https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Index en-au 5 Secondary school implementation of a healthy eating policy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43723 75%). Twenty-eight per cent of menus had no “sugary drinks” (should not be sold). None of the 53 menus assessed met all strategy criteria regarding the availability of foods and beverages. There was no statistically significant difference in meeting; (a) 75% minimum “everyday” items and (b) no “sugary drinks,” by socio-economic region, remoteness, school enrolments or school type. Conclusions: If public health benefits of healthy eating policies are to be realised, secondary schools need to be supported to implement such policies. So what?: Future research assessing the impact of intervention strategies to support policy implementation in secondary schools is recommended.]]> Wed 28 Sep 2022 10:30:06 AEST ]]> Testing the acceptability of stillbirth awareness messages in an SMS program for fathers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50249 Wed 28 Feb 2024 16:16:46 AEDT ]]> Attitudes and practices of health care providers towards improving adherence to smoking cessation medications in Australia: A descriptive study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53766 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:55:21 AEDT ]]> Health risk factors in Australian Stroke Survivors: A latent class analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54134 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:07:59 AEDT ]]> Barriers to implementation of a healthy canteen policy: A survey using the theoretical domains framework https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36218 Wed 27 Apr 2022 14:49:50 AEST ]]> Diet quality and 6-year risk of overweight and obesity among mid-age Australian women who were initially in the healthy weight range https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29593 Wed 24 Nov 2021 15:52:55 AEDT ]]> Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients’ cancer care pathways in Queensland: insights from health professionals https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48553 Wed 22 Mar 2023 09:14:56 AEDT ]]> Impact of increasing social media use on sitting time and body mass index https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34046 Wed 19 Jan 2022 15:15:09 AEDT ]]> Online canteens: awareness, use, barriers to use, and the acceptability of potential online strategies to improve public health nutrition in primary schools https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24272 Wed 17 Nov 2021 16:32:27 AEDT ]]> Prevalence of current school-level nutrition policies and practices of secondary schools in NSW, Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44372 90% of participating schools). The implementation of practices regarding the restriction of unhealthy drinks in school canteens, healthy school fundraisers and staff training related to healthy eating was reported in under 25% of participating schools. There were no significant differences in implementation by school sector, socio-economic status and geographic location. The main barrier to inclusion of nutrition policies and practices in the school plan was having other priorities and commitments (28.5%), and the main facilitator was support from stakeholders, the staff, students and their parents (37.2%). Conclusions: There is opportunity to improve the implementation of nutrition policies and practices in NSW secondary schools. So What?: Strategies are needed for targeting barriers. These include: gaining support from school staff, students and parents, provision of resources and funding and staff training.]]> Wed 12 Oct 2022 10:45:26 AEDT ]]> Alcohol sponsorship of community football clubs: the current situation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22302 Wed 11 Apr 2018 18:13:04 AEST ]]> The vocational education setting for health promotion: a survey of students' health risk behaviours and preferences for help https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13927 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:01:42 AEST ]]> Never too late: older people's perceptions of physical activity https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2882 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:52:00 AEST ]]> Support for smoke-free vocational education settings: an exploratory survey of staff behaviours, experiences and attitudes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13481 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:37:09 AEST ]]> Validity of four measures in assessing school canteen menu compliance with state-based healthy canteen policy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29607 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:19:15 AEST ]]> Quit smoking behaviours and intentions and hard-core smoking in New South Wales https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:879 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:07:48 AEST ]]> Field testing of father-inclusive guidelines for web-based information and support aimed at families with perinatal depression https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13620 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:53:43 AEST ]]> Improving the translation of health promotion interventions using effectiveness-implementation hybrid designs in program evaluations https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29852 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:07:33 AEST ]]> Workplace-related smoking in New South Wales: extent of bans, public attitudes and relationships with relapse https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14128 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:06:16 AEST ]]> Healthy food and beverages in senior community football club canteens in New South Wales, Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22090 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:38:38 AEST ]]> Australian university smoke-free policy implementation: a staff and student survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27018 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:30:44 AEST ]]> Smoking in movies in Australia: who feels over-exposed and what level of regulation will the community accept? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4481 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:23:18 AEST ]]> Enriching health research through consumer involvement: learning through atypical exemplars https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13004 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:18:23 AEST ]]> A randomised controlled trial of an active telephone-based recruitment strategy to increase childcare-service staff attendance at a physical activity and nutrition training workshop https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14296 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:04:29 AEST ]]> The impact of alcohol management practices on sports club membership and revenue https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24447 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:04:27 AEST ]]> Pilot of a preoperative smoking cessation intervention incorporating post-discharge support from a Quitline https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4477 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:13:32 AEST ]]> Alcohol-related harm: perceptions of ambulance officers and health promotion actions they do and would do https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11430 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:13:28 AEST ]]> Documenting the development of social capital in a community Safety Promotion Network: it's not what you know but who you know https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4482 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:15:56 AEST ]]> Barriers to the implementation of clinical guidelines for maternal alcohol consumption in antenatal services: a survey using the theoretical domains framework https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37483 Wed 08 May 2024 11:18:17 AEST ]]> Parents’ concerns about Leavers celebrations: A cross-sectional study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49871 Wed 07 Jun 2023 16:01:42 AEST ]]> Is open defaecation in outdoor recreation and camping areas a public health issue in Australia?

Results: A total of 17 documents across 12 media agencies were identified. Ten of the 12 agencies provided specific advice about the reporting of suicide, with all agencies that issue codes of practice or editorial policies including between two and 10 recommendations aligned with the Mindframe guidelines. Conclusions: While the results of this study are positive, significant variation between media agencies shows that there are opportunities to enhance adoption and implementation of evidence-informed guidance for media professionals in Australia. So what?: With over 3000 people dying by suicide and over 60 000 people attempting suicide each year in Australia, the prevention of suicide remains a key public health priority requiring a multi-sector and health-in-all-policies approach. This study reveals that there is a strong platform for ongoing collaboration with the Australian media to ensure safe and sensitive coverage of suicide.]]> Mon 10 Oct 2022 09:31:40 AEDT ]]> Parent-reported compared with researcher-measured child height and weight: impact on body mass index classification in Australian pre-school aged children https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53543 0.8 = “excellent”; 0.61-0.8 = “good”; 0.41-0.60 = “moderate”; 0.21 and 0.4 = “fair [weak]”; <0.2 = “poor”). Results: Overall, 89 children were included (mean age: 4.7 years; 59.5% female). The mean difference between parent-reported and researcher-measured data were small (BMI z-score: mean difference −0.01 [95% CI: −0.45 to 0.44]). There was “fair/weak” agreement between parent-categorised child BMI compared with researcher-measured data (Cohen's Kappa 0.24 [95% CI: 0.06 to 0.42]). Agreement was poor (Cohen's kappa <0.2) for female children, when reported by fathers or by parents with a BMI > 25 kg/m2. Conclusion: There was “fair/weak” agreement between parent-reported and measured estimates of child weight status. So What?: Parent's report of weight and height may be a weak indicator of adiposity at the level of individuals however it may be useful for aggregate estimates.]]> Mon 04 Dec 2023 15:58:46 AEDT ]]> Equipping fathers to support distressed mothers: What do mothers want fathers to know and do? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53541 Mon 04 Dec 2023 15:52:08 AEDT ]]> Nutrition education in the Australian New South Wales primary school curriculum: an exploration of time allocation, translation and attitudes in a sample of teachers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34854 Mon 03 Feb 2020 10:56:07 AEDT ]]> How big is a food portion: a pilot study in Australian families https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27363 Fri 25 Mar 2022 15:38:33 AEDT ]]> Review of policies and guidelines concerning adults' alcohol consumption and promotion in Australian government schools https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24327 Fri 18 Nov 2016 16:53:47 AEDT ]]> Implementation of policies and practices to increase physical activity among children attending centre‐based childcare: a cross‐sectional study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36819 Fri 11 Aug 2023 16:49:23 AEST ]]> Child-parent agreement on alcohol-related parenting: Opportunities for prevention of alcohol-related harm https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44110 Fri 07 Oct 2022 13:58:34 AEDT ]]> Two-year follow-up of a randomised controlled trial to assess the sustainability of a school intervention to improve the implementation of a school-based nutrition policy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37257 50% "green" items at 24-month follow-up (RR = 1.29; 95% CI: 0.98-1.70; P = 0.10).

Among intervention schools that were fully adherent to the policy following implementation support (12-month post baseline), all were also adherent at the 24-month follow-up. Conclusion: The intervention was effective in achieving long-term school adherence to a state-wide canteen policy at 24-month follow-up.
