We argue that this gratuitous acceptance of specialization as a foundational component of the medical enterprise has adverse ramifications for health education which impede the advancement of community health. We suggest that specialization has been crystallized as a paradigmatic heuristic that almost imperceptibly encodes other unexamined philosophical assumptions, which are conjointly responsible for the ineffectiveness of modern medicine in its efforts to stem the rising tide of degenerative disease epidemics, such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. Lest we be misunderstood, it is imperative to make clear that it is no part of our purpose to denigrate the many quite astonishing breakthroughs in the technology of modern medicine. Our objective is to be critically constructive by showing that in regard to control of the epidemic of chronic disease, the medical preoccupation with specialization is not necessarily the best use of resources, and may in fact be inimical to the goal of diminishing the pervasiveness of chronic degenerative disease.]]> Wed 04 Sep 2019 09:48:51 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55892 Wed 03 Jul 2024 14:59:20 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52727 Tue 24 Oct 2023 08:45:27 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47027 Tue 13 Dec 2022 13:05:53 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34796 Tue 03 Sep 2019 17:59:27 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27020 Tue 01 May 2018 11:18:48 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35570 Cracks in the Ice Community Toolkit was conducted in collaboration with community members across Australia and with experts working in the addiction field. The iterative process involved the following: (1) consultation with end users, including community members, crystal methamphetamine users, families and friends of someone using crystal methamphetamine, health professionals, and teachers (n=451) via a cross-sectional Web-based survey to understand information needs; (2) content and Web development; and (3) user testing of a beta version of the Web-based toolkit among end users (n=41) and experts (n=10) to evaluate the toolkit's acceptability, relevance, and appeal. Results: Initial end user consultation indicated that the most commonly endorsed reasons for visiting a website about crystal methamphetamine were "to get information for myself" (185/451, 41.0%) and "to find out how to help a friend or a family member" (136/451, 30.2%). Community consultation also revealed the need for simple information about crystal methamphetamine, including what it is, its effects, and when and where to seek help or support. Feedback on a beta version of the toolkit was positive in terms of content, readability, layout, look, and feel. Commonly identified areas for improvement related to increasing the level of engagement and personal connection, improving the ease of navigation, and balancing a "low prevalence of use, yet high impact" message. A total of 9138 users visited the website in the 3 months immediately post launch, and over 25,000 hard-copy Cracks in the Ice booklets and flyers were distributed across Australia. Of these resources, 60.93% (15,525/25,480) were distributed to relevant organizations and mailing list subscribers, and 39.07% (9955/25,480) were ordered directly by individuals, services, and community groups via the Cracks in the Ice website. Conclusions: The codevelopment process resulted in an engaging Web-based resource for the Australian community to access up-to-date and evidence-based resources about crystal methamphetamine. The Cracks in the Ice Community Toolkit provides much-needed information and support for individuals, families, and communities.]]> Thu 28 Oct 2021 13:02:29 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48992 Thu 14 Mar 2024 08:31:09 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49326 Thu 11 May 2023 15:00:42 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40629 Thu 11 Aug 2022 09:12:34 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2848 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:27:12 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19071 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:20 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17814 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:57:34 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20288 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:08 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28044 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:02 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30732 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:39:25 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26597 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:00 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38358 Mon 30 Aug 2021 16:34:38 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30514 Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:55:41 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34168 Mon 18 Feb 2019 13:59:08 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44547 Mon 17 Oct 2022 09:31:32 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35268 Mon 08 Jul 2019 10:34:23 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41311 Mon 01 Aug 2022 15:46:22 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45452 P=.02) and people who used crystal methamphetamine (P<.001). Website visitors had significantly higher baseline knowledge than naïve participants (P<.001). Among naïve participants, knowledge scores increased following exposure to the website (mean 15.2, SE 0.05) compared to baseline (mean 14.4, SE 0.05; P<.001). The largest shifts in knowledge were observed for items related to prevalence, legal issues, and the effects of the drug. Stigmatizing attitude scores among the naïve group were significantly lower following exposure to CITI (mean 41.97, SE 0.21) compared to baseline (mean 44.3, SE 0.21; P<.001). Conclusions: This study provides an innovative evaluation of a national eHealth resource. CITI is achieving its aim of disseminating evidence-based, nonstigmatizing, and useful information and resources about crystal methamphetamine to key end user groups and has received good usability scores across its target groups. Interaction with CITI led to immediate improvements in knowledge about crystal methamphetamine and a decrease in stigmatizing attitudes. CITI demonstrates the important role of digital information and support platforms for translating evidence into practice and improving knowledge and reducing stigma.]]> Fri 28 Oct 2022 14:31:30 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40689 Fri 22 Jul 2022 11:57:15 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39992 p < 0.001).
