TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of an evaluation of the School Support Programme operating in schools in Victoria, Australia, which is provided to networks of refugees and asylum seekers.

TL;DR: A systems-oriented, culturally competent approach to service provision would improve the service utilisation experience for parents and providers, including formalising links and notifications between settlement services and MCH services.

TL;DR: Examining the existing reporting frameworks for research against information sought by users of systematic reviews of public health interventions and suggesting additional items that should be considered are suggested to improve the quality and usefulness of published evidence and increase its impact on public health program planning.

TL;DR: This paper explored the impact of social networks and support on the resettlement experiences of newly-arrived migrant youth of refugee background in Australia and argued that promoting ethical practice and methodological validity are mutually reinforcing objectives and illustrate how processes of ethical reflexivity were applied to resolve methodological challenges, promote autonomy and capacity of research participants and enhance the potential for outcomes to be rigorous and useful.

TL;DR: There is some evidence that specific individual, relational and school factors are associated with resilient outcomes across a range of contexts and such factors provide an important starting point for effective public health interventions to promote resilience.
