The impact of personal health literacy and school health literacy environments on schoolteachers' health outcomes
Background: The relationship between personal health literacy and health outcomes is clear, but the role of health literacy environments is often overlooked. This study examined associations between personal health literacy, school health literacy environments and health outcomes among schoolteachers. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 7,364 schoolteachers in Zhengzhou, China. Personal health literacy was measured by the Health …
Early Family Influences on Mental Health Competence and Difficulties for Children From Priority Populations
Child mental health competence and difficulties are distributed inequitably. Children from priority populations (rural children, children experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage, children from visible minorities) are disproportionately affected by systemic barriers impacting mental health. To develop effective equity‐focused strategies, it's essential to understand the distribution and shared/unique drivers of mental health outcomes for these gro…
Measuring Child Disadvantage
Robust measurement of disadvantage is essential to identifying and addressing inequities in children's development. We tested how a multidimensional framework of child disadvantage performed relative to a traditional socioeconomic position (SEP) approach to predict developmental outcomes. We utilised data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children ( n = 5107). Disadvantage at ages 4–5 was measured using: (1) family‐level SEP; (2) four soc…
Measuring General Health Literacy in Chinese adults
The HLS 19 -Q12 is a reliable and valid instrument to measure health literacy in our sample. Further validation is needed with a more nationally representative sample of Chinese adults. The HLS 19 -Q12 could be used as a comprehensive, skills-based, and easy-to-administer health literacy assessment tool integrated into population surveys and intervention evaluations
Racism and health and wellbeing among children and youth–An updated systematic review and meta-analysis
Household income supplements in early childhood to reduce inequities in children's development
Effects of racism and discrimination on mental health among young people in Victoria, Australia, during Covid‐19 lockdown
Racism and discrimination are fundamental determinants of health inequities, with young people particularly vulnerable. Since the onset of the global COVID‐19 pandemic in 2020, reports of racism and discrimination rose sharply. This study examined direct discrimination, vicarious racial discrimination, heightened vigilance, worries about experiencing racial discrimination, COVID‐19‐related stressors and their associations with young people's ment…
The potential of intervening on childhood adversity to reduce socioeconomic inequities in body mass index and inflammation among Australian and UK children
BACKGROUND: Lower maternal education is associated with higher body mass index (BMI) and higher chronic inflammation in offspring. Childhood adversity potentially mediates these associations. We examined the extent to which addressing childhood adversity could reduce socioeconomic inequities in these outcomes. METHODS: We analysed data from two early-life longitudinal cohorts: the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC; n=1873) and the U…
Comparison of Health Literacy Assessment Tools among Beijing School-Aged Children
Health literacy is a broad and multidimensional construct, making its measurement and conclusions inconsistent. This study aims to compare the patterning of health literacy using different assessment tools and examine their impact on children's developmental outcomes. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 650 students in Years 7-9 from four secondary schools in Beijing. Health literacy was measured by the eight-item health literacy assessmen…
A Health Equity Implementation Approach to Child Health Literacy Interventions
Health and behavioural inequalities exist in all populations, including children. As a social determinant of health, health literacy is a crucial driver of equitable health outcomes in children. With the increasing calls for more actions on addressing low health literacy and inequalities, health literacy interventions to improve children's healthy behaviours have emerged as a key strategy to reduce health inequities. However, health literacy inte…
Can a Multi-Component Intervention Improve Pediatric Service Delivery in Guangzhou
Background: Accessible, equitable, and efficient pediatric service is critical to achieve optimal child health. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-component intervention on the pediatric health system over two different periods in Guangzhou. Methods: Based on the World Health Organization (WHO) “six building blocks” model and Donabedian's “Structure-Process-Outcomes” framework, an intervention package was developed to incre…
Adolescent Health Literacy in Beijing and Melbourne
While adolescent health literacy has gained momentum, it is under-researched from a cross-cultural perspective. This study aims to compare health literacy among two cultural groups of secondary students in Beijing and Melbourne. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 770 students from five secondary schools in Beijing and Melbourne. A self-administered questionnaire was designed to collect information on health literacy (the eight-item health…
Moving Health Literacy Research and Practice towards a Vision of Equity, Precision and Transparency
Over the past two decades, health literacy research has gained increasing attention in global health initiatives to reduce health disparities. While it is well-documented that health literacy is associated with health outcomes, most findings are generated from cross-sectional data. Along with the increasing importance of health literacy in policy, there is a lack of specificity and transparency about how to improve health literacy in practice. In…
Health service utilisation and unmet healthcare needs of Australian children from immigrant families
Compared with most other Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, information about the patterns of health service use for children from immigrant families in Australia is currently limited, and internationally, data on unmet healthcare needs are scarce. This study aims to examine the distribution of health service utilisation and unmet healthcare needs for immigrant children aged 10-11 years in Australia. We drew …
Potential of ‘stacking’ early childhood interventions to reduce inequities in learning outcomes
BACKGROUND: Early childhood interventions are critical for reducing child health and development inequities. While most research focuses on the efficacy of single interventions, combining multiple evidence-based strategies over the early years of a child's life may yield greater impact. This study examined the association between exposure to a combination of five evidence-based services from 0 to 5 years on children's reading at 8-9 years. METHOD…
