Assessing the impact of socio-demographics and farming activity on ward-level mortality patterns using farm and population decennial censuses
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that farming intensity scores, farming profits and socio-demographics' influence on mortality risk in a Ward were dependent on the specific social-environmental characteristics within that area. In line with earlier area level research, results support the aggregated interpretation that higher levels of farming activity within a Ward increase the risk of mortality within those Wards of NI. This was an essential study to enable future tailoring of new strategies and upgrading of current policies to bring about significant mortality risk change at local level.PMID:38530038 | DOI:10.1111/aj...

Chronic pain and the use of complementary and alternative medicine in rural Victoria, Australia
CONCLUSION: In the studied region, females and those with university education have the greatest odds of using CAM to treat chronic pain. This study needs to be complemented with more mechanistic investigations into the reasons people make the decisions they make about using CAM for the management of chronic pain.PMID:38511486 | DOI:10.1111/ajr.13114 (Source: The Australian Journal of Rural Health)

How the training pathways and capacity of rural physicians inform their scope of practice: A qualitative study examining the experiences of Australian and international medical graduates in South-East New South Wales, Australia
CONCLUSION: Doctors' scope of practice is informed by their pathways into rural practice. Australian medical graduates may not gain adequate competence during expedited training programs to confidently undertake extended clinical activities. International medical graduates, however lacked the opportunities and support, to utilise their expertise in rural practice. Complementarily utilising the expertise and commitment of both AMGs and IMGs may synergistically address workforce shortages.PMID:38504461 | DOI:10.1111/ajr.13105 (Source: The Australian Journal of Rural Health)
