There is a dearth of research investigating factors that contribute to GP identification and retention for people with SCD. Furthermore, a GP satisfaction measure developed specifically for people with SCD is non-existent. This preliminary study sought to identify factors contributing to GP identification and retention. A total of 266 people with SCD primarily based in Queensland, Australia, completed a cross-sectional survey that aimed to fill these knowledge gaps. Descriptive statistics and correlational analyses clarified the factors contributing to GP identification and GP retention respectively. An exploratory factor analysis utilising the principal components analysis method clarified a set of items that could underpin key domains for a SCD-specific GP satisfaction measure. The findings confirm that knowledge about SCD, physically accessible services, and trust are seminal considerations aligned with GP identification and retention for people with SCD.

Consequently, this study sought to investigate the dispersion of disability support services for people in localities within Queensland, Australia. Four datasets from two sources were used to establish (i) the geographic dispersion of disability support services in relation to localities within three regional disability level classifications (areas having high, low, or intermediate levels of disability), and (ii) the level of remoteness of localities within the three regional disability level classifications. Two separate hotspot analyses were conducted to ascertain regions with high, low, or intermediate numbers and percentages of people with disability in Queensland. Furthermore, network analyses were conducted to ascertain the travel time among localities within these settings. Finally, inferential analyses using the Kruskal-Wallis test were conducted to ascertain the difference in travel times to disability support services across localities within the three regional disability level classifications, and simple linear regressions were conducted to clarify the association between locality regional disability level classification and remoteness. The findings confirm that localities within areas classified as having low numbers or percentages of people with disability experience significantly higher travel times to all disability support service types: support and advocacy, aids and equipment, and information and referral. The findings also confirm that these localities are associated with having a higher level of remoteness. The study findings suggest that areas with low numbers and percentages of people with disability in Queensland may be lacking proximately available disability support services. Furthermore, the study adds evidence to the notion that people with disability in rural and remote areas may be moving to urban centres to be closer to services.

However, teachers may not receive adequate preparation for such sensitive interventions, as preservice teacher education degrees provide very few or no compulsory courses on child protection and crucially related, lifelong health and well-being issues. So, where do preservice teachers source their information regarding the mandatory reporting of such abuse? This research examines preservice teachers&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39; professional university education for their sources of information about mandatory reporting and child sexual abuse. A sample cohort of 56 final 4th-year university bachelor of education (primary school) student teachers in Australia identified the sources they used regarding 10 important aspects of child protection. The results suggest that most did not learn about mandatory reporting or child sexual abuse, and others cited sparse and sporadic public media as their primary information source. These findings, building on previous evidence about inadequate or nonexistent preservice mandatory intervention courses in primary teacher education, may guide the design of appropriate training responses enhancing educational professionals&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39; knowledge, competencies, skills, and efficacies as mandatory reporters of child sexual abuse.

Eissenberg's (1992) recent arguments in support of associative-learning explanations of colored aftereffects (CAEs) is that the contingencies underlying these effects are not constrained by simple stimulus dimensions, such as contour orientation. Specifically, the authors claim to have generated CAEs contingent on sets of spatiotopic relationships between orientation components of a pattern (as opposed to orientation components per se). The present article illustrates how Siegel et al.'s claims are compromised by their failure to adequately address the role of fixation and eye movements during CAE induction.
