Background Obesity in pregnancy is a growing problem worldwide, with excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) occurring the majority of pregnancies. This significantly increases risks to both mother and child. A major contributor prepregnancy obesity GWG physical inactivity; however, past interventions targeting maternal activity levels during antenatal period have been ineffective women who are already overweight. Pedometer-guided may offer novel solution for increasing this population....

The overrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (respectfully referred to hereafter as "Aboriginal") children in the child protection system is a concern Australia, with placed out-of-home care at rate 11 times that non-Aboriginal children. This study utilised linked administrative data determine longitudinal pathways from birth age 10 years for cohort 15,815 born Western Australia between 2000 2006. In total, 9,269 (59%) did not have any contact one year prior their 11th...
Abstract Australia and Canada are global exemplars of skilled migration policy, designed to have important effects on economic growth. This article assesses the development outcomes their permanent programmes for a range regulated professions. We compare matched census data from both countries in 2016 then examine key drivers major differences found through qualitative interviews. Although trends numbers source characteristics migrants similar, earnings relative equivalent native‐born far...

Despite their low cost, the use of email invitations to distribute surveys medical practitioners have been associated with lower response rates. This research compares difference in rates from using approach plus online completion rather than a mailed invitation letter choice or paper completion.
