Primary care experiences in the 'Let's test for HPV' study: a qualitative analysis
Conclusion Primary care staff described the experience of using the HPV testing pathway positively; however, there were requests for ongoing additional support and nationwide rollout to be supported by practitioner and patient education programmes.

An area-based description of closed books in general practices in Aotearoa New Zealand
Conclusion The problem of closed books is felt across the country but has a larger impact in the middle-lower North Island. This influences access to primary health care enrolment for patients in terms of travel distance, time, and cost. Consultation fees were strongly associated with closed books. This suggests there may be an income threshold above which general practices can afford to close their books if they reach capacity.PMID:37390036 | DOI:10.1071/HC23035

Contact tracing for sexually transmitted infections in Aotearoa New Zealand: a review of clinician-notified gonorrhoea and syphilis data
Discussion Although surveillance data for gonorrhoea and syphilis are incomplete, estimates can be obtained about the number and type of contacts, which can be used to inform contact tracing strategies. Optimisation of the content of clinician-completed forms and an improved response rate would provide a more complete picture to inform interventions to address the high and inequitable prevalence of sexually transmitted infections in Aotearoa New Zealand.PMID:37390035 | DOI:10.1071/HC22147

What are green prescriptions? A scoping review
Conclusion The use of the term 'green prescriptions' is inconsistent and has led to misuse of the research evidence regarding written prescriptions for exercise/diet being used to justify nature exposure to improve human health. We recommend that the term 'green prescriptions' continues to be used only as per its original definition, to refer to written prescriptions for physical activity and/or diet. For prescriptions to spend time in nature, we suggest use of the more appropriate term 'nature prescriptions'.PMID:37390033 | DOI:10.1071/HC23007

Do patients with mental health and substance use conditions experience discrimination and diagnostic overshadowing in primary care in Aotearoa New Zealand? Results from a national online survey

Characteristics and gender affirming healthcare needs of transgender and non-binary students starting hormone therapy in a student health service in Aotearoa New Zealand
