Article Abstract
Background: Postgraduate midwifery student employment models are lacking robust evaluation of how the paid employment model serves as a workforce strategy in Western Australia.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate a paid employment model for postgraduate midwifery students, that was implemented in metropolitan, rural, and regional areas in a Western Australian context.
Methods: A convergent parallel design collected both quantitative and qualitative data. This study used a survey design with quantitative and qualitative questions within a well-established process evaluation framework.
Results: All midwifery students reported benefits of the paid model of employment, which included financial stability while studying and feeling valued by belonging to one institution. Challenges were identified as reduced or lack of exposure to some experiences and heavy workloads.
Conclusion: The postgraduate midwifery students in this study were positive about the introduction of a paid employment model in the public, private and regional / rural hospital settings. The findings reported negatives and benefits for the students, and for the future workforce.

Net present value cost analysis for treating retinitis pigmentosa.
J Med Econ
September 2025
Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC, Titusville, New Jersey.
Objectives: To provide insights into the financial burden and opportunity cost of vision loss from retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in the US by using net present value (NPV) of direct medical and nonmedical costs.
Methods: Assumptions, including economic (discount rate, median income, cost-of-living, Social Security and Medicare taxes, public insurance/supplemental benefits, nutrition assistance, and prescription drug assistance), medical (federal National Health Expenditure tables, a recent retrospective claims analysis, and Optum Health claims database) and demographic (mortality rate, increase in mortality due to visual impairment, progression of blindness, probability of survival, retirement rate, rate of disability, and RP diagnosis probability) were made to develop a NPV model. Scenario analyses were performed on benefits and costs arising from patients with RP, if vision could be preserved via novel gene therapies.
The 'Second Shift' in Emergency Medicine: Strengths and Barriers of the Gendered Double Burden.

Emergency Department, Austin Health, Melbourne, Australia.
The 'double burden' (or 'second shift') describes the workload of people in paid employment who are also responsible for unpaid domestic work. Globally, most of this work is shouldered by women and is often undervalued. For women working in Emergency Medicine, the double burden is likely to have impacts on career progression and leadership opportunities, as well as present challenges around competing demands of a rotating roster and domestic labour.

Yangtze River Institute of International Digital Trade Innovation and Development, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing, China.
This study investigates the impact of transportation infrastructure financed by Chinese aid on child health in 11 sub-Saharan African countries using Demographic and Health Survey data matched with the precise geospatial features of transportation infrastructure. We find that an additional year of exposure to transportation infrastructure significantly increases children's height-for-age z-scores by 0.041 standard deviations and reduces the likelihood of stunting by 1.

Background: The benefits of oral corticosteroid (OCS) stewardship approaches -including monoclonal antibody treatments for severe asthma- on reducing toxic OCS exposure and related comorbidities such as depression and anxiety require real-world evaluation.
Methods: This real-world observational study investigated OCS exposure and associated complications over 24 months in patients enrolled in the Australian Mepolizumab Registry (n = 412).
Results: Patients were median age 59 years, 58 % were female.
