Attributions, parental anger and risk of maltreatment
No full textThe present study examined the differences in the attributions clinically angry, at-risk of child maltreatment parents (CA), and non-angry, not at-risk of child maltreatment parents (NA) make for parent-child interactions. Participants were 82 families with a child aged 2-7 years. There were significant differences between the CA and NA mothers' anger- intensifying attributional style for both negative and ambiguous negative child behaviour and anger-justifying attributions for negative parenting behaviour. The CA mothers reported an elevated level of anger-intensifying attributional style where the CA group tended to attribute negative and ambiguous negative child behaviour to internal and stable causes in the child and rated the behaviour as more intentional and blameworthy. CA mothers were also more likely to attribute blame to their child for their own negative parenting behaviour and perceive the reason for their behaviour was unlikely to change and that their behaviour was part of their personality (e.g. "That's the way I am. I yell and hit my children"). The study suggests that targeting parents' anger-intensifying and anger-justifying attributions may enhance outcomes in parenting interventions and reduce the risk of child maltreatment
Tribal Capacity Building As a Complex Adaptive System
No full textFor all of our advances in health care and achievements in public health that have contributed to an increased life expectancy, there still remain persistent problems in one\u27s community that are public health in origin. These persistent public health problems are well-studied from an academic standpoint, yet they evade a solution that is practical, economical, and socially just. These are complex, community-based, public health problems that disproportionally impact minority and immigrant populations. This book explores this topic in greater detail. Specifically, what have we, as public health academicians and practitioners learned when partnering with minority and immigrant community members to help them address persistent public health issues that affect them and their families on a daily basis? These are lessons that need to be shared so disadvantaged populations can build their capacity to address and solve persistent public health problems in their communities

Flooding and infectious disease in rural children
No full textFlooding has the potential to trigger disease outbreaks from the sudden and severe disruption to both natural and built environments. As a result of global climate change, extreme weather events such as flooding are predicted to occur with increasing frequency and intensity. Populations at particularly high risk include those who live in areas prone to natural disasters, vulnerable groups such as children, and communities with poor resources to cope with additional stresses. In this paper we examine the mechanisms by which flooding can increase the risk of a wide range of infectious diseases, with particular focus on the high vulnerability of children who live in rural areas. The potential long-term significance of these infections, the importance of ongoing disease surveillance post-disaster, and the current gaps in knowledge regarding the long-term health impacts of natural disasters are also discussed. It is essential to improve public health infrastructure, enhance surveillance systems, encourage research on the immediate and long-term health impact of natural disasters, improve our understanding of the environmental drivers of disease emergence, and build capacity to cope with the increasing threats of infectious disease as a result of environmental and climate change
Priority driven research in primary health care: how well has the Australian primary health care research institute performed in knowledge translation?
No full textThe role of evidence in informing policy development in primary health care is particularly important for Australia as the government unfolds significant national health reform and moves to implement Australia’s first National Primary Health Care Strategy. The Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute (APHCRI) is a national centre of excellence in primary health care research which conducts and funds priority driven research. APHCRI’s work focuses on health services issues relating to the organisation, financing, delivery and performance of primary health care, including its interaction with public health and the secondary and tertiary health care sectors. APHCRI’s role is to strengthen the knowledge base of primary health care to inform policy and practice through conducting and supporting research; facilitate the uptake of evidence in primary health care policy and practice; and enhance research capacity in primary health care through strategic partnerships, APHCRI identifies and manages a national strategic program of research in primary health care and contributes to informed national debate in health policy and funding arrangements. In order to be informed about the efficacy of its model APHCRI commissioned a review to assess the processes used by APHCRI to fund research and the effectiveness of the synthesis and transfer of knowledge generated by APHCRI-funded research. This paper reports on the outcomes of that review
