All Australians should be able to breathe clean, safe air. But right now the health impacts of air pollution are increasing while government responsibility for clean air remains fragmented.

🏠🏢 Safe, stable and appropriate housing is not only a basic right, but also a foundation for health. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) recently released their 'Closing the Gap education, employment and housing targets: key findings and implications' report. The report provides compelling evidence that addressing housing conditions, particularly increasing the proportion of people living in appropriately sized (not overcrowded) housing, is fundamental to preventing chronic disease and improving long-term health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. 🎧 In our podcast episode ‘How does housing affect our health?’ Professor Rebecca Bentley discusses the numerous ways in which population health could benefit if housing was improved in Australia. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gGGczfVk Professor Bentley is an epidemiologist from the University of Melbourne’s School of Population and Global Health and director of the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Healthy Housing.
"Strategically translating research for different audiences—building from what already exists to increase impact." 💡 An interesting perspective on how researchers could rethink the value of their work beyond peer-reviewed publications for larger or more diverse audiences. Our Science Communication User Guide could help with practical tips for knowledge mobilisation and science communication 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gtfxRNyH

❔ Could content repurposing make knowledge translation more achievable for researchers? In marketing, there’s a concept called content repurposing—taking one core idea and reshaping it into different formats for different audiences. A blog becomes a podcast, an infographic, a social post, a video. ♻️ Content repurposing helps to position different content to different audiences and maximises the value of a good idea. I wonder if it would be helpful to apply the same thinking to knowledge translation? For researchers who want to increase their impact but feel like they don’t have time to ‘do knowledge translation,’ the concept of 'repurposing' might make engaging in knowledge translation more accessible and doable. Instead of seeing a peer-reviewed article as the end product, we could see it as the starting point—a source of knowledge that can be reshaped into: 🔷 A policy brief 🔷 A webinar 🔷 A social media post 🔷 A visual summary for practitioners 🔷 A teaching resource 🔷 A podcast This isn’t the same as ‘salami slicing’ or inflating outputs. It’s strategically translating research for different audiences—building from what already exists to increase impact. This idea does overlap with knowledge mobilisation and dissemination—but I wonder if repurposing could bring a shift in mindset? It’s about getting more impact from the research we’ve already invested in. 👀 Should we be talking more about repurposing? Or is this just adding more terms to an already crowded knowledge translation space? #ResearchImpact #KnowledgeMobilisation #ResearchTranslation #knowledgetranslation #HigherEd #ScienceCommunication #ResearchEngagement
Congratulations Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) and Deakin University on this amazing initiative. We look forward to working with the centre.
It’s official – we’ve launched our world-leading research translation centre with Deakin University. We were joined by Dr Francesco Branca, the outgoing Director of the Department of Nutrition and Safety at the World Health Organization, who told us that eight million deaths per year are linked to unhealthy diets. Dr Branca spoke about how the commoditisation of food has given rise to ultra-processed foods and hindered food from being “a common good” for everyone to enjoy. We also got to learn more about the work of our five outgoing research fellows. They have improved our understanding on topics like how misleading marketing on some children’s food products trick parents into thinking it is healthy, and the importance of bringing community voices to the food policy table. Their work not only highlighted the need to invest in early career researchers but also cements the need for a research centre like this. We can’t wait to see the research to come out of the centre over the next five years and look forward to seeing research spark real change.
In 12 years of the Prevention Centre, we've learned a lot about how researchers, policy makers and program practitioners work together to achieve outcomes. Nadia Mastersson, GAICD, Head of the Australian Prevention Partnership Centre and Professor Andrew Wilson, Co-Director of the Leeder Centre for Health Policy, Economics and Data School of Public Health, reflected on the lessons learned about nurturing impactful partnerships for chronic disease prevention. https://lnkd.in/giKWkSxQ #PreventiveHealth
#ICYMI We have expanded our Collaboration for Enhanced Research Impact (CERI) to 14 Centres of Research Excellence (CREs). At the start of this year, we welcomed the Centre for Safe Air and the CRE: Violence Perpetration: Profiling, Prediction and Prevention led by Professor tony butler. CERI continues to grow and provide a strong evidence-based voice and united front on issues such as equity, implementation, research capability and making the case for prevention. https://lnkd.in/gMWEQbHb #AirQuality #ViolencePrevention #PreventiveHealth
