How Do We Achieve Impactful Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement in Statistical Methodology Research? A Qualitative Research Protocol
BACKGROUND: Patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) is vital for good-quality health research. However, PPIE is more commonly practised in some types of research than others. Statistical methodology research aims to improve the way we design studies and analyse data. It can be particularly challenging to involve members of the public and patients in this type of research because the work can be technical and difficult to explain. Con…
If you build it who will come? Widening access through a place-based Rural Training Stream to address local medical workforce shortages
BACKGROUND: The establishment of end-to-end rural medical education provides an opportunity to embed place-based strategies to address rural workforce disparities. Deakin University established a Rural (medical) Training Stream (RTS) in 2022, prioritising applicants from the school’s rural footprint in Western Victoria. From 2024, the RTS was extended to a rural end-to-end program (RTS E2E) utilising blended learning to enable students to remain …

Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in Secondary Data Analysis
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…
Discrimination, disadvantage and disempowerment during Covid-19
Our research demonstrates how an intrasectional lens can help better understand how different forms of mutually reinforcing inequities exist at all levels within the healthcare workforce and how these impact HCWs from certain backgrounds who face greater disadvantage, discrimination and disempowerment, particularly during times of crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic
Typology of Mental Health Peer Support Work Components
The employment of mental health peer support (PS) is recommended in national and international mental health policy, and widely implemented across many countries. The key components of PS remain to be identified. This study aimed to develop a typology of components involved in one-to-one PS for adults in mental health services. A systematised review was performed to establish a preliminary long list of candidate components, followed by expert con…
The Cost-Effectiveness of the SMART Work & Life Intervention for Reducing Sitting Time
Sedentary behaviours continue to increase and are associated with heightened risks of morbidity and mortality. We assessed the cost-effectiveness of SMART Work & Life (SWAL), an intervention designed to reduce sitting time inside and outside of work, both with (SWAL-desk) and without (SWAL-only) a height-adjustable workstation compared to usual practice (control) for UK office workers. Health outcomes were assessed in quality-adjusted life-years …
Drivers with and without Obesity Respond Differently to a Multi-Component Health Intervention in Heavy Goods Vehicle Drivers
Physical inactivity and obesity are widely prevalent in Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) drivers. We analysed whether obesity classification influenced the effectiveness of a bespoke structured lifestyle intervention ('SHIFT') for HGV drivers. The SHIFT programme was evaluated within a cluster randomised controlled trial, across 25 transport depots in the UK. After baseline assessments, participants within intervention sites received a 6-month multi-com…
Double-counting of populations in evidence synthesis in public health
While common practices currently used can mitigate some of the impact of double-counting of participants in evidence synthesis including real-world and observational studies, there is a clear need for methodological and guideline development to address this increasingly significant issue
Development of an Interactive Lifestyle Programme for Adolescents at Risk of Developing Type 2 Diabetes
Reporting on the intervention development process, which includes stakeholder input, could yield a flexible approach for use in this emerging 'at risk' groups and their families
Imperatives for Integrating Culture of Health Concepts Into Nursing Education
BACKGROUND: In all nursing care, nurses should address the social determinants of health that make it difficult for people to lead healthy lives. The Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action recommends transforming nursing education to prepare nurses to address social determinants through building a culture of health. Our study examined integration of culture of health/population health concepts into nursing education and assessed nursing deans' an…
A Cost and Cost-Benefit Analysis of the Stand More at Work (Smart Work) Intervention
This study conducted a cost and cost-benefit analysis of the Stand More AT (SMArT) Work workplace intervention, designed to reduce sitting time. The study was a cluster two-armed randomised controlled trial involving 37 office clusters (146 desk-based workers) in a National Health Service Trust. The intervention group received a height-adjustable workstation with supporting behaviour change strategies. The control group continued with usual pract…

Interactions Between Stress and Sex in Microbial Responses Within the Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis in a Mouse Model
OBJECTIVE: Animal models are frequently used to examine stress response, but experiments seldom include females. The connection between the microbiota-gut-brain axis and behavioral stress response is investigated here using a mixed-sex mouse cohort. METHODS: CF-1 mice underwent alternating days of restraint and forced swim for 19 days (male n = 8, female n = 8) with matching numbers of control animals at which point the 16S rRNA genes of gut micr…

Pain in School
Children with chronic pain frequently experience impairment in the school setting, but we do not yet understand how unique these struggles are to children with primary pain conditions compared to peers with disease-related pain or those without chronic pain symptoms. The objective of this study is to examine school functioning, defined as school attendance rates, overall quality of life in the school setting, and school nurse visits among adolesc…

Is the number of fast-food outlets in the neighbourhood related to screen-detected type 2 diabetes mellitus and associated risk factors
Objective We investigated whether a higher number of fast-food outlets in an individual’s home neighbourhood is associated with increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and related risk factors, including obesity. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Three UK-based diabetes screening studies (one general population, two high-risk populations) conducted between 2004 and 2011. The primary outcome was screen-detected type 2 diabetes. Second…
American Indian and Alaska Native Substance Abuse
The devastating impact of substance abuse on American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) is reviewed with an emphasis on psychological and physical effects. Co-morbidity of substance abuse, trans-generational trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and depression among AI/ANs is also discussed since each condition may cause, impact, and/or exacerbate the others. The Medicine Wheel, one respected and accepted treatment approach developed by AI/AN…
