https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Index ${session.getAttribute("locale")} 5 Implementing a school-based physical activity program: process evaluation and impact on teachers' confidence, perceived barriers and self-perceptions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37459 Resistance Training for Teens (RT for Teens) was evaluated using a cluster randomised controlled trial in 16 secondary schools. Teachers (N = 44; 48% female/52% male; mean ± SD years teaching experience = 10.6 ± 8.0) from 16 secondary schools were assessed at baseline. Intervention group teachers (i.e. from eight schools) delivered a structured school-based physical activity program over 10-weeks. Teacher outcomes included confidence to teach health-related fitness (HRF) activities, perceived barriers to teaching HRF activities, and perceived fitness. Detailed process evaluation data were also collected. Assessments were conducted at baseline and 6-months (post-program), and outcomes were assessed using repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: There was a positive group-by-time effect for the confidence composite score (p = .010, partial eta squared = 0.29), but no effects for the two (contextual, interpersonal) barrier composite scores. Also, there was a significant effect for perceived ‘general fitness’ (p = 0.044, partial eta squared = 0.13), but not for specific fitness subdomains. Teachers were highly satisfied with both the training and the program, believing it was beneficial for students. Resource usage and adherence to the SAAFE (Supportive, Active, Autonomous, Fair, Enjoyable) delivery principles was high. Conclusion: RT for Teens improved teachers’ confidence and perceived fitness. These findings highlight the potential for high-quality teacher training and program delivery to positively influence teacher-level outcomes. This may provide support for the use of teacher professional development to improve HRF-related pedagogy.]]> Wed 31 Aug 2022 08:19:25 AEST ]]> RE-AIM evaluation of a teacher-delivered programme to improve the self-regulation of children attending Australian Aboriginal community primary schools https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46787 Wed 30 Nov 2022 13:21:33 AEDT ]]> Psychological treatment for methamphetamine use and associated psychiatric symptom outcomes: A systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46789 Wed 30 Nov 2022 13:21:29 AEDT ]]> Translation of two healthy eating and active living support programs for parents of 2–6-year-old children: Outcomes of the ‘time for healthy habits’ parallel partially randomised preference trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49641 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:52:45 AEDT ]]> Effectiveness of an online education intervention to enhance student perceptions of Respectful Maternity Care: A quasi-experimental study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52038 Wed 27 Sep 2023 10:01:54 AEST ]]> Can changing the position of online menu items increase selection of fruit and vegetable snacks?

We conducted a two-group, pre/posttest study at two Australian schools across four kindergarten classes (n = 77 students). One school received the intervention, and the other continued with standard teaching. Participants (mean age = 5 years 8.45 months, standard deviation = 4.18 months) at both schools were assessed at baseline, immediately after the eight-week intervention period, and at 12 weeks following the end of the intervention (follow-up). We used linear mixed models to determine the statistical significance of effects over three time intervals. We identified statistically significant Group × Time effects for letter name knowledge and word reading, whereas changes in letter sound knowledge and nonsense word–reading fluency approached statistical significance. These results indicate that a handwriting intervention, incorporating repeated practice in recalling and reproducing letter forms, had a statistically significant impact on early reading skills.]]> Wed 20 Jul 2022 09:39:30 AEST ]]> A role for primary care pharmacists in the management of inflammatory bowel disease? lessons from chronic disease: a systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38722 Wed 19 Jan 2022 09:36:08 AEDT ]]> Interventions in outside-school hours childcare settings for promoting physical activity amongst schoolchildren aged 4 to 12 years https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48899 Wed 19 Apr 2023 16:39:48 AEST ]]> A blended face-to-face and smartphone intervention to improve suicide prevention literacy and help-seeking intentions among construction workers: a randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50371 Wed 17 Apr 2024 15:52:35 AEST ]]> A Benefit-Cost Analysis of BackTrack, a Multi-Component, Community-Based Intervention for High-Risk Young People in a Rural Australian Setting https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50681 Wed 17 Apr 2024 14:29:47 AEST ]]> Understanding the sustainment of population health programmes from a whole-of-system approach https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51024 Wed 16 Aug 2023 10:02:47 AEST ]]> Embodied learning in the classroom: effects on primary school children's attention and foreign language vocabulary learning https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35370 Wed 15 Mar 2023 10:38:32 AEDT ]]> Teacher facilitated high-intensity interval training intervention for older adolescents: evaluation of the Burn 2 Learn program https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45952 Wed 13 Mar 2024 14:13:52 AEDT ]]> A cross sectional survey of internet use among a highly socially disadvantaged population of tobacco smokers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36573 $400 per week). Device use differed for age and income. Conclusions: Internet-based interventions appear to reach the majority of socially disadvantaged populations. It is expected that this reach will continue to grow, making internet-based interventions a potential platform for providing care to low socioeconomic individuals who smoke, however inequalities may be exacerbated for those individual without internet access. Implications: Internet use among socially disadvantaged tobacco users is moderate (58%). An internet-based smoking cessation intervention for socially disadvantaged tobacco users may be an effective intervention however, older, heavier tobacco users may not benefit as easily due to limited internet access and therefore acknowledging these limitations when developing an intervention can help to acknowledge limitation of intervention reach.]]> Wed 13 Mar 2024 09:39:20 AEDT ]]> Guidelines for designing age-appropriate cooking interventions for children: The development of evidence-based cooking skill recommendations for children, using a multidisciplinary approach https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44369 Wed 12 Oct 2022 10:17:24 AEDT ]]> Exercise as therapy for neurodevelopmental and cognitive dysfunction in people with a Fontan circulation: A narrative review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52409 Wed 11 Oct 2023 11:58:45 AEDT ]]> A scalable school-based intervention to increase early adolescents' motor competence and health-related fitness https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52397 Wed 10 Jan 2024 14:46:46 AEDT ]]> Health behavior interventions for university students measuring mental health outcomes: A scoping review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50845 Wed 09 Aug 2023 09:17:57 AEST ]]> The effectiveness of interventions to improve pain assessment and management in people living with dementia: a systematic review and meta-analyses https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42926 Wed 07 Sep 2022 13:52:24 AEST ]]> Aboriginal Wingadhan Birrang (woman's journey) of smoking cessation during pregnancy as they participate in the ICAN QUIT in pregnancy pilot step-wedge trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36864 Wed 07 Apr 2021 20:17:21 AEST ]]> Intervention for an Australian carer of a person with dementia: a single case study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46075 Wed 06 Mar 2024 15:05:18 AEDT ]]> 'Possibly the most difficult thing you’ll do’: a nurse supported pathway to enable prescription opioid reduction and entry to treatment for chronic non cancer pain https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51232 Wed 06 Mar 2024 14:55:44 AEDT ]]> The microbiota of the abdominal wall surgical site in colorectal surgery https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51696 Wed 06 Mar 2024 14:45:33 AEDT ]]> "He who pays the piper calls the tune": Researcher experiences of funder suppression of health behaviour intervention trial findings https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43966 Wed 05 Oct 2022 14:15:21 AEDT ]]> The effects of anaerobic swim ergometer training on sprint performance in adolescent swimmers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43959 Wed 05 Oct 2022 14:01:30 AEDT ]]> A qualitative exploration of speech–language pathologists’ approaches in treating spoken discourse post-traumatic brain injury https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55520 Wed 05 Jun 2024 08:41:07 AEST ]]> Facilitators and barriers to providing culinary nutrition, culinary medicine and behaviour change support: An online cross-sectional survey of Australian health and education professionals https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47388 Wed 05 Jul 2023 16:04:01 AEST ]]> Exploring the Reported Strengths and Limitations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Research: A Narrative Review of Intervention Studies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50161 Wed 05 Jul 2023 15:56:14 AEST ]]> A scoping review of outpatient interventions to support the reduction of prescription opioid medication for chronic non cancer pain https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47976 Wed 05 Jul 2023 15:53:23 AEST ]]> Effect of a Scalable School-Based Intervention on Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Children: A Cluster Randomized Clinical Trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49038 Wed 03 May 2023 13:48:10 AEST ]]> Practitioner Review: Effective management of functional difficulties associated with sensory symptoms in children and adolescents https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46694 Tue 29 Nov 2022 09:42:58 AEDT ]]> How to optimise public health interventions: a scoping review of guidance from optimisation process frameworks https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39872 a deliberate, iterative and data-driven process to improve a health intervention and/or its implementation to meet stakeholder-defined public health impacts within resource constraints. This study aimed to identify frameworks used to optimise the impact of health interventions and/or their implementation, and characterise the key concepts, steps or processes of identified frameworks. Methods: A scoping review of MEDLINE, CINAL, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source databases was undertaken. Two reviewers independently coded the key concepts, steps or processes involved in each frameworks, and identified if it was a framework aimed to optimise interventions or their implementation. Two review authors then identified the common steps across included frameworks. Results: Twenty optimisation frameworks were identified. Eight frameworks were for optimising interventions, 11 for optimising implementation and one covered both intervention and implementation optimisation. The mean number of steps within the frameworks was six (range 3–9). Almost half (n = 8) could be classified as both linear and cyclic frameworks, indicating that some steps may occur multiple times in a single framework. Two meta- frameworks are proposed, one for intervention optimisation and one for implementation strategy optimisation. Steps for intervention optimisation are: Problem identification; Preparation; Theoretical/Literature base; Pilot/ Feasibility testing; Optimisation; Evaluation; and Long-term implementation. Steps for implementation strategy optimisation are: Problem identification; Collaborate; Plan/design; Pilot; Do/change; Study/evaluate/check; Act; Sustain/endure; and Disseminate/extend. Conclusions: This review provides a useful summary of the common steps followed to optimise a public health intervention or its implementation according to established frameworks. Further opportunities to study and/or validate such frameworks and their impact on improving outcomes exist.]]> Tue 28 Jun 2022 14:33:06 AEST ]]> Physical therapy interventions used to treat individuals with biceps tendinopathy: a scoping review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54545 Tue 27 Feb 2024 20:40:18 AEDT ]]> A Systematic Literature Review and Narrative Synthesis of Effective Interventions for Family and Caregivers of People Who Use Methamphetamine https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50436 Tue 25 Jul 2023 19:08:10 AEST ]]> Optimisation: Defining and exploring a concept to enhance the impact of public health initiatives https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36178 Tue 25 Feb 2020 09:45:32 AEDT ]]> Can a teacher-led RCT improve adolescent girls' physical self-perception and perceived motor competence? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42466 Tue 23 Aug 2022 13:42:17 AEST ]]> Impact of the ‘Healthy Youngsters, Healthy Dads’ program on physical activity and other health behaviours: a randomised controlled trial involving fathers and their preschool-aged children https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51139 Tue 22 Aug 2023 15:58:19 AEST ]]> Modifiability of surgical timing in postinjury multiple organ failure patients https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55715 3), we identified patients who had surgery that preceded MOF, determined whether the timing of these operation(s) were modifiable(M) or non-modifiable (non-M), and evaluated the change in physiological parameters as a result of surgery. Results: Of 716 polytrauma patients at-risk of MOF, 205/716 (29%) developed MOF, and 161/205 (79%) had surgery during their ICU admission. Of the surgical MOF patients, 147/161 (91%) had one or more operation(s) that preceded MOF, and 65/161 (40%) of them had operation(s) with modifiable timings. There were no differences in age (mean (SD) 52 (19) vs 53 (21)years), injury severity score (median (IQR) 34 (26–41)vs34 (25–44)), admission physiological and resuscitation parameters, between M and non-M-patients. M patients had longer ICU LOS (median (IQR) 18 (12–28)versus 11 (8–16)days, p < 0.0001) than non-M-patients, without difference in mortality (14%vs16%, p = 0.7347), or hospital LOS (median (IQR) 32 (18–52)vs27 (17–47)days, p = 0.3418). M-patients had less fluids and transfusions intraoperatively. Surgery did not compromise patient physiology. Conclusion: Operations preceding MOF are common in polytrauma and seem to be safe in maintaining physiology. The margin for improvement from optimizing surgical timing is modest, contrary to historical assumptions.]]> Tue 18 Jun 2024 12:53:52 AEST ]]> Efficacy of an m-Health physical activity and sleep intervention to improve sleep quality in middle-aged adults: the Refresh Study randomized controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37700 Tue 16 Mar 2021 17:51:59 AEDT ]]> Increasing the capacity of policy agencies to use research findings: a stepped-wedge trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41966 Tue 16 Aug 2022 14:45:40 AEST ]]> Effectiveness of the Hunter Way Back Support Service: An historical controlled trial of a brief non-clinical after-care program for hospital-treated deliberate self-poisoning https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48001 Tue 14 Feb 2023 16:42:54 AEDT ]]> Effectiveness of a multistrategy behavioral intervention to increase the nutritional quality of primary school students'web-based canteen lunch orders (click & crunch): cluster randomized controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47242 Tue 10 Jan 2023 15:06:01 AEDT ]]> Implementation of a multifaceted nurse-led intervention to reduce indwelling urinary catheter use in four Australian hospitals: A cluster controlled study. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45913 Tue 08 Nov 2022 09:32:11 AEDT ]]> An Overview of research opportunities to increase the impact of nutrition intervention research in early childhood and education care settings according to the RE-AIM Framework https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40263 Tue 02 Aug 2022 10:38:14 AEST ]]> Effectiveness of interventions to improve rates of intravenous thrombolysis using behaviour change wheel functions: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41188 75%) was observed for all the pooled analyses.

Flourishing and stigma consciousness were assessed on six occasions during the 24-week intervention and represented secondary trial outcomes. Multilevel growth models examined the effects of the interventions on flourishing and stigma consciousness over time. Results: Participants in the SASG and SAMG conditions demonstrated, on average, higher levels of flourishing, relative to the MAMG condition, over the course of the 24 weeks (p < .05). Additionally, participants demonstrated lower levels of age- and gender-related stigma consciousness in both the SASG and SAMG conditions relative to the MAMG condition (p < .05). No time by group interaction effects were observed for either flourishing or stigma consciousness. Conclusions: The results provide some support for the utility of group exercise programs, informed by self-categorisation theory, to enhance psychological flourishing and reduce stigma consciousness among older adults.]]> Mon 31 Oct 2022 17:47:03 AEDT ]]> Impact of individualised music listening intervention on persons with dementia: A systematic review of randomised controlled trials https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37185 Mon 31 Aug 2020 10:58:00 AEST ]]> Effect of increasing the delivery of smoking cessation care in alcohol and other drug treatment centres: a cluster-randomized controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37590 Mon 29 Mar 2021 10:17:19 AEDT ]]> Effects of a family-based lifestyle intervention on co-physical activity and other health-related outcomes of fathers and their children: the ‘Run Daddy Run’ intervention https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53443 0.05). Conclusion:: The Run Daddy Run intervention was able to improve co-PA, MPA of fathers and LPA of children, and decreasing their SB. Inverse intervention effects were however found for MPA and VPA of children. These results are unique given their magnitude and clinical relevance. Targeting fathers together with their children might be a novel and potential intervention strategy to improve overall physical activity levels, however, further efforts should however be made to target children’s MPA and VPA. Last, replicating these findings in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) is recommended for future research. Trial registration number:: This study is registered as a clinical trial (clinicaltrials.gov, ID number: NCT04590755, date: 19/10/2020).]]> Mon 27 Nov 2023 11:53:47 AEDT ]]> Indigenous Knowledge-Sharing Interventions in Australia and the Use of Information and Communication Technology: A Scoping Review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53948 Mon 22 Jan 2024 16:57:37 AEDT ]]> The efficacy of a multi-strategy choice architecture intervention on improving the nutritional quality of high school students’ lunch purchases from online canteens (Click & Crunch High Schools): a cluster randomized controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51102 Mon 21 Aug 2023 14:53:16 AEST ]]> The feasibility and acceptability of implementing and evaluating a caregiver group intervention to address child mental health: A pilot study in Iraq https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50938 Mon 14 Aug 2023 12:58:09 AEST ]]> Anti-stigma interventions in low-income and middle-income countries: a systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55292 Mon 13 May 2024 16:17:58 AEST ]]> Feasibility and preliminary results of a call centre delivered continuing care intervention following residential alcohol and other drug treatment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51587 Mon 11 Sep 2023 15:18:01 AEST ]]> Early-stage studies to larger-scale trials: investigators’ perspectives on scaling-up childhood obesity interventions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48249 Mon 08 May 2023 09:39:12 AEST ]]> Does matching a personally tailored physical activity intervention to participants’ learning style improve intervention effectiveness and engagement? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54108 Mon 05 Feb 2024 09:56:03 AEDT ]]> Impact of risk of generalizability biases in adult obesity interventions: A meta-epidemiological review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46806 Mon 05 Dec 2022 08:44:41 AEDT ]]> Understanding the role of educational interventions on medication adherence in hypertension: A systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41222 d = 0.18 (95% CI 0.01–0.34, p < 0.04). No statistically significant difference was found between bimodal (verbal and printed) and multimodal (verbal, printed and electronic) educational interventions. Frequent contacts during patient education showed better outcomes of medication adherence. Conclusions: Verbal educational interventions can improve health literacy and consequent adherence to medication among individuals with hypertension. Frequent verbal educational interventions can enhance patient engagement, participation as well as promote medication literacy and adherence. Healthcare professionals should adopt innovative ways of ensuring regular follow-ups and making educational sessions more interactive and useful to patients.]]> Fri 29 Jul 2022 09:50:34 AEST ]]> Dietary outcomes of the 'healthy youngsters, healthy dads' randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38991 Healthy Youngsters, Healthy Dads, on change in dietary intake in fathers and their preschool-aged children post-intervention (10 weeks) and at 9 months follow-up compared to a waitlist control group and (ii) investigate associations in father-child dietary intakes. Methods: Linear mixed models estimated group-by-time effects for all dietary outcomes, measured by food frequency questionnaires. Cohen's d determined effect sizes, while correlation tests determined associations in father-child dietary intakes. Results: For children, medium group-by-time effects sizes were identified at 10 weeks for sodium intake (d = 0.38) and percentage energy from core foods (d = 0.43), energy-dense, nutrient-poor (EDNP) foods (d = 0.43) and prepacked snacks (d = 0.45). These findings were sustained at 9 months follow-up. For fathers, medium to large, group-by-time effect sizes were identified at 10 weeks for energy intake (d = 0.55), sodium intake (d = 0.64) and percentage energy from core foods (d = 0.49), EDNP foods (d = 0.49), and confectionary (d = 0.36). For all of these dietary variables, except sodium, effects were sustained at 9 months. Moderate to strong associations existed in father-child dietary intakes for some of the dietary variables. Conclusions: Although further research is required, this study provides preliminary support for targeting fathers as agents of change to improve dietary intakes in their preschool-aged children.]]> Fri 25 Mar 2022 15:52:33 AEDT ]]> Scaling-Up Adolescent High-Intensity Interval Training Programs for Population Health https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48093 Fri 24 Feb 2023 15:24:02 AEDT ]]> A Scoping Review: Identifying Targeted Intervention Strategies for Workers with Occupational Hearing Loss https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54404 Fri 23 Feb 2024 08:24:49 AEDT ]]> Current Intervention Treatments for Food Addiction: A Systematic Review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40751 Fri 22 Jul 2022 14:30:34 AEST ]]> Piloting an antenatal tobacco smoking intervention that incorporates financial incentives in women with other substance use problems during pregnancy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48467 Fri 17 Mar 2023 13:08:29 AEDT ]]> Feasibility of a school-based physical activity intervention for adolescents with disability https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39694 Fri 17 Jun 2022 16:14:05 AEST ]]> An emotion regulation and impulse control (ERIC) intervention for vulnerable young people: a multi-sectoral pilot study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47231 Fri 16 Dec 2022 12:08:53 AEDT ]]> Telephone-based management for patients with osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35452 Fri 16 Aug 2019 15:08:31 AEST ]]> Motivational Interviewing: Reconciling Recovery-Focused Care and Mental Health Nursing Practice https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41793 Fri 12 Aug 2022 12:17:23 AEST ]]> Identification and evaluation of risk of generalizability biases in pilot versus efficacy/effectiveness trials: A systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41558 Fri 05 Aug 2022 14:31:00 AEST ]]> Physical activity behaviours in adolescence: current evidence and opportunities for intervention https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41508 Fri 05 Aug 2022 11:14:33 AEST ]]> Using a Mixed-Reality Micro-teaching Program to Support “at Risk” Pre-service Teachers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52968 Fri 03 Nov 2023 15:23:43 AEDT ]]> Effects of an activity tracker and app intervention to increase physical activity in whole families-the step it up family feasibility study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38646 Fri 03 Dec 2021 14:09:08 AEDT ]]> Effectiveness of family-based weight management interventions for children with overweight and obesity: an umbrella review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35555 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:34:27 AEDT ]]> Long-term Effectiveness of a Multistrategy Behavioral Intervention to Increase the Nutritional Quality of Primary School Students’ Online Lunch Orders: 18-Month Follow-up of the Click & Crunch Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49790 Fri 02 Jun 2023 17:14:22 AEST ]]> Interventions that Address Institutional Child Maltreatment: An Evidence and Gap Map https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53507 Fri 01 Dec 2023 10:45:41 AEDT ]]>
