WA Governor Chris Dawson invites further youth mental health research
Embrace at The Kids Research Institute Australia has identified the top 10 unexplored infant, child and youth mental health research priorities in consultation with the Western Australian community.
Studies on health insurance coverage often rely on measures self-reported by respondents, but the accuracy of such measures has not been thoroughly validated. This paper is the first to use linked Australian National Health Survey and administrative population tax data to explore the accuracy of self-reported private health insurance (PHI) coverage in survey data.
Schools are increasingly recognized as important settings for mental health promotion, but it is unclear what actions schools should prioritize to promote student mental health and wellbeing. We undertook a policy review of global school-based mental health promotion policy documents from United Nations agencies to understand the frameworks they use and the actions they recommend for schools.
The Kids researchers have been awarded over $9 million in National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) funding towards child health research including rheumatic heart disease, respiratory infections, and autism spectrum disorder.
A new national network will be established to advance the benefits from Genomic Medicine for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in Australia.
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are often perceived to be a less harmful alternative to tobacco cigarettes. Potentially due to this perception, they are used by people with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma, who otherwise would not smoke. Despite this, there are few studies exploring the health effects of e-cigarette use on pre-existing asthma.
This international task force report updates general considerations for bronchial challenge testing and the performance of the methacholine challenge test.
In children, the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV₁) to forced vital capacity (FVC) is reportedly constant or falls linearly with age...
A standardised framework for selecting outcomes for evaluation in trials has been proposed by the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials working group. However, this method does not specify how to ensure that the outcomes that are selected are causally related to the disease and the health intervention being studied. Causal network diagrams may help researchers identify outcomes that are both clinically meaningful and likely to be causally dependent on the intervention, and endpoints that are, in turn, causally dependent on those outcomes.
