Epistemic cultures, knowledge types, and disciplinary tensions in population health research
Population health research involves multiple disciplines including epidemiology, economics, biostatistics, health promotion, and social sciences. Disciplinary differences are widely acknowledged but rarely analysed, leaving the nature and source of interdisciplinary tension underspecified. Drawing on the concept of epistemic cultures and interviews with 45 international researchers sampled from a bibliometric network of health equity scholars, I …
Towards Establishing Shared Terminology for Person‐Centred Care
INTRODUCTION: Establishing shared terminology between health professionals and consumers is essential for truly embedding interdisciplinary person-centred models of care. When discussing concepts related to person-centred care, terminology differs amongst health professionals from different disciplines and program areas, and between health professionals and consumers. Inconsistent terminology creates confusion, potentially inhibiting person-centr…
The varying perceptions of a statistician’s value, from “critical” to “not needed for 99.9% of applications”
Currently, much medical research is wasted due to inappropriate study design or analysis. Qualified statisticians are essential for ensuring ideal study design and analysis, and the ethical review process is an ideal stage for their input. We estimated the percentage of Australian ethics committees with access to a qualified statistician. Sixty percent of committees reported access to a qualified statistician, either as a full committee member or…
The Right to Rehabilitation for People With Dementia
INTRODUCTION: People with dementia of all ages have a human right to equal access to quality health care. Despite evidence regarding its effectiveness, many people living with dementia are unable to access rehabilitation for promoting function and quality of life. Conducted in Australia, this study was designed to (1) explore barriers to access to dementia rehabilitation and (2) identify solutions that improve access to rehabilitation. METHODS: P…
Symptoms of depression and risk of emergency department visits among people aged 70 years and over
This study is unique in demonstrating how depressive symptoms among healthy older persons are associated with subsequent increased use of emergency healthcare. Improved understanding and monitoring of mental health in primary care is essential to undertake effective healthcare planning including prevention of needing emergency care
The eye of the beholder
Regression coefficients were generally not viewed as complete or authoritative statements about health. This contrasts with teaching materials wherein statistical results are presented as straightforward representations, subject to rule-based interpretations. In practice, it appears that regression coefficients are not understood as mechanically objective. Attempts to influence conduct and presentation of regression models in the population healt…
Healthcare consumer acceptability of routine use of the EQ-5D-5L in clinical care
The EQ-5D-5L is acceptable for use in care but does not capture all aspects of health relevant to clients, and acceptability varies by subgroup
Impact of Covid-19 lockdowns on hospital presentations and admissions in the context of low community transmission
BACKGROUND: Melbourne, Australia, successfully halted exponential transmission of COVID-19 via two strict lockdowns during 2020. The impact of such restrictions on healthcare-seeking behaviour is not comprehensively understood, but is of global importance. We explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on acute, subacute and emergency department (ED) presentations/admissions within a tertiary, metropolitan health service in Melbourne, Australia, …
Do Framed Mental Health Messages on Social Media Influence University Students’ Motivation for Physical Activity
Message framing has been used as a strategy for promoting physical activity (PA) in university students, but the effectiveness of gain-framed (GF), or loss-framed (LF) messages is variable. This study aims to investigate the effects on motivation and PA behaviour of framed messaging on social media in university students. Gain- and loss-framed messages communicated the mental health outcomes of PA. A three-arm feasibility study ( n = 148) collect…
An atlas of health inequalities and health disparities research
Research on health inequalities and health disparities has grown exponentially since the 1960s, but this expansion has not been matched by an associated sense of progress. Criticisms include claims that too much research addresses well-trodden questions and that the field has failed to gain public and policy traction. Qualitative studies have found researchers partly attribute these challenges to fragmentation resulting from disciplinary and meth…
Salami slicing' helps careers but harms science
Three Metaphors to Aid Interdisciplinary Dialogue in Public Health
Within this journal, authors have recently called for or discussed the benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration. However, in practice such collaborations are extremely challenging, and little guidance is available to support researchers’ efforts to communicate with colleagues from other disciplines. This article presents three metaphors from the sociology of scientific knowledge that can inform and support consideration and discussion of disci…
