Music as a determinant of health among First Nations people in Australia: A scoping narrative review
CONCLUSION: While many recent studies identify the impact of First Nations' expressive practices broadly, they miss important features of First Nations music as a potentially unique cultural, social, political and ecological determinant of health. SO WHAT?: There is an opportunity for future research and health determinant modelling to explicitly examine the role of First Nations music and other creative practices for social and emotional well-being.PMID:38649338 | DOI:10.1002/hpja.865 (Source: Health Promotion Journal of Australia)

Process evaluation of a maintenance pulmonary rehabilitation trial for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Successful implementation of PR RCTs requires good organisational skills, clear and consistent trial documentation, broad understanding of participant needs while being conscious of challenges experienced by people with COPD, and dedication by everyone involved in the RCT. SO WHAT?: This article shows the importance of running a process evaluation alongside an RCT. Although this RCT did not progress to complet...

Impact on help-seeking behaviours of a campaign perceived to decrease stigma and increase openness around mental health
CONCLUSION: As far as we are aware, these are the first reported findings of a positive impact on mental health help-seeking behaviours as a result of a population-wide mental health promotion Campaign being seen to have increased openness around mental health and decreased stigma around mental illness. SO WHAT?: These findings suggest that accompanying specific stigma reduction interventions with a broad-based, population-wide, positive mental health promotion Campaign such as the Act-Belong-Commit campaign, could amplify these interventions' impact on help-seeking by increasing openness about mental health issues.PMID:38...
