Barriers and facilitators for health professionals referring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tobacco smokers to the Quitline.
CONCLUSIONS: Health professionals working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients should be supported to build their skills and confidence to provide referrals to Quitline and other brief cessation interventions. Building capacity for face-to-face support locally would be beneficial where phone support is not preferable. Implications for public health: Engaging with health professionals who work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to increase referrals to Quitline is strategic as it builds on their existing capacity to provide cessation support.

Stroke communication partner training: a national survey of 122 clinicians on current practice patterns and perceived implementation barriers and facilitators.
CONCLUSION & IMPLICATIONS: A significant evidence-practice gap exists. Research exploring the implementation of stroke CPT in healthcare settings, expanding evidence to support CPT for the range of post-stroke communication disorders, developing freely accessible step-by-step CPT programmes that consider restrictions in current practice and providing explicit instructions of CPT best practice are warranted. A supportive workplace culture and freely accessible formal training opportunities are also needed.

Barriers to mental health care for Australian children and adolescents in 1998 and 2013-2014.
CONCLUSION: Perceived unmet need for mental health care for children and adolescents may have decreased between 1998 and 2013-2014, but the gap in receiving sufficient care may have increased. Despite investments in community awareness and treatment during this period, key barriers seemed largely unchanged. For parents, the decrease in self-reliance may reflect a positive shift in beliefs about the potential benefits of treatment.

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of an Australian-adapted Substance Use Treatment Programme (SUTP) among mentally ill offenders in an Australian secure forensic setting. A single-group non-controlled pilot trial was conducted. Four SUTP treatment groups were run simultaneously (n = 39) with sessions held weekly over 12 weeks. Feasibility was assessed by examining attrition, study retention and motivation for treatment, and measures of therapeutic alliance, client satisfaction and qualitative interviews were used to determine acceptability.

A measure of parent engagement: plan appropriateness, partnering, and positive outcome expectancy in pediatric rehabilitation sessions.
CONCLUSIONS: The PRIME-P captures parent engagement as a multifaceted construct involving appropriateness of the therapy plan, a sense of active partnership in the intervention process, and an expectation for a positive outcome. The PRIME-P has promise for research, clinical practice, and educational purposes. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION The PRIME-P is a psychometrically sound tool that fills a gap in how researchers and practitioners can measure the engagement of parents in the therapy process. To enhance parent engagement, service providers can encourage collaboration in planning, foster a sense of working in partner...
