Socio-economic inequality and vaccination inequity have long been critical issues. However, no studies have explored the gap in influenza vaccination uptake between public and private schools. Importantly, the extent to which socio-economic inequality translates into vaccination uptake inequity has not been quantified.
Pneumonia is the leading cause of death in young children globally and is prevalent in the Papua New Guinea highlands. We investigated clinical predictors of hypoxic pneumonia to inform local treatment guidelines in this resource-limited setting.
Winning the support of a remote Aboriginal community paved the way for a pioneering genetics study.
The majority of Australian children exceed the World Health Organization's recommended dietary intake of free sugar, particularly through the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. Front-of-pack nutrition labels increase perceived risk and deter the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages.
An NHMRC grant to develop a program to improve school outcomes in the Ngaanyatjarra lands has helped create books reflecting Aboriginal experiences.
A study by researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia has found Aboriginal mothers are at a significantly greater risk of preventable death than other Australia
Eight The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers are among those who have received grant funding from the Telethon-Perth Children’s Hospital Research Fund (TPCHRF).
Australia's first national diagnostic tool for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) has been developed by researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia and the U
A new project aimed at reducing Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) in the Pilbara has been launched today in South Hedland.
25 year old Noongar woman Tiana Culbong, a The Kids Research Institute Australia researcher, has been named as a finalist in the WA Youth Awards.
Acknowledging the enormous efforts in ear health programs across WA, we invite stakeholders to assist us in establishing research priorities.
Several The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers will share in more than $7.5 million in prestigious Investigator Grants to pursue a range of innovative child health research.
The Kids Research Institute Australia have shown that genetic variations that influence BMI and diabetes are similar to those in non-Aboriginal populations.
The Kids researchers discovered that overcrowding is the strongest predictor of carriage of bacteria that cause otitis media
Following our highly successful Open Space Forums in 2014, The Kids warmly invites you to our next forum on Aboriginal Health.
Three outstanding young researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia have been named Raine Fellows and received valuable Raine Priming Grants to support their child health research.
Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) is a major cause of congenital hypopituitarism and is known to be associated with overweight and obesity in up to 44% of children. Given the role of the hypothalamus in hormonal regulation, we sought to assess the association of resting energy expenditure (REE), appetite and physical activity with SOD.
HIV postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) following child sexual assault (CSA) is recommended in select cases. High rates of poor adherence to PEP are reported. We evaluated adherence to the recommended management of children following CSA at the tertiary pediatric facility in Western Australia and compared our approach with international guidelines.
Nine researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia have secured vital support through the WA Near Miss Awards, allowing them to continue innovative health projects that narrowly missed out on national funding.
Secondary students have the opportunity to hear from Associate Professor Asha Bowen, a 2018 L’Oreal-UNESCO Women in Science Fellow, in a free online event this National Science Week.
