Clinical and Behavioural Heterogeneity Among Women at Increased Risk for Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a growing global health concern due to its impact on maternal and infant health. GDM risk factors vary across populations, but international comparisons using standardised assessment tools are lacking. This study aimed to examine variations in risk factors, demographics and health behaviours among pregnant women at increased risk of GDM across four international sites and to investigate factors associated wi…
Do Medical Graduates from a Rural Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship Work in Similar Rural Communities
(1) Background: Medical graduates who have undertaken longitudinal rural training have consistently been found to be more likely to become rural doctors and work in primary care settings. A limitation of such findings is the heterogeneous nature of rural medical education and contested views of what constitutes 'rurality', especially as it is often reported as a binary concept (rural compared to metropolitan). To address the identified gaps in wo…
The built environment and its association with type 2 diabetes mellitus incidence
The Community, the Workplace, and Public Health Measures
Increasing evidence of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers’ mental health and wellbeing has prompted concerns about the longer-term impacts on healthcare delivery and health workforce sustainability. For rural health services and communities, the pandemic has compounded existing challenges including workforce shortages, potentially leading to further health inequalities. This qualitative interview study aimed to explore fac…
Quality appraisal of spatial epidemiology and health geography research
Approaches Used to Describe, Measure, and Analyze Place of Practice in Dentistry, Medical, Nursing, and Allied Health Rural Graduate Workforce Research in Australia
Redressing the maldistribution of the health workforce in regional, rural, and remote geographical areas is a global issue and crucial to improving the accessibility of primary health care and specialist services. Geographical classification systems are important as they provide an objective and quantifiable measure of access and can have direct policy relevance, yet they are not always consistently applied in rural health research. It is unclear…
Public Awareness of Bowel Cancer Risk Factors, Symptoms and Screening in Tasmania, Australia
Tasmania has one of the highest bowel cancer incidence and death rates in the world. Public awareness of risk factors, symptoms, and early detection of bowel cancer is important for minimising the burden of disease. This study measured awareness levels of bowel cancer risk factors, symptoms and screening in Tasmania. An online survey of 3703 participants aged 18 years and older found that alcohol consumption, low physical activity levels, and hav…
An Aboriginal Community-Controlled Health Organization model of service delivery
Background Mobile clinics have been implemented in diverse clinical and geographical settings to provide proximal health care for specific populations. Primary health care mobile clinics have been implemented widely for Indigenous populations, with a paucity of research evaluations around service delivery models internationally. To redress factors impeding service accessibility for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, Budja Budja Aborig…
Systems thinking for Aboriginal Health
Systems thinking is increasingly applied to understand and address systemic drivers of complex health problems. In Australia, group model building, a participatory method from systems science, has been applied in various locations to engage communities in systems-based health promotion projects. To date there is limited evidence regarding GMB use with Australian Aboriginal communities. This study aimed to determine the value and acceptability of …
Theorizing Factors Mediating With the Implementation of a Patient Feedback on Safety Intervention Implemented in the Primary Care Setting
Developing safety interventions using patient feedback is valuable for creating safer systems of health care. A qualitative process evaluation of a patient feedback on safety intervention was undertaken in six primary care practices. The purpose was to theorize factors mediating with the implementation of the intervention using existing theories. The intervention required practices to obtain patient feedback on safety using a validated tool and r…
Profiling Malnutrition Prevalence among Australian Rural In-Patients Using a Retrospective Census of Electronic Medical Files over a 12-Month Period
In-patient malnutrition leads to poor outcomes and mortality, and it is largely uninvestigated in non-urban populations. This study sought to: (1) retrospectively estimate the prevalence of malnutrition as diagnosed by dietetics in the rural Australian setting; (2) establish the proportion of all patients at "nutritional risk"; and (3) explore associations between demographic and clinical factors with malnutrition diagnosis and nutritional risk. …
Mobile primary health care clinics for Indigenous populations in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States
The protocol for this review has been peer-reviewed and published in JBI Evidence Synthesis (doi: 10.11124/JBISRIR-D-19-00057)
The ripple effect
This research project was registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR) (ACTRN12616000289415) on 7th March, 2016
Geographical analysis of evaluated chronic disease programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Australian primary health care setting
A greater focus on the evaluation of chronic disease programs for Aboriginal people residing in Inner and Outer Regional areas, and Remote areas of Australia is required. Across all geographical areas further efforts should be made to conduct evaluations in partnership with Aboriginal communities residing in the geographical region of program implementation. The need for more scientifically and ethically rigorous approaches to Aboriginal health p…
Traditional vs naturalised design
This study employed a range of observation methods engaging with the concept of affordances to create a qualitative snapshot of children’s movement behaviour in two playscapes. Comparison of children’s movement behaviour in the playscapes generated the research question of whether a highly naturalised playscape provides more varied opportunities for physical activity than traditionally designed playscapes with standard equipment. Based on observa…
Online assessment of suicide stigma, literacy and effect in Australia’s rural farming community

Research protocol for a digital intervention to reduce stigma among males with a personal experience of suicide in the Australian farming community

Association of weight misperception with weight loss in a diabetes prevention program
Weight misperception should be acknowledged as a factor to be addressed when screening and identifying individuals at risk for diabetes. Screening and giving feedback is important in terms of awareness of participants' actual weight status and may have an effect on program outcomes
Occupational differences, cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle habits in South Eastern rural Australia
Previous studies have suggested that farmers have higher risks of cardiovascular disease but this is because the risk has been compared with non-rural populations. In this study, the comparison has been made with other rural occupations. Cardiovascular risk reduction programs are justified for all. Programs tailored only for agricultural workers are unwarranted
