Background: There is limited evidence of high-quality, accessible, culturally safe, and effective digital health interventions for Indigenous mothers and babies. Like any other intervention, the feasibility and efficacy of digital health interventions depend on how well they are co-designed with Indigenous communities and their adaptability to intracultural diversity.
Objective: This study aims to adapt an existing co-designed mobile health (mHealth) intervention app with health professionals and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander mothers living in South Australia.
Objective: The authors' goal was to perform a retrospective audit of all emergency cranial neurosurgery performed at the Royal Darwin Hospital in the first 5 years of the unit and to compile their data in a similar fashion to an earlier study titled "Emergency Neurosurgery in Darwin: Still the Generalist Surgeons' Responsibility," which was published in 2015.
Methods: All emergency cranial neurosurgery performed by a neurosurgeon between 2017 and 2021 was identified. Data were extracted from the National Critical Care and Trauma Response Centre database.

- - This study explored how attending early childhood education and care (ECEC) impacts outdoor play, screen time, and sleep in children aged 2 and 3 years using data from Australian trials conducted between 2017 and 2020.
- - Results showed that children who attended ECEC engaged in significantly more outdoor play and less screen time compared to those who didn't, although ECEC attendance didn't affect sleep duration.
- - The study highlighted that children from higher socio-economic backgrounds were more likely to attend ECEC, indicating a need for future health programs to address those from lower socio-demographic backgrounds who may not access these services.
