Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$318,768.00
Summary
This Fellowship aims to reduce the burden associated with mental disorders in vulnerable populations. This body of work will provide a comprehensive assessment of the predictors, prevention and treatment of mental disorders in these populations, so as to inform resource allocation and service delivery.

Stroke In Australia: Understanding Variation In Clinical Care And Outcomes
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$314,644.00
Summary
Stroke is the major cause of death and disability. My ECF research project is designed to identify (1) factors that influence hospital readmissions (2) gaps in hospital care for specific groups who experience stroke using the largest national dataset (40+ hospitals, 17,000+ patients). These data will provide evidence for me to develop and test novel future interventions to reduce inequalities in health care access in order to reduce deaths and disability through improvements in stroke care.

Funding Amount
$338,945.00
Summary
My project will examine the healthiness of the Australian food supply with the goal of identifying where reformulation activities will have the greatest impact on the health of Australians. The results will be used to inform policies designed to enhance the healthiness of the food supply, and will make a significant contribution to the understanding of dietary intake and the food supply in Australia, and will help reduce the ever-increasing burden of nutrition-related chronic disease.
Local Public Health Ethics: New Theoretical And Applied Tools For Community-based Health Research Governance And Ethics.
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$236,326.00
Summary
Bioethics has not delivered the local ethical resources needed for public health research in community settings. This program will develop and test a new framework and practical tools for research governance and responses to ethical challenges in community-based public health research. It will deliver a new public health ethics system, policy and practice resources to suit the multi-disciplinarity of the modern public health research field.
Improving The Healthiness Of The Foods In Australian Supermarkets
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$318,768.00
Summary
This project proposes to better understand the role of supermarkets on influencing the healthiness of the food supply. Three studies are planned which evaluate the evidence for the effect of supermarket standards on the food supply, determine whether providing nutritional data to a supermarket can change the healthiness of their food products, and identify factors that influence the development and use of supermarket standards to improve their foods.
Healthy Lifestyle Profiles: An Integrated Approach To Improving Population Health In Australia
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$316,449.00
Summary
The proposed study will examine the clustering of health-related behaviours (e.g. smoking, alcohol, diet, physical activity) among Australians. Through this integrated and sequenced program of research I will develop methodologies for quantifying profiles of health behaviours; examine distributions and temporal trends of behavioural profiles by socio-demographic characteristics, geographic locations, and environmental attributes; and examine the long-term health outcomes of lifestyle profiles.
