Towards Evidence-based Adoption And Scale-up Of Cost-saving Primary Health Care Innovations
Funder

Funding Amount
$408,768.00
Summary
What innovations like service integration, care coordination and information technology (e.g. text message reminders, remote video consultations, remote monitoring) have in common is that they alter the patient-provider interface, more reliably and consistently than improving clinical outcomes. So, to determine their true costs and benefits, how to select among them and how to scale them up, this research program will assess them based on measures of how they alter patient-provider transactions.
Improving The Healthiness Of The Foods In Australian Supermarkets

Funding Amount
$318,768.00
Summary
This project proposes to better understand the role of supermarkets on influencing the healthiness of the food supply. Three studies are planned which evaluate the evidence for the effect of supermarket standards on the food supply, determine whether providing nutritional data to a supermarket can change the healthiness of their food products, and identify factors that influence the development and use of supermarket standards to improve their foods.
The Femoroacetabular Impingement Rehabilitation STudy (FIRST): A Participant And Assessor-blinded Randomised Controlled Trial Of Physiotherapy For Hip Impingement.
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$255,014.00
Summary
Hip impingement is a common cause of hip and groin pain in adults. It is a risk factor for the development of hip arthritis and hip replacement surgery in later life. People with hip impingement have more pain and poorer quality of life (QoL) compared to population norms. This study will determine if physiotherapy can improve pain/QoL in people with hip impingement.
