New surveys for 2013 coming soon!
Have you been missing our emails this year? Never fear, we will be in touch very soon with some new and interesting surveys for 2013!
New publications now online.
We've recently uploaded some reports and publications which have resulted from previous AHSS projects. This includes an article examining web-based physical activity interventions which was recently published in the Journal of Medical and Internet Research and a summary report of the findings of the Domestic and Family Violence project which was submitted to the Department of Communities after being finalised late in 2012. Please visit the Reports and Papers page to learn more.
Examining hot topics in 2012
2012 was another great year for the Australian Health and Social Science (AHSS) Project.We undertook research into some of the hottest topics in Australia, including farming practices and animal welfare, sitting time (sedentary behaviour) and the impact this can have on health and gambling behaviour and current perceptions of gambling reform legislation.
Your participation has helped our team secure a prestigious grant!
We are proud to be part of a successful National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) grant, announced in October. Director of the Institute's Centre for Physical Activity Studies (CPAS), Dr Corneel Vandelanotte, is the lead investigator on this prestigious grant. The highly competitive grant amounts to just under $700,000 and over three years will fund an extension to a pilot study (conducted with our AHSS panel members) that investigated the use of individually tailored video clips to boost physical activity levels. Those of you who took part in this study can take special satisfaction in knowing that your participation directly assisted in this fantastic outcome. Thank you!
A mixed-bag of research topics for 2011
From belief in luck to health care experiences, our 2011 projects really did cover some ground!
The year commenced with a three part randomised control trial which sought to examine the benefits of receiving personalised physical activity advice. This was done by investigating the usability and effectiveness of the My Personal Activity Advice website, developed by our own Dr Corneel Vandelanotte.
We then had fun and games (literally) with a study examining the links between belief in personal luck and gambling behaviour. This project involved the use of a computerised Implicit Association Test (IAT) which participants completed, along with a survey examining their views on luck.
Studies conducted in the second half of the year focused more on traditional health issues, including how lifestyle, health care provision and socioeconomic circumstances contribute to wellbeing. We also examined how various factors, such as childhood experiences and current lifestyle behaviours, can influence physical and psychological health.
Researching issues that matter to Australians
The AHSS project has really started to find its feet as we end 2010. We are pleased to have conducted research into some very important issues. This includes our recently completed survey examining perceptions towards domestic and family violence developed by a team of researchers from the Queensland Centre for Domestic and Family Violence Research. We've also explored perceptions of gambling and gambling behaviour, and risk factors for ill health, including workplace settings and sedentary behaviour. We look forward to next year!
The Australian Health and Social Science Project is born!
