A longitudinal analysis of the impact of multidimensional precarious employment on the mental health of men and women.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of precarious employment (PE) on the mental health of Australians. Building on previous research, we conceptualised PE as a multidimensional construct, accounted for gender differences in the associations, and our modelling strategy addressed the possibility of reverse causality bias. Data was pooled panel data from 15 waves (2005-2019) of the HILDA survey (n = 14,237).

Feasibility, Acceptability, and Validity of Home Continuous Glucose Monitoring-Based Oral Glucose Tolerance Test in Youth.

Context: Home-based approaches to type 2 diabetes (T2D) screening in youth may facilitate early diagnosis.

Objective: To evaluate feasibility, acceptability, and validity of a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-based oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

Design: Prospective observational study.

The health information management professionals' role in supporting individuals considering genetic testing: An exploratory study.

An increasing number of people are exploring their genetic predisposition to many diseases, allowing them to make healthcare decisions with improved knowledge. The aim of this study was to identify factors that influence individuals to consider genetic testing utilising a modified health belief model (HBM). The authors tested the modified HBM using a convenience sample of individuals from across the United States after a pilot study was used to test the validity and reliability of the constructs.

The gendered associations between precarious employment and mental health in working-age Australians: A longitudinal analysis using 16 waves of the HILDA survey.

Unemployment and precarious employment (PE) are routinely found to be associated with poorer mental health. Importantly, women are over-represented in PE (due to disproportionate unpaid care demands), yet a gender lens has been lacking in much of the extant literature. This study addresses several gaps by reconsidering how PE can be conceptualised from a gender perspective and examining the impact of differing levels of multidimensional PE on the mental health of working-age Australians.
