Summary: Despite facing challenges in resettlement, refugee youth in Australia reported enhanced wellbeing through community participation in various domains including education and community organizations. They perceived themselves as agents of change and recognized the transformative role of education and the need for increased employment opportunities. To improve outcomes, integrated refugee resettlement approaches are required which recognize the agency of refugee youth and include them on their own terms.

Summary: The study found that Women of Refugee Background had difficulties in defining resilience, with their endorsed factors not aligning with current Western understandings. Additionally, religious practice, community support, and having a sense of meaning and contribution in daily life were identified as significant factors for coping and wellbeing during resettlement, but were challenging to access in regional resettlement locations.

Summary: This study examines the decisions and reasoning of German adolescents regarding the inclusion of Syrian peers. The findings show that adolescents are more inclined to be inclusive towards Syrian peers and expect their peer group to be as well, with justifications based on morality and social conventions. However, they anticipate their peers to be more inclusive towards German peers, citing group functioning and psychological information as reasons. These findings highlight the importance of interventions that promote inclusive peer group norms.

Summary: Flourishing is a positive health indicator that aligns with strengths-based perspectives and measures within autism research. This study examined the measurement item bias of flourishing indicators in the National Survey of Children's Health and found evidence of lower flourishing outcomes for autistic children compared to non-autistic children, but also measurement bias for items related to social competence dimension, questioning its applicability for autistic children.

Summary: This study examined the factors influencing the psychological wellbeing of refugee-background youth and highlighted the complex relationships between these factors. Family function and discrimination were found to impact youth psychological wellbeing, with the levels of integration and resilience mediating these relationships. Therefore, policies and practices targeting wellbeing can focus on supporting families to positively influence refugee-background young people and mitigate the negative impacts of discrimination.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of home working on the social and mental wellbeing of employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that home working was negatively associated with psychological distress during the second lockdown, but there was no clear association during other periods. This suggests that long-term shifts to home working might not have adverse impacts on population wellbeing in the absence of pandemic restrictions.

Summary: Sibling bullying is prevalent in the lives of autistic adolescents, especially in those who were late-diagnosed, had a shared bedroom, and lived in a low-income household. The study found that sibling bullying in early adolescence significantly predicted reduced self-esteem in mid-adolescence, which in turn predicted poorer mental health and wellbeing in late adolescence. These findings indicate the indirect impact of sibling bullying on mental health in autistic adolescents through a reduction in self-esteem.

Summary: Multiple factors in a school setting can impact the health and wellbeing of youth. School connectedness is positively associated with youth health and wellbeing, while peer bullying is negatively associated with it. However, at higher levels of bullying, school connectedness is no longer associated with health and wellbeing.

Summary: Interpersonal violence among adolescents has devastating impacts on individuals and communities. This study examined the clustering of violence experiences within friendship networks and found that friends' perpetration was associated with individual perpetration, while friends' victimization was associated with higher likelihood of individual victimization. Future research can explore underlying mechanisms and improve prevention initiatives.

Summary: In a world with limited opportunities, social enterprise and community organisations aim to support young people by fostering resilience and entrepreneurial spirit. They provide supportive work and training environments to help young people find passion and hope in an economy that hasn't delivered promised security and wellbeing. These organisations address complex issues such as unemployment, disengagement, homelessness, and housing instability, and offer personal development, support, education, training, and employment options to young people.

Summary: This study explores the longitudinal associations between subjective well-being (SWB) and ethnic identity crisis and perceived discrimination among unaccompanied refugee youth (URY). The results indicate that perceived discrimination negatively predicts SWB, while high levels of SWB lead to decreases in ethnic identity crisis and discrimination. Additionally, increases in SWB correspond to significant decreases in both ethnic identity crisis and discrimination. The study highlights the importance of researching SWB in URY and suggests interventions to strengthen SWB among them should consider their transnational and multicultural realities and experiences.

Summary: The study aimed to improve appropriate care and treatment decisions for older people at the end of life through a prospective feedback loop, but the results were disappointing, showing that the intervention had a negative impact on care review outcomes. This may be due to a combination of intervention design and health system challenges, as well as the complexity of providing more appropriate care at the end of life highlighted by the pandemic.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the bias for statistical significance using published confidence intervals in sport and exercise medicine research. The abstracts of 48,390 articles published in 18 sports and exercise medicine journals between 2002 and 2022 were analyzed. The results revealed a bias for statistical significance and an excess of published research with statistically significant results just below the standard significance threshold of 0.05.

A census revealed that there are 739 advisors nationally, with an overall positive attitude towards the role. However, some advisors lack proper training and institutional support, indicating a need for improvement.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of repeated measures and missing data on the development of clinical deterioration prediction models using electronic medical record data from five Australian hospitals. The results showed that the variability of vital signs and patient consciousness were associated with missing data. Summary statistics and imputation methods improved model discrimination, but the clinical significance of these differences is questionable.

Summary: The study aimed to determine whether excluding gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) based on fasting venous plasma glucose (FVPG) assessment during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 had similar perinatal outcomes compared to excluding GDM using the standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) procedure in the previous year. The results showed that the frequencies of most perinatal outcomes were similar for women without GDM in 2019 and those for whom it was excluded in 2020 based on FVPG values. However, there was an increase in the risk of caesarean delivery in 2020 compared to 2019. The probabilities of several outcomes, such as respiratory distress, neonatal intensive care or special nursery admission, and large for gestational age babies, were slightly higher for women without GDM in 2020 compared to women without GDM in 2019.

Summary: This paper examines the contribution of pilot implementation studies to the wider spread and sustainability of innovation in healthcare systems. Through an empirical examination of an innovation intermediary organization in the English NHS, the study finds that their work in mobilizing pilot-based evidence involves configuring to context, transitioning evidence, and managing the transition. The findings contribute to theory by showing how intermediary roles can support the effective transitioning of pilot-based evidence, leading to more widespread adoption and sustainability of innovation.
