Item Advancing the Australian global health community's commitment to climate change and global health.(2023-12-19) Bone A.; Kaur P.; Capon A.; Lin V.K.-W.; Tu'itahi S.; Bowen K.; Watts N.; Fisher J.R.W.; Stewart P.J.; Evans H.; Lo S.N.Item Knowledge translation in Indigenous health research: voices from the field.(2024-07-03) Kennedy M.; Ninomiya M.M.; Brascoupe S.; Smylie J.; Calma T.; Mohamed J.; Stewart P.J.; Maddox R.Objectives: To better understand what knowledge translation activities are effective and meaningful to Indigenous communities and what is required to advance knowledge translation in health research with, for, and by Indigenous communities. Study design: Workshop and collaborative yarning. Setting(s): Lowitja Institute International Indigenous Health Conference, Cairns, June 2023. Participant(s): About 70 conference delegates, predominantly Indigenous people involved in research and Indigenous health researchers who shared their knowledge, experiences, and recommendations for knowledge translation through yarning and knowledge sharing. Result(s): Four key themes were developed using thematic analysis: knowledge translation is fundamental to research and upholding community rights; knowledge translation approaches must be relevant to local community needs and ways of mobilising knowledge; researchers and research institutions must be accountable for ensuring knowledge translation is embedded, respected and implemented in ways that address community priorities; and knowledge translation must be planned and evaluated in ways that reflect Indigenous community measures of success. Conclusion(s): Knowledge translation is fundamental to making research matter, and critical to ethical research. It must be embedded in all stages of research practice. Effective knowledge translation approaches are Indigenous-led and move beyond Euro-Western academic metrics. Institutions, funding bodies, and academics should embed structures required to uphold Indigenous knowledge translation. We join calls for reimaging health and medical research to embed Indigenous knowledge translation as a prerequisite for generative knowledge production that makes research matter.Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).

A number of studies have documented the high prevalence of suicide behavior and mortality in Australia and internationally. However, no studies have focused on documenting the correlates of suicide behavior for Indigenous youth in Australia. Aim(s): To examine the prevalence of suicide ideation and attempt and the associated factors for a community cohort of Koori (Aboriginal) youth. Method(s): Data were obtained from the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service (VAHS) Young People's Project (YPP), a community initiated cross-sectional data set. In 1997/1998, self-reported data were collected for 172 Koori youth aged 12-26 years living in Melbourne, Australia. The data were analyzed to assess the prevalence of current suicide ideation and lifetime suicide attempt. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used to identify closely associated social, emotional, behavioral, and cultural variables at baseline and Cox regression modeling was then used to identify associations between PCA components and suicide ideation and attempt. Result(s): Ideation and attempt were reported at 23.3% and 24.4%, respectively. PCA yielded fi ve components: (1) emotional distress, (2) social distress A, (3) social distress B, (4) cultural connection, (5) behavioral. All were positively and independently associated with suicide ideation and attempt, while cultural connection showed a negative association. Conclusion(s): Suicide ideation and attempt were common in this cross-section of Indigenous youth with an unfavorable profi le for the emotional, social, cultural, and behavioral factors.
