Funding Amount
$57,342.00
Summary
Refugee and migrant children experience significantly poorer oral health than the non-migrant population. Factors that impact on poor oral health include perceptions of tap water safety, dietary changes, access to prevention and treatment health services, and language barriers. This study will explore reasons for these factors and potential solutions. Communities involved are those which have arrived the most recently and those with large numbers of young children.
Reconceptualising Health Promotion: The Role Of Ethics, Values And Evidence In Obesity Interventions
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$90,566.00
Summary
Overweight and obesity are public health priorities. Population-level programs, campaigns and regulations are required to prevent and reduce obesity. How should these interventions proceed? What is effective? What is ethical? How can we avoid doing harm? At present, we do not know. By studying current interventions, and working with experts and practitioners in health promotion and ethics, this project will develop a new framework to guide overweight and obesity intervention in the future.

National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$66,376.00
Summary
Assessment of health care utilisation and associated costs are important for planning and allocation of health care resources. In Australia very little is known about the determinants and costs of infant hospitalisation in the first year of life. Through the use of linked population health datasets, this project will examine the patterns and trends of hospital readmissions and inter-hospital transfers, and calculate hospital costs for in-patient admissions during the first year of life.
