title: Aboriginal and non-aboriginal deaths in custody, Australia, 1980-1989

description: This study is one of several studies conducted for a Royal Commission inquiry into aboriginal deaths in custody. The study aims to provide information on deaths which occurred in police and prison custody throughout Australia in the 1980s, in order to place the phenomenon of aboriginal deaths in custody in the broader context of all deaths in custody during the period. Topics covered include the time, environment and cause of the death, amount of time since the last inspection of the prisoner, responsibility for the death (e.g. suicide, accident), and characteristics of the custody (legal status, number of days in custody, custodial authority). Background variables include age, sex, race (aboriginal or non-aboriginal) and most serious offence of the offender, and geographical location. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, researchers and other users should be aware that material in this dataset may contain material that is considered offensive. The data have been retained because it represents an evidential record of language, beliefs or other cultural situations at a point in time. In line with normal ADA policy, variables (such as postcode) which could possibly be used to identify individuals have been removed or recoded from the public data file. Much of the original data, however, have been made publicy available by other parties, and if researchers would like to access the original data files, they can contact ADA and make a case for gaining access to these data.

title: Self-inflicted harm in custody, Australia, 1989

description: This study is one of several studies conducted for a Royal Commission inquiry into aboriginal deaths in custody. The purpose of the study was to obtain information on self-inflicted harm in custody. The interest was in both attempted suicide (whether the person actually intended to die from the attempt or not) and other forms of self-harm, such as lacerations. It was intended that the information could be used to help develop policies and practices that may reduce the incidence of self-inflicted deaths in custody. Topics covered in the present study include the time, place and form of self-injury, the immediate reaction of custodial staff and subsequent action (e.g. bail to attend hospital, counselling), and the use of alcohol or drugs. Background variables include geographical location and the age, sex, race (aboriginal or nonaboriginal) and most serious offence of the offender. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, researchers and other users should be aware that material in this dataset may contain material that is considered offensive. The data have been retained because it represents an evidential record of language, beliefs or other cultural situations at a point in time.

title: Tans and skin protection in Australian fashion magazines, 1982-1991

description: For some years, public health organisations such as the State Cancer Councils, have been attempting to change the fashion for suntans through information campaigns about the risks of UVR exposure and through efforts to promote the desirability of wearing protective yet fashionable clothing and hats. The aim of the present study was to examine the extent to which skin types and clothing of models in fashion magazines, and the settings in which they are photographed, are consonant with the skin protection objectives of public health organisations. The study surveyed skin types, hat-wearing, type of clothing, skin exposure, and photographic setting in pictures of models in six leading Australian fashion magazines from 1982 to 1991. The name of the magazine, type of picture (advertisement, fashion shot etc), year, sex of model, and race of model were also recorded.

title: Tertiary education for rural and remote area health workers, 1992

description: Rural and remote areas of Australia suffer from inadequate rates of recruitment of health workers and low rates of retention. This may partly be attributed to professional isolation experienced by health workers in these areas, while they require a wide range of professional skills. The aim of this survey was to review current post-secondary education opportunities for rural and remote area health workers. The database would be used to evaluate deficiencies in programs for rural health with particular reference to those involved in areas of alcohol related problems, child abuse, sexual assault and domestic violence. The data set consists of information about post-secondary courses which are available and relevant to rural and remote area health workers. It was designed to be relevant to all types of health workers including medical practitioners, registered and enrolled nurses, aboriginal health workers, counsellors, social workers, pharmacists, dentists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, ambulance personnel, community workers, and other allied health and welfare workers. The data include courses/units specifically orientated to the conditions of health service delivery in rural and remote areas, and courses/units which may be recommended for, or interesting to, rural and remote area health workers. One data file lists each such course, giving details of the institution, contact person, subject, award level, prerequisities, requirements for attendance, and possibilities for part-time or external study. The second data file lists each unit with information about the course title, unit title, year, semester, and course credit. Data not available on Nesstar.

title: Housing and location choice survey, Sydney and Melbourne, 1991

description: The Housing and Location Choice Survey was conducted in response to an invitation from the National Housing Strategy to examine factors related to housing and location access and choice within the Sydney and Melbourne metropolitan areas and to complement a similar study being conducted in Adelaide. Its principal objectives were to: examine the relative importance of factors affecting household decisions about their dwelling including size of house and land, cost, location, and tenure; assess how these factors vary according to various demographic characteristics; explore the trade-offs for options of a range of household types; and identify constraints affecting housing choice. The questionnaire was made up of three parts: the household form; the household member information; and the main questionnaire. The household form recorded information on the number of persons in the household, their age, sex, marital status, country of birth, relationship to household head and school attendance. The household member information section extended this enquiry to cover information for household members aged 15 years and over on their educational and employment status, and how they travelled to work if they were in the paid workforce. The main questionnaire collected housing related information for a number of groups: home owners / buyers; renters; recent movers (within the last 5 years); and intending movers (for the following twelve months). This information encompassed topic areas such as: source of rental accommodation; dwelling type; dwelling sales price and purchase price; reasons for actual housing moves undertaken and intended moves; reasons for choosing the particular area and dwelling; lifestyle changes as a result of any housing moves; compromises made in dwelling choice; importance of home ownership; perceived advantages and disadvantages of home ownership; sources of financial assistance towards house purchase; details on home loans and mortgages; financial assistance to children for home purchase; additions and major repairs to the dwelling; emergency action taken to meet rental or mortgage payments; advantages and disadvantages of public and private rental; and other dwellings owned. A series of questions on the adequacy of the dwelling and its proximity to a range of local services and facilities was also asked. Detailed questions were also asked of all aged 15 or more in the household on annual income levels, and sources of income from a range of government pensions and benefits.

title: Employment and further study of graduates, Sydney, 1990

description: The aim of the study was to examine the activities of graduates from the University of Sydney five years after completion of their degrees. This is the fourth such survey conducted at the University of Sydney since 1969. The studies have been conducted because of their value in providing a better understanding of the career patterns of graduates and to assist the Careers and Appointments Service in its work. The survey asked for details of tertiary or professional courses undertaken since graduation, reasons for undertaking further study, details of employment since graduating, salary in the last year, difficulties in finding the first job after graduating, the respondent's perceptions of the value of his/her degree, requirements of and opportunities in present job, and whether the respondent is seeking a different position. Background variables include age, sex, non-English speaking background, aboriginal background, marital status, number of children, type of high school attended, type of qualification, and whether the respondent was a full-time or part-time student. Graduates who had enrolled as mature age students were also asked how they had entered their course, why they had undertaken the course, whether they had worked during their degree, whether they had obtained the type of work and salary they had hoped for, how difficult they found the study process, and whether they felt that their age or sex had affected their ability to obtain work or their progression at work.

title: Patient satisfaction and participation in the doctor-patient relationship, 1991

description: This study was designed to examine the ability of patients to estimate how long they need to spend with their doctor, and the effect of a patient making such an estimate on his/her satisfaction with the consultation and on participation in the doctor-patient relationship. It was hoped that the study would indicate whether time-estimation by patients would encourage patients to be actively involved in the consultation, and whether it would be a useful tool in general practice. The study involved the development of measurement tools for patient satisfaction and participation. Patients were assigned to three groups: (1) the patient was asked to estimate the time the doctor would need to spend with him/her, and the doctor was informed of the patient's estimate; (2) the patient was asked to estimate the time the doctor would need to spend with him/her, and the doctor was not informed of the patient's estimate; and (3) the patient was not asked for an estimate. The data file indicates to which group the patient was assigned, and gives the patient's responses to 22 questions concerning satisfaction with the consultation, and the doctor's responses to 7 questions about the consultation. The patient questionnaire covered topics such as whether the patient would recommend the doctor to friends, whether the consultation seemed rushed, whether the patient understood the doctor, and whether the patient always sees the same doctor. The doctor questionnaire asked for the doctor's perceptions about whether the doctor and patient had good rapport, and whether the patient seemed motivated about treatment and seemed to understand his/her condition. The patient's age is also recorded in the data file.
