ObjectivesGreenspace is one of the important factors that can promote an active lifestyle. Thus, greener surroundings may be a motivating factor for people with newly diagnosed diabetes to engage in more physical activity. Given that diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) may serve as a window opportunity for behavioural modification, we hypothesise that the association between neighbourhood greenspace and physical activity among people with newly diagnosed T2D may be greater than those not diagnosed with T2D. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between access to greenspace and changes in physical activity and sedentary behaviour, and whether these associations differed by T2D.DesignProspective cohort.SettingNew South Wales, Australia.MethodsWe used self-reported information from the New South Wales 45 and Up Study (baseline) and a follow-up study. Information on sitting, walking and moderate to vigorous physical activity was used as outcomes. The proportion of greenspace within 500 m, 1 km and 2 km road network buffers around participant’s residential address was generated as a proxy measure for access to greenspace. The association between the access to greenspace and the outcomes were explored among the newly diagnosed T2D group and those without T2D.ResultsAmong New T2D, although no significant changes were found in the amount of walking with the percentage of greenspace, increasing trends were apparent. There was no significant association between the percentage of greenspace and changes in amount of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Among No T2D, there were no significant associations between the amount of MVPA and walking, and percentage of greenspace. For changes in sitting time, there were no significant associations with percentage of greenspace regardless of buffer size.ConclusionsIn this study, there was no association between access to greenspace at baseline and change in walking, MVPA and sitting time, regardless of T2D status.

Objective: To compare the caries prevalence between Indigenous and non-Indigenous children two to five years of age. Methods: A sample of young Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children from remote New South Wales Australia was recruited. Children with parental consent participated in dental examinations which were undertaken by one calibrated examiner who recorded the decayed, missing and filled teeth/surfaces. Results: 268 children were examined. The decayed missing and filled teeth scores were significantly higher for Aboriginal children (p =<0.01). Most Aboriginal Children examined had decayed teeth (n= 55, 52.4%) unlike non-Aboriginal participants (n = 27, 16.6%). Conclusion: Aboriginal children in remote areas of New South Wales have a significantly higher prevalence of dental caries when compared with their non-Aboriginal peers.

BackgroundIt is preferable that children and adolescents requiring in-patient care for mental health problems are managed in age-appropriate facilities. To achieve this, nine specialist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in-patient units have been commissioned in New South Wales (NSW) since 2002.AimsTo examine trends in child and adolescent in-patient admissions since the opening of these CAMHS units.MethodAnalysis of separation data for under 18-year-olds to CAMHS, adult mental health and paediatric units for the period 2002 to 2013 in NSW, comparing districts with and without specialist CAMHS units.ResultsSeparations from CAMHS, adult and paediatric units rose with time, but there was no interaction between time and health district type (with/without CAMHS unit). Five of eight health districts experienced increased separations of under 18-year-olds from adult units in the year of opening a CAMHS unit. Separations from related paediatric units increased in three of seven health districts.ConclusionsOpening CAMHS units may be followed by a temporary increase in separations of young people from adult units, but it does not influence the flow of patients to non-CAMHS facilities in the longer term.
