Globally, nearly 9 million people are living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Although the incidence of T1D is not affected by socioeconomic status, the development of complications and limited access to modern therapy is overrepresented in vulnerable populations. Diabetes technology, specifically continuous glucose monitoring and automated insulin delivery systems, are considered the gold standard for management of T1D, yet access to these technologies varies widely across countries and regions, and varies widely even within high-income countries.
Increasingly, preterm-born children are entering adulthood as survival at earlier gestational ages improves. However, there is little understanding of the lived experience in preterm-born adults.
A type 1 diabetes (T1D) transition clinic in Sydney, Australia, provides age specific care for young adults (aged 16-25 years) and for adults (aged 21 years and above), and has reported improved clinical outcomes post transition to adult care over a 21-year period. This study investigated the contribution of digital technology to long-term resilient capacity of the clinic.
There is mounting concern over the potential harms associated with ultra-processed foods, including poor mental health and antisocial behavior. Cutting-edge research provides an enhanced understanding of biophysiological mechanisms, including microbiome pathways, and invites a historical reexamination of earlier work that investigated the relationship between nutrition and criminal behavior. Here, in this perspective article, we explore how this emergent research casts new light and greater significance on previous key observations.
A study by The Kids has found children with a parent who has gone to prison are significantly more likely to have poor development outcomes.
The need for a WA Youth Health Policy has been evident for years. Now, with The Kids Research Institute Australia helping to drive the project, it is coming to fruition.
All parents want their children to be happy. But in our rapidly changing modern world what does that actually mean? Prof. Stephen Zubrick provides his top tips.
This study was to explore the parenting patterns of families exposed to the fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) work pattern in raising adolescent children...
The purpose of this paper is to examine risk factors associated with Western Australian secondary school students' involvement in violence-related behaviours.
Young people's use of mobile phones and access to the Internet have increased dramatically in the last decade, especially among those aged 9-15 years.
