Priority setting for non-communicable disease prevention - Co-producing a regulatory agenda informing novel codes of practice in Australia.

There are a range of priority setting methods for non-communicable disease (NCDs) prevention.

Overcoming barriers to use of child car seats in an urban Aboriginal community-formative evaluation of a program for Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services.

Background: Little is known about the barriers to use of child car seats in Australian Aboriginal communities, or the acceptability of programs to increase appropriate car seat use. This formative evaluation sought to consult and partner with Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS) to develop and evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a program intended to improve optimal use of child car seats.

Methods: Focus groups were conducted with parents and carers of Aboriginal children to identify the barriers and facilitating factors for child car seat use, and staff of two ACCHS were interviewed to inform program development.
