Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Implementation Research Using The Experiences And Perspectives Of Women And Health Professionals To Internationally Translate Guidelines And Evidence Into Practice
Funder

Funding Amount
$695,543.00
Summary
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects up to 1 in 5 women. It is associated with a high risk of obesity, infertility, diabetes, and heart disease. We are updating guidelines for PCOS, yet it is not known how to help women and health professionals use these guidelines. This project will involve women with PCOS and health professionals working together to design high quality resources and link these into clinical care to improve the management of PCOS. This will lead to improved health outcomes.
This proposal supports a successful, productive mid career researcher to generate new knowledge in priority areas of women' health. Clinical, public health, health services and implementation research focuses on prevention and treatment of lifestyles/obesity related conditions across the lifespan. Activities include mentoring young researchers/ clinicians, leadership and collaboration, cross sector engagement and translation of research into practice delivering improved health outcomes.

Funding Amount
$1,445,861.00
Summary
There is increasing recognition of society’s responsibility to provide effective and sustainable health care to the entire population and not just selected parts. This practical study will test the impact of a nurse-led, multidisciplinary prevention program to reduce the risk of future cardiovascular events in middle-aged individuals at a high risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) living in regional Australia.
Nutritional Determinants Of Cardiometabolic Risk And Mental Health: From Infancy To Adulthood

Funding Amount
$498,002.00
Summary
Recent research has suggested possible links between nutritional intake, cardiometabolic and psychological health. We are investigating the relationships between nutrition and the development of obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and mental health functioning from infancy to 20 years in the existing longitudinal Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study. This study will provide evidence for population interventions to improve child and adolescent physical and mental health ....Recent research has suggested possible links between nutritional intake, cardiometabolic and psychological health.

Funding Amount
$314,644.00
Summary
Pregnancy provides an opportunity to improve short and long-term health of both women and babies. Provision of high-quality, appropriate pregnancy care is a vital step in reducing health disparities in Australia. I will conduct public health research that improves pregnancy care for three populations of women at risk of poor health before and during pregnancy: women of refugee background, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Linking Place To Metabolic Syndrome Via Behavioural And Psychological Antecedents: Levers For Public Health Intervention
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$295,135.00
Summary
This collaboration involves the SA Health Department and community partners in analyses of local data from a 10-year biomedical cohort to (i) identify features of residential areas that are related to the metabolic syndrome and (ii) assess the mechanism by which area features influence metabolic syndrome through effects on behavioural and psychosocial mediators. The knowledge generated will inform policy intervention via urban planning and public health actions to support healthful lifestyles.
Assessment Of The Effects Of Pathogenic Germline TP53 Mutations; International Sarcoma Kindred Study Participants’ Views Of Feedback Of Genetic Research Results And The Acceptability Of Taking Part In A Pilot Screening Programme
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$55,242.00
Summary
The International Sarcoma Kindred Study (ISKS) aims to identify individuals who harbour germline TP53 mutations. TP53 mutations are characterised by the development of multiple cancers including sarcoma. This project will assess ISKS participants’ views of the feedback of genetic research information and will develop sensitive feedback practices. The acceptability and psychological impact of taking part in a pilot screening protocol designed for cancer-prone populations will also be assessed.
