse. This cross-sectional study aimed to understand more about how women use screening programmes to disclose and access information and services. It follows women screened in ten Australian health care settings, covering antenatal, drug and alcohol and mental health services. Two samp…

Food as an Instrument of War in Contemporary African Famines
Famine is conventionally portrayed as a natural disaster expressed in terms of food scarcity and culminating in starvation. This view has attracted criticism in recent years as the political, legal and social dimensions of famine have become more clearly understood. This paper draws upon these criticisms to understand the particular conditions of famine creation in conflict situations. Following an examination of six contemporary African famines,…

Injury control in developing countries
Where are we now? Despite the evident overall significance of accidents for public health, the number of countries that have established adequate policies and programmes based on sound scientific evidence and available safety technologies, is still too low. The situation is particularly imbalanced and detrimental to developing countries, where deaths from injuries rank now among the first five causes of general mortality, and where the protection…

Placing ethics in the centre
Issues of power and consent, confidentiality, trust, and benefit, risks to researchers, and potential harm to participants, are all contested when working with different cultures and within environments marked by violence and insecurity. Difficulty resolving these dilemmas may paralyse ethics committees, may fail to give the guidance sought by researchers, and will not help populations who are among the world's most vulnerable. Even where efforts…
