Journal ArticleDOI
Interventions for preventing obesity in children
Elizabeth Waters,Andrea de Silva-Sanigorski,Belinda Burford,Tamara Brown,Karen J. Campbell,Yang Gao,Rebecca Armstrong,Lauren Prosser,Carolyn Summerbell +8 more
TL;DR: There is limited quality data on the effectiveness of obesity prevention programs and as such no generalisable conclusions can be drawn, and the need for well-designed studies which examine a range of interventions remains a priority.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of vibration of effects due to model specification can demonstrate the instability of observational associations
TL;DR: Estimating VoE offers empirical estimates of associations are under different model specifications, and when VoE is large, claims for observational associations should be very cautious.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the complexity of interventions within systematic reviews: development, content and use of a new tool (iCAT_SR).
Simon Lewin,Simon Lewin,Maggie Hendry,Jackie Chandler,Andrew D Oxman,Susan Michie,Sasha Shepperd,Barnaby C Reeves,Peter Tugwell,Karin Hannes,Eva Rehfuess,V. Welch,V. Welch,Joanne E. McKenzie,Belinda Burford,Jennifer Petkovic,Laurie M. Anderson,Janet Harris,Jane Noyes +18 more
TL;DR: The iCAT_SR tool facilitates more in-depth, systematic assessment of the complexity of interventions in systematic reviews and can assist in undertaking reviews and interpreting review findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the applicability of findings in systematic reviews of complex interventions can enhance the utility of reviews for decision making.
Belinda Burford,Simon Lewin,Simon Lewin,Vivian Welch,Vivian Welch,Eva Rehfuess,Elizabeth Waters +6 more
TL;DR: This work recommends that review authors plan and conduct analyses to explain variations in effect and answer questions about mechanisms of action and influence of different settings, contexts, and populations and recommends that authors provide rich descriptions of the setting, implementation details, resource use, and contexts of included studies and assess applicability for at least one target population, setting, and context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strengthening evaluation to capture the breadth of public health practice: ideal vs. real.
Tahna Pettman,Rebecca Armstrong,Jodie Doyle,Belinda Burford,Laurie M. Anderson,Tessa Hillgrove,Nikki Honey,Elizabeth Waters +7 more
TL;DR: This paper aims to provide a history of child health and wellbeing in Australia in the context of what is known as “informed consent”, a form of consent that is based on an individual’s willingness to accept responsibility for their health.
