The Barriers and Enablers to Implementing Child and Family Health Hubs for Migrant Families
Migrant women and children can face significant barriers when accessing child and family health services. Child and family health hubs (hubs) represent a potential solution to simplify pathways between maternity, child, and social care services for migrant populations. However, how these hubs operate specifically for migrants remains underexplored. Our study addresses this gap by exploring what helps and hinders the establishment and delivery of …
Effectiveness of a Digital Screening and Navigation Model in Addressing Unmet Social Needs among Parents and Caregivers in Priority Population Groups
Introduction: Children and families from priority populations (e.g. culturally and linguistically diverse and regional/rural communities) often experience significant psychosocial challenges and barriers to accessing health and social care. These inequities were further exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Integrating social care with health services has been proposed as an approach to improve service access and address unmet needs. Methods:…
The Building Blocks for Successful Hub Implementation for Migrant and Refugee Families and Their Children in the First 2000 Days of Life
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Migrant and refugee women, families, and their children can experience significant language, cultural, and psychosocial barriers to engage with child and family services. Integrated child and family health Hubs are increasingly promoted as a potential solution to address access barriers; however, there is scant literature on how to best implement them with migrant and refugee populations. Our aim was to explore with serv…
An orientation model for implementing and sustaining integrated health and social care hubs for early childhood development
Evidence is emerging on the efficacy of Integrated Health and Social Care (IHSC) hubs to improve the early detection and intervention of developmental vulnerability in children from culturally and linguistically diverse and/or socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. IHSC hub models typically involve co-located child and family health services and non-government organisations, which deliver a range of psychosocial services, for example playgr…
A Dynamic Approach to Economic Priority Setting to Invest in Youth Mental Health and Guide Local Implementation
Equipping SD models to undertake economic analysis is intended to support local priority setting and help optimise implementation regarding the best value mix of investments, timing and scale. The objectives are to improve allocative efficiency, increase mental health and economic productivity
Participatory Systems Modelling for Youth Mental Health
The youth mental health sector is persistently challenged by issues such as service fragmentation and inefficient resource allocation. Systems modelling and simulation, particularly utilizing participatory approaches, is offering promise in supporting evidence-informed decision making with limited resources by testing alternative strategies in safe virtual environments before implementing them in the real world. However, improved evaluation effor…
Centralisation versus regionalisation
In response to the recent Productivity Commission report into mental health, the previous Federal Government announced its intention to produce a new national agreement that lays the platform for Australia's sixth national mental health plan. It has been recommended mental health move to a more regional model of governance and planning, away from a centralised, top‐down approach, partly in response to broader reforms affecting health care, and pa…
Which Social, Economic, and Health Sector Strategies Will Deliver the Greatest Impacts for Youth Mental Health and Suicide Prevention? Protocol for an Advanced, Systems Modelling Approach
Background: Current global challenges are generating extensive social disruption and uncertainty that have the potential to undermine the mental health, wellbeing, and futures of young people. The scale and complexity of challenges call for engagement with systems science-based decision analytic tools that can capture the dynamics and interrelationships between physical, social, economic, and health systems, and support effective national and reg…
Personalised Budgets
As the Australian state of New South Wales considers the adoption of a policy of personalised budgets in child protection, questions arise regarding how such a policy could take shape and how it would impact service delivery to promote safety and well-being amongst vulnerable children. This article presents findings from a mixed-method, realist evaluation of a pilot programme that adopted some of the features of personalised budgets, namely, pers…

Bringing new tools, a regional focus, resource-sensitivity, local engagement and necessary discipline to mental health policy and planning
Systems modelling and simulation delivers an interactive decision analytic tool to test mental health reform and service planning scenarios in a safe environment before implementing them in the real world. The approach drives better decision-making and can inform the scale up of effective and contextually relevant strategies to reduce the burden of mental disorder and enhance the mental wealth of nations
Researching Social Work Practice Ethically and Developing Ethical Researchers
Social work research is an ethically significant activity in that both the processes and the outcomes have ethical ramifications for those involved. This paper discusses the ethically important moments in a multi-agency evaluation carried out by a multi-disciplinary team of researchers. It shows how the formal ethical approval process was of some benefit but was expensive, time-consuming and of limited utility when some unexpected ethical issues …

Proportionate universalism in practice? A quasi-experimental study (GoWell) of a UK neighbourhood renewal programme's impact on health inequalities
Recommendations to reduce health inequalities frequently emphasise improvements to socio-environmental determinants of health. Proponents of 'proportionate universalism' argue that such improvements should be allocated proportionally to population need. We tested whether city-wide investment in urban renewal in Glasgow (UK) was allocated to 'need' and whether this reduced health inequalities. We identified a longitudinal cohort (n = 1006) through…
No one’s discussing the elephant in the room
A perennial question in Indigenous research discourse is whether the abundance of research conducted; purportedly to improve health, is justified and benefits Indigenous people in ways that are meaningful and valued by them. Different research stakeholders have different conceptions of the value and nature of research, its conduct, what it should achieve and the kinds of benefits expected. We need to work collaboratively and listen more closely t…
Double trouble
PW_HRQoL decreases markedly with multimorbidity, and is exacerbated by higher deprivation and younger age. There is a need to prioritise interventions to improve the HRQoL for (especially younger) adults with multimorbidity in deprived areas. BOX 1: What Is Known?Prevalence and premature onset of multimorbidity increases as socioeconomic position worsens. Previous studies have investigated the effect of multimorbidity on Health Related Quality of…
Using natural experiments to evaluate population health interventions
Natural experimental studies are often recommended as a way of understanding the health impact of policies and other large scale interventions. Although they have certain advantages over planned experiments, and may be the only option when it is impossible to manipulate exposure to the intervention, natural experimental studies are more susceptible to bias. This paper introduces new guidance from the Medical Research Council to help researchers a…

which were analysed for serum cotinine and CVD risk markers. Cross-sectional associations between log cotinine and CVD risk markers were investigated using linear regression; prospective associations between log cotinine and incident CVD were analysed using Cox regression. Results: Results were similar for men and women and are reported for genders combined. Among 4749 persistent non-smokers without pre-existing CVD or diabetes, geometric mean co…
