In total, 322 adolescents (mean age = 14.4 ± 0.6 years) from eight secondary schools in New South Wales, Australia were recruited. The S4HM intervention was guided by Self-Determination Theory and included: an interactive seminar, eHealth messaging, a behavioral contract and parental newsletters. The primary outcome was recreational screen-time. Secondary outcomes included mental health (i.e., well-being, psychological distress, self-perceptions), objectively measured physical activity, and body mass index (BMI). Outcome analyses were conducted using linear mixed models and mediation was examined using a product-of-coefficients test. Results: At post-intervention, significant reductions in screen-time were observed in both groups, with a greater reduction observed in the intervention group (− 50 min/day versus − 29 min, p < 0.05 for both). However, the adjusted difference in change between groups was not statistically significant (mean = − 21.3 min/day, p = 0.255). There were no significant intervention effects for mental health outcomes, physical activity or BMI. Significant mediation effects for autonomous motivation were found. Conclusions: Participants in both the S4HM intervention and control groups significantly reduced their screen-time, with no group-by-time effects. Enhancing autonomous motivation might be a useful intervention target for trials aimed at reducing adolescents' recreational screen-time.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:06:47 AEST ]]> Exposure to dysfunctional parenting and trauma events and posttraumatic stress profiles among a treatment sample with coexisting depression and alcohol use problems https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17162 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:12:13 AEST ]]> Does methamphetamine use increase violent behaviour?

Multivariate logistic regression explored variables related to tobacco smoking. Results: Eight hundred nineteen patients participated. Over one-fifth (21.8%) identified as a current smoker, half (51.8%) reported consuming alcohol at hazardous levels in the last 12 months, and about 10% stated that they had used cannabis in the last 30 days (9.7%), or experienced symptoms of either anxiety (12.4%), or depression (12.9%) in the last two weeks. Over one-fifth of current tobacco smokers (21.8%) reported drinking heavily in the last 12 months and using cannabis recently. Males, with a lower educational attainment, who were unmarried, had used cannabis recently, and report drinking heavily were more likely to be current smokers. Conclusions: Health behaviour interventions addressing comorbidities are warranted among the orthopaedic trauma population given the high rate of comorbidity and impact these may have on recovery.]]> Tue 26 Nov 2019 15:16:09 AEDT ]]> It's worth a try: the treatment experiences of rural and urban participants in a randomized controlled trial of computerized psychological treatment for comorbid depression and alcohol/other drug use https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13844 Tue 24 Aug 2021 14:32:42 AEST ]]> A meta-analysis of differences in IL-6 and IL-10 between people with and without depression: exploring the causes of heterogeneity https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13830 Tue 24 Aug 2021 14:29:16 AEST ]]> Craving as a predictor of treatment outcomes in heavy drinkers with comorbid depressed mood https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13813 Tue 24 Aug 2021 14:28:24 AEST ]]> Dose-related psychotic symptoms in chronic methamphetamine users: evidence from a prospective longitudinal study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13824 Tue 24 Aug 2021 14:27:34 AEST ]]> Evaluating the impact of community-based treatment options on methamphetamine use: findings from the Methamphetamine Treatment Evaluation Study (MATES) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13823 Tue 24 Aug 2021 14:27:18 AEST ]]> A three-arm randomised controlled trial of a telehealth intervention targeting improvement in addictive eating for Australian adults (the TRACE program). https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54318 Tue 20 Feb 2024 15:51:10 AEDT ]]> Differential treatment effects of an integrated motivational interviewing and exercise intervention on depressive symptom profiles and associated factors: a randomised controlled cross-over trial among youth with major depression https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36469 Tue 19 May 2020 09:24:47 AEST ]]> Engaging youth with major depression in an exercise intervention with motivational interviewing https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36468 Tue 19 May 2020 09:24:42 AEST ]]> 'Better Health Choices' by telephone: a feasibility trial of improving diet and physical activity in people diagnosed with psychotic disorders https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15660 Tue 16 Oct 2018 13:11:28 AEDT ]]> A qualitative exploration of SMART recovery meetings in Australia and the role of a digital platform to support routine outcome monitoring https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38343 Tue 13 Feb 2024 15:31:22 AEDT ]]> Factors associated with smoke-free pregnancy among Aboriginal and Torres Strait women and their experience of quitting smoking in pregnancy: A mixed method cross-sectional study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44326 Tue 11 Oct 2022 16:26:45 AEDT ]]> Evaluating the efficacy of an integrated motivational interviewing and multi-modal exercise intervention for youth with major depression: Healthy Body, Healthy Mind randomised controlled trial protocol https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44202 Tue 06 Jun 2023 14:36:21 AEST ]]> Effectiveness of clinical practice change strategies in improving dietitian care for head and neck cancer patients according to evidence based clinical guidelines: a stepped wedge randomised controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34984 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:01:58 AEST ]]> A mobile phone-based healthy lifestyle monitoring tool for people with mental health problems (MyHealthPA): Development and pilot testing https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34997 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:01:15 AEST ]]> Measuring cognitive insight in people with problematic substance use: an exploration of the factor validity of the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38082 2[22, n = 312] = 76.43, P ' 0.02).

Intervention effectiveness was found in the short term for all outcome measures (OR = 1.29, 95% CI 1.12, 1.50, p = .001), for "prolonged abstinence" (OR = 1.43, 95% CI 1.09, 1.87, p = .009), and "30 day PPA" (OR = 1.75, 95% CI 1.13, 2.72, p = .013). Internet-based programs were effective in the long term for all outcome measures (OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.06, 1.35, p = .004) and for "prolonged abstinence" (OR = 1.40, 95% CI 1.19, 1.63, p < .001). On average, interventions used more BCTs than comparison groups (6.6 vs. 3.1, p = .0002). The impact of specific individual BCTs and BCT domains on effectiveness was examined and is reported. Conclusions: Internet-based smoking cessation interventions increased the odds of cessation by 29 per cent in the short term and by 19 per cent in the long term. Internet-based smoking cessation intervention development should incorporate BCTs to increase effectiveness.

Therapeutic alliance was assessed using the Agnew Relationship Measure; primary outcomes were treatment retention and changes in symptoms and health behaviors. Contrary to expectations, early alliance did not predict treatment retention. However, elements of both client- and therapist-rated alliance predicted some clinical outcomes (e.g., higher confidence in the therapeutic alliance at session 1 predicted improvements in 12-month depression). Some modest interactions between early alliance and intervention condition were also identified (e.g., clients initially with lower self-perceived initiative, or higher therapist-perceived bonding benefited preferentially from the telephone-delivered intervention), highlighting the need to further examine the interplay between therapeutic alliance and treatment modality.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:39:12 AEDT ]]> Inpatient views and experiences before and after implementing a totally smoke-free policy in the acute psychiatry hospital setting https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26614 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:00 AEDT ]]> Co-existing mental health and drug and alcohol problems: steps towards better treatment https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3843 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:22:29 AEDT ]]> Behavioral Interventions to Reduce Cardiovascular Risk Among People with Severe Mental Disorder https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48242 Sat 11 Mar 2023 12:50:46 AEDT ]]> A randomised trial of dialectical behaviour therapy and the conversational model for the treatment of borderline personality disorder with recent suicidal and/or non-suicidal self-injury: an effectiveness study in an Australian public mental health service https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38356 Mon 30 Aug 2021 16:11:44 AEST ]]> Addressing smoking in sheltered homelessness with intensive smoking treatment (ASSIST project): A pilot feasibility study of varenicline, combination nicotine replacement therapy and motivational interviewing https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49716 Mon 29 May 2023 14:59:51 AEST ]]> Better health choices: feasability and preliminary effectiveness of a peer delivered healthy lifestyle intervention in a community mental health setting https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38937 SD = 2.6; out of 8-sessions).

When compared to the control condition, there were medium effects in favor of the Healthy Recovery condition for reductions in smoking and increases in physical activity. There was a small effect for servings of fruit and no effect for servings of vegetables. Conclusions: Results from this study demonstrated that people attending residential substance dependence treatment are willing and capable of engaging in multiple health behavior change interventions.]]> Mon 20 Mar 2023 12:29:21 AEDT ]]> Adapted motivational interviewing for brief healthcare consultations: A systematic review and meta-analysis of treatment fidelity in real-world evaluations of behaviour change counselling https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53761 Mon 15 Jan 2024 09:48:58 AEDT ]]> Addressing concerns about smoking cessation and mental health: Theoretical review and practical guide for healthcare professionals https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46279 Mon 14 Nov 2022 15:35:09 AEDT ]]> Healthy recovery: a stepped wedge cluster randomised controlled trial of a healthy lifestyle intervention for people attending residential alcohol and other drug treatment https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46239 Mon 14 Nov 2022 13:07:50 AEDT ]]> Evaluating an Aboriginal community controlled residential alcohol and other drug services: Use of benchmarking to examine within treatment changes in wellbeing https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47974 Mon 13 Feb 2023 16:19:53 AEDT ]]> Feasibility and preliminary results of a call centre delivered continuing care intervention following residential alcohol and other drug treatment https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51587 Mon 11 Sep 2023 15:18:01 AEST ]]> Assessing adherence, competence and differentiation in a stepped-wedge randomised clinical trial of a complex behaviour change intervention https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38504 n = 18) from five Australian hospitals delivered a period of routine care and following a randomly determined order each site received training and began delivering the EAT Intervention. A 20% random stratified sample of audio-recorded consultations (control n = 196; intervention n = 194) was coded by trained, independent, raters using a study specific checklist and the Behaviour Change Counselling Inventory. Intervention adherence and competence were examined relative to apriori benchmarks. Differentiation was examined by comparing control and intervention sessions (adherence, competence, non-specific factors, and dose), via multiple linear regression, logistic regression, or mixed-models. Results: Achievement of adherence benchmarks varied. The majority of sessions attained competence. Post-training consultations were clearly distinct from routine care regarding motivational and behavioural, but not generic, skills. Conclusions: Although what level of fidelity is "good enough" remains an important research question, findings support the real-world feasibility of integrating EAT into dietetic consultations with HNC patients and provide a foundation for interpreting treatment effects.]]> Mon 09 May 2022 16:20:26 AEST ]]> Access to and Use of Internet and Social Media by Low-Morbidity Stroke Survivors Participating in a National Web-Based Secondary Stroke Prevention Trial: Cross-sectional Survey https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48223 75 years were significantly less likely to use social media compared with those aged <55 years (adjusted odds ratio 0.17, 95% CI 0.07-0.44). Health risk factors were not found to be associated with searching for health- or medical-related information. Conclusions: The internet appears to be a viable platform to engage with stroke survivors who may not be high-morbidity to conduct research and provide information and health interventions. This is important given that they are at high risk of recurrent stroke regardless of their level of disability. Exploring the technology use behaviors and the possibility of eHealth among survivors who experience higher levels of morbidity or disability because of their stroke is an area of research that warrants further study.]]> Mon 08 May 2023 10:35:04 AEST ]]> Effectiveness of a Stand-alone Telephone-Delivered Intervention for Reducing Problem Alcohol Use: A Randomized Clinical Trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51318 Fri 27 Oct 2023 14:13:48 AEDT ]]> Do outcomes of cognitive-behaviour therapy for co-occurring alcohol misuse and depression differ for participants with symptoms of posttraumatic stress? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46474 N = 220) with current depressive symptoms and alcohol misuse were recruited from the DAISI project, a randomised controlled trial with four treatment arms. PTSD symptoms were assessed at baseline by the Posttraumatic Stress Diagnostic Scale and again at the 3-month assessment. Results: McNemars t-test assessed for changes in PTSD symptom severity and PTSD symptom clusters at the 3-month assessment. Repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance assessed for changes in PTSD symptoms, by DAISI treatment allocation. At the 3-month assessment, participants with PTSD reported significant reductions in PTSD symptoms (except intrusion) and a lower rate of PTSD, and responded better to integrated depression-alcohol misuse CBT than to the alcohol/depression single-focussed or brief interventions. Conclusion: Integrated depression and alcohol misuse CBT may be effective for PTSD symptoms, but intrusions may need to be addressed specifically.]]> Fri 25 Nov 2022 15:45:27 AEDT ]]> Loneliness among people with substance use problems: a narrative systematic review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40044 Fri 22 Jul 2022 13:20:33 AEST ]]> Alcohol consumption in the Australian coal mining industry https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27360 Fri 22 Apr 2022 10:22:38 AEST ]]> Health service utilisation attributable to methamphetamine use in Australia: patterns, predictors and national impact https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27032 Fri 22 Apr 2022 10:20:14 AEST ]]> Health literacy and healthcare service utilisation in the 12-months prior to entry into residential alcohol and other drug treatment https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47446 Fri 20 Jan 2023 14:15:24 AEDT ]]> An emotion regulation and impulse control (ERIC) intervention for vulnerable young people: a multi-sectoral pilot study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47231 Fri 16 Dec 2022 12:08:53 AEDT ]]>
