Self-reported suboptimal sleep and receipt of sleep assessment and treatment among persons with and without a mental health condition in Australia
The prevalence of suboptimal sleep among persons with a mental health condition in Australia is significantly higher than those without such a condition, and rates of assessment and treatment are low for both groups, but higher for people with a mental health condition. Population health interventions, including those delivered as part of routine health care, addressing suboptimal sleep are needed

Further research is needed to explor…

Epic Themes in Propertius II.9
VIRTUALLY nothing has been written about elegy 11.9 although it remains one of the finest examples of Propertius' adaptation of epic themes to elegy. For this reason it forms a nice counterpart to 11.8, a poem in which Propertius employs epic parallels in order to explore the discrepancy between literary and real erotic situations. There the Homeric hero Achilles functions as a standard against which Propertius measures himself in life and love a…

Community knowledge of cancer
Since major opportunities for the prevention and early detection of cancer rely on changing the behaviour of individuals, public education is a major focus of many cancer control organizations. Some public education messages in Australia have been constant for over a decade. Despite this, many people still do not follow recommendations for cancer prevention and early detection. Little information is available on the extent to which the community …

Total smoking bans in psychiatric inpatient services
There is a clear need to more effectively communicate to staff the evidence that consistently applied smoking bans do not increase patient aggression. There is also a need to communicate the benefits of smoking bans in aiding the delivery of smoking cessation care, and the benefits of both smoking bans and such care in aiding patients to stop smoking
