Reports and Findings
Listening to children and families about what is important to them when visiting Child Development Services (CDS) can provide valuable insights.
Pregnancy marks the transition from childlessness to parenthood, and provides an opportunity for parents-to-be to prepare, research and reflect.
Irritability is a common trait seen in children. While expressions of irritability are part of normal development, servere irritability is a known indicator of child and adolescent mental health problems.
Self-regulatory difficulties in infants (difficulty soothing and sleeping) tells us that the infant may be at risk of developing a range of physical and mental health difficulties in later life.
The aim of the current project is to explore view of youth with lived experiences and their caregiver on the role of parent/caregivers and family in the prevention and treatment of anxiety and depression in adolescents in low- and middle- income countries.
The aim of this project is to develop and test a series of modules to promote mental health among young people with chronic conditions, using a positive psychology framework.
In this project, we aim to understand how mindfulness, compassion, and related constructs are experienced by Aboriginal people in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
In this study we will use new methods to comprehensively test immune responses in blood samples from people with ARF (diagnosed using the Jones Criteria) and healthy volunteers at Royal Darwin and from Auckland Hospital, New Zealand, to find any unique signature that reliably identifies ARF.
Appropriate innate immune function is essential to limit pathogenesis and severity of severe lower respiratory infections (sLRI) during infancy, a leading cause of hospitalization and risk factor for subsequent asthma in this age group.
A growing body of evidence supports the concept of a systemic response to non-severe thermal trauma. This provokes an immunosuppressed state that predisposes paediatric patients to poor recovery and increased risk of secondary morbidity.
