"They start on the zero-alcohol and they wanna try the real thing": Parents' views on zero-alcohol beverages and their use by adolescents
CONCLUSIONS: Parents reported conflicting and cautious views on zero-alcohol beverage provision to adolescents.IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: As evidence on the impacts of zero-alcohol beverage availability develops, parent-targeted messages highlighting the potential risk of normalisation of alcohol use for young people could be developed, in conjunction with broader policy responses.PMID:38438293 | DOI:10.1016/j.anzjph.2023.100119 (Source: Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health)

A cross-sectional investigation of the factors associated with awareness of PEP and PrEP among Queensland university students
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the need for future health promotion targeting younger Australians at risk of HIV to increase uptake of PrEP/PEP, particularly among overseas-born young people and those ineligible for appropriate health care in Australia.IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: Addressing these gaps will improve sexual health outcomes for young Australians at risk of HIV and work towards virtual elimination of HIV transmission in Australia.PMID:38432178 | DOI:10.1016/j.anzjph.2024.100136 (Source: Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health)

Counting culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) children in Australian health research: Does it matter how we count?
CONCLUSIONS: There is no consensus on how CALD is defined in Australian child health research. Application of different CALD indicators can generate up to seven-fold differences in estimates of who counts as being a CALD child.IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: If we are to advance health and well-being equity for CALD children, we need a more consistent approach to understanding which children are counted as CALD.PMID:38429223 | DOI:10.1016/j.anzjph.2024.100129 (Source: Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health)

Creating an interactive map visualising the geographic variations of the burden of diabetes to inform policymaking: An example from a cohort study in Tasmania, Australia
CONCLUSIONS: We have developed a method to graphically display important diabetes outcomes for different geographical areas.IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: The method presented in our study could be applied to any other diseases, regions, and countries where appropriate data are available to identify areas where interventions are needed to improve diabetes outcomes.PMID:38429224 | DOI:10.1016/j.anzjph.2023.100109 (Source: Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health)

What we do matters: Supporting anti-racism and decolonisation of public health teaching and practice through the development of M āori public health competencies
CONCLUSIONS: The Māori hauora ā-iwi/public health competencies have been published under a Creative Commons licence.IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: The process of drafting a set of Māori public health competencies elicited key themes potentially relevant for public health practice in other countries and resulted in a competency document for use by universities and workplaces.PMID:38422582 | DOI:10.1016/j.anzjph.2024.100132 (Source: Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health)

It matters who you are and where you live: Commonwealth, state and territory policies for access to care for Australians with chronic kidney disease and their caregivers
CONCLUSION: There is a lack of CKD-specific policies addressing access to care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people living in rural and remote communities.IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: Despite the known disparities in the burden of CKD there are few policies addressing CKD disparities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and Australians living in rural and remote areas. Policies that specifically address the barriers to accessing care are required to reduce inequities.PMID:38422583 | DOI:10.1016/j.anzjph.2024.100131 (Source: Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health)
