However, deaths due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in this population remain poorly described. We aimed to estimate mortality due to NCDs in people with a history of involvement with the youth justice system, compare NCD mortality rates in this population with those in the general population, and characterise demographic and justice-related factors associated with deaths caused by NCDs in people with a history of contact with the youth justice system. ...

With community permission, this study aimed to gain a better understanding of community experiences, perceptions, and priorities around stillbirth. ...

Due to its pervasiveness, this qualitative study investigated strategies employed by Aboriginal people to deal with lateral violence. ...

        At present, limited literature exists exploring patient preferences for prophylactic treatment of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease.
