A/Prof Seana Gall is an epidemiologist that studies the risk factors and outcomes for heart disease and strokes.

As a cardiovascular epidemiologist, she works with large sets of data and looks for answers to important questions like: what is the frequency of a particular disease and how is that frequency changing over time? Are there groups within the population that suffer higher rates of the disease? What are the factors that make these diseases more or less likely? And what are the factors that affect the outcomes of treatment? She is currently leading Australia’s first research program dedicated to stroke prevention – Synergies to Prevent Stroke (STOPstroke) – funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council’s Synergy Grant program for $5 million over 5 years.

One area of A/Prof Gall’s research is to examine the factors that put certain groups within the population at a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Overall, statistics have shown a gradual decline in the incidence of stroke and heart disease. However, among some groups such as young people and women, this trend has levelled off in recent years and even shifted into reverse.

‘Understanding the factors driving these trends will allow us to develop better approaches to disease prevention,’ A/Prof Gall says. ‘This might include better and more targeted education about the risk factorsand designing more effective programs or policies for early intervention to prevent strokes and heart disease.’

In her research, A/Prof Gall draws on several large cohort studies. This includes the Childhood Determinants of Adult Health study (CDAH) – an Australia-wide study that follows up on people first assessed when they were at school in 1985. ‘The CDAH study allows us to take a life-course approach and investigate the importance of childhood factors in the later development of risk factors for heart disease and stroke, factors like weight, diet, physical activity and smoking.

‘As an epidemiologist, I find Tasmania is a particularly good place to do this kind of work,’ A/Prof Gall says. ‘Being an island state means it is easier to keep track of people over the course of a long-term study. Also, unfortunately, some of the risk factors we are studying are particularly prevalent in Tasmania.’

A second area of A/Prof Gall’s research investigates ways to improve the management of cardiovascular diseases once they develop. In one project, she studies a type of stroke known as aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage which, while relatively rare, proves fatal in about 40 per cent of cases within one month of the stroke occurring.

‘There are effective methods for treating aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage, but some evidence indicates that the sooner these treatments begin after the symptoms appear, the more effective they are. We currently do not know what the optimal time for treatment is for this type of stroke.’

With her research partners at Monash Health, Monash University, Ambulance Tasmania, and Ambulance Victoria, A/Prof Gall is working across Tasmania and Victoria to build the evidence for this link between time to treatment and health outcomes for the patient.

The project also collects information from patients and the various players in the health sector, including the ambulance services, to understand the factors that affect the time taken before treatment – in other words, the bottlenecks. These factors may include where the patient lives, the availability of staff, and transfer times to a facility where treatment can begin.

‘This kind of mixed-method research involving multidisciplinary teams allows us to look at the issues from different perspectives. Based on our findings, we will work with clinicians and administrators to develop a clinical pathway – a streamlined system for people to move more rapidly through the healthcare system to treatment.’

A/Prof Gall’s wide expertise has seen her appointed to several public health bodies. She chairs the Tobacco Control Coalition – a Tasmanian government initiative that also involves NGOs – that is responsible for developing the state’s tobacco control plan, including setting goals and priorities, developing plans and overseeing the implementation of those plans. She also chairs Stroke Foundation’s Health Promotion Advisory Committee which develops stroke-specific preventive resources.

A/Prof Gall is a senior research fellow in cardiovascular epidemiology at the Menzies Research Institute Tasmania. She is currently funded by a prestigious National Heart Foundation of Australia Future Leader Fellowship. Her research focuses on cardiovascular disease across the life course, including the childhood determinants of adult stroke and heart disease and outcomes after cardiovascular disease. She is actively involved in public health advocacy and is the current chair of the Tasmanian Government's Tobacco Control Coalition and Stroke Foundation Health Promotion Advisory Committee.

Research Themes

Dr Gall's research is in the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease such as heart disease and stroke, which falls within the University's research theme of Better Health. Epidemiology originated with the investigation of epidemics of infectious disease but modern epidemiology encompasses studying the distribution and determinants of disease in populations. Dr Gall is particularly interested in the epidemiology of cardiovascular diseases across the life course. That is, she examines things that might cause disease over long periods of time, such as from childhood to adulthood.

Much of her research has been conducted on a unique longitudinal study called the Childhood Determinants of Adult Health (CDAH) study. This study began in 1985 with a nation-wide assessment of the health and fitness of 8,500 school children all around Australia. When these children reached their 20s, they were followed up in health clinics all around Australia to gather information on their cardiovascular health and health behaviours. Within this study, Dr Gall has shown the detrimental effects of exposure to parental smoking in childhood on offspring smoking and their vascular health; the positive effect that upward educational mobility can have on healthy lifestyle and the links between healthy lifestyles and cardiovascular risk factors in young adults.

At the other end of the age spectrum, Dr Gall is interested in understanding the influences on outcomes after suffering a cardiovascular event, particularly stroke. Her work in this area has mostly used data from Australia's longest running study of stroke, the North East Melbourne Stroke Incidence Study (NEMESIS) that is coordinated by researchers at Monash University in Melbourne. Dr Gall's research has revealed that management of risk factors after stroke is in many cases sub-optimal with high levels of untreated hypertension, low levels of smoking cessation and limited treatment of depression with medications. She is particularly interested in the differences between recovery after stroke in men and women and is coordinating an international collaboration that is bringing together data on over 10,000 people with stroke including their levels of survival, disability and quality of life up to 5 years after their stroke.

Collaboration

Dr Gall works on a range of research projects in Tasmania, nationally and internationally. Current collaborative projects include:

The role of school engagement in adult health and wellbeing

Dr Gall is lead investigator for this interdisciplinary collaboration of epidemiologists, health psychologists (Drs Benjamin and Natalie Schuz, UTAS), psychiatrists (Prof George Patton, Uni Melb) and educational sociologists (Prof Joan Abbott-Chapman, UTAS) to examine the role of school engagement on later health using data from the Childhood Determinants of Adult Health Study.

Non-communicable disease surveillance in Viet Nam

Dr Gall is a co-investigator on this major international project funded by The Atlantic Philanthropies (USD 2.5 million) that comprised a national risk factor survey and stroke registries. The study team included A/Prof Leigh Blizzard (UTAS), A/Prof Velandai Srikanth and Prof Amanda Thrift (Monash) and local experts from the Minstry of Health and Pham Ngoc Thach Medical University.

Sex differences in long term outcome after stroke

Dr Gall established this individual data pooling study comprising 13 of the 18 stroke incidence studies with long term outcome data worldwide (~8,000 strokes). Collaborators include Amanda Thrift (Monash Uni), Mathew Reeves (Michigan State University), Dominique Cadilhac (Monash University).

Love Your Brain: A stroke prevention digital platform (2023)$944,782

Description: Stroke is common with an estimated 1 in 4 people having a stroke in their lifetime. Prevention of stroke is a priority for the Australian public due to high levels of stroke risk factors, inadequate existing primary prevention strategies, and identification of prevention of stroke as a priority by stakeholders. There is also growing demand for information about how to prevent stroke in the community given the large number of people living with stroke or who are at high risk of stroke. The proposed digital platform aims to reduce the burden of stroke across Australia by harnessing the power of digital health to help people identify and manage their risk factors for stroke. The proposed platform will leverage the existing Stroke Foundation StrokeSafe program. The proposed platform has two components informed by evidence - the online, structured health education program and the iVERVE text messaging system including goal-directed short messages on risk factor management. Systematic review found that digital health interventions appear to have small but significant effects of cardiovascular risk factors. There is a need for further studies with rigorous designs, objectively measured outcomes and examination of cost-effectiveness. The outcomes of research project will include: - co-designed digital platform which will include an online course and the health messages that will build on StrokeSafe and other programs (i.e. iVERVE) to inform the design. - assessment of outcomes of participants in a 3-arm trial (control; online course and health messages interventions) to improve general practitioner attendance for risk factor management and knowledge of risk factors and appropriate behaviour in the community.

Generating new evidence to BEtter guide long-term mAnagemenT of Stroke for Tasmanians (BEATStrokeTas) (2022)$3,000

Description: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in Australia. Tasmania has the second-highest incidence and mortality rates of stroke. One of the greatest opportunities to reduce preventable death and disability is to ensure access to treatment as recommended in clinical guidelines; however, treatment and care in Tasmania lag far behind the rest of Australia. There are likely to be modifiable drivers, at the individual and hospital level, that contribute to the variations in care and patient outcomes. Our aims are to examine health inequalities related to continuum of care and their impacts on patient outcomes up to 1 year after stroke for Tasmania, compared to other states, by: 1) investigating the individual-level factors contributing to variations in care and patient outcomes, 2) identifying hospital-level factors contributing to the quality of care, including in-hospital, rehabilitation and after discharge, and patient outcomes. Research plan: Participants will be hospitalised patients with stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) in Tasmania registered in the AuSCR between 2012-2019 (~n=3,000). Additional information on clinical, neuroimaging indicators and processes of care will be extracted from medical records from a sample of ~800 patients hospitalised with stroke/TIA between 2020-2021. Then the same patients will be sent a follow-up assessment to ascertain HRQoL and functional outcome at 1 year after stroke via mail and telephone surveys. Significance and expected outcomes: Our research findings will provide new, robust evidence for improved clinical practice and policy development through identification of Tasmanians at risk for suboptimal care and poorer long-term outcomes after stroke, and evaluation of the quality of clinical care for acute stroke in the hospital and beyond the acute care settings. By understanding the continuum of stroke care, the research will enable us to identify specific areas of health inequalities in care and outcomes that can be modified and to provide better targets for interventional strategies, at patient and health system level, to mitigate these inequalities and better management of stroke for Tasmania.

Evaluation of StOP - a support program for better awareness and management of stroke risk factors after discharge in Tasmania (2022)$24,969

Description: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in Australia. Nearly 90% of survivors of stroke report unmet needs nationally, particularly in terms of risk factor management. About 11,000 Tasmanians are living with the effects of stroke. Tasmania has the highest incidence of stroke with >3,300 people having a stroke and 1,000 people dying from the disease each year. Stroke care after discharge in Tasmania lags behind the rest of Australia with 66% of people not receiving a care plan (vs national: 31%) and 43% not receiving the information they need to manage their risk factors and navigate life after stroke (vs national: 28%). Recognising the levels of unmet needs among stroke survivors in Tasmania, the Stroke Foundation developed a telephone-based support program in 2019 - Stroke Outreach Program (StOP). The aim of the StOP is to ensure that survivors of stroke and their families are connected with services and information they need to support their physical, mental and social health after stroke. Our overarching objective is to evaluate the StOP to further develop and optimise the program. This proposed project will use quantitative (data linkage, online survey) and qualitative (in-depth interview) methods. The specific aims are to examine 1) the characteristics and 90-day outcomes (readmissions; recurrent stroke; quality of life) among people referred to the StOP program compared to those that are not; and 2) satisfaction, perceived benefits and harms, and suggestions for service improvement among survivors of stroke and health professionals associated with the StOP.

Synergies TO Prevent stroke - STOPstroke (2020 - 2024)$5,000,000

Description: Most risk factors for stroke are known and >80% of strokes can be prevented by simple lifestyle change and adherence to prevention medication. This is sub-optimally achieved, with modest detection of those at risk. While new breakthroughs can help, the greatest gains can be made by implementing recommended care.Each component of our application targets current gaps. THEME 1 will identify the best groups to target for prevention, and the optimal timing for prevention strategies, capitalising on the resources available to us. THEME 2 will test novel interventions aimed at motivating lifestyle changes and adherence to medications using technology and health service innovations. THEME 3 underpins the program by establishing national infrastructure to monitor the impact of new interventions. We can do this as members of the team are strategically placed to influence policy, guidelines, and practice for stroke.Unquestionably each component of the program would result in productive outcomes individually, but the real value lies in the collaborative gain that can be achieved through this interdisciplinary proposal. Our synergies include our complementary expertise in critical components of our program, and our state, national and international networks. Our overarching strategy is to be responsive to the outcomes of early work in the program and focus on the areas that show the most promise. This will ensure that we achieve outcomes with the greatest public health benefit.Funding of this international leading program will deliver major advances in preventing stroke and other vascular disease in Australia and overseas. Our approach, which covers diverse populations, is crucial to make major advances in preventing stroke.

REDucing Delays In aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage: the REDDISH study (2018 - 2020)$436,023

Description: Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) is a rare form of stroke that kills up to 40% of sufferers within 1 month. Outcome can be improved through quickly receiving medical care but many people do not and this likely contributes to the poor outcomes. The REDucing Delays In Subarachnoid Haemorrhage (REDDISH) study will look at cases of aSAH across Tasmanian and Victoria so that we can understand the factors that contribute to delays in treatment and ultimately improve outcomes.

CArdiac REhabilitation for the Secondary prevention of Stroke (CARESS) (2018)$10,000

Description: Most strokes are caused by common modifiable risk factors including hypertension, smoking, overweight and physical inactivity. The management of these risk factors is paramount for reducing likelihood of further cardiovascular events. Current treatment guidelines state that a general practitioner should manage the prevention of another stroke. Our own research shows that the management of risk factors is currently suboptimal, with few stroke survivors having well controlled hypertension, many continuing to smoke, most being inactive and many having suboptimal pharmacotherapies.Our overall aim is to improve the secondary prevention of cardiovascular events in people who have suffered stroke through the use of an adapted cardiac rehabilitation program. These programs are known to reduce recurrent cardiac events in a cost-effective way. The aims of this particular study are to:1. Adapt the current Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) cardiac rehabilitation program for use in stroke patients by observing and mapping the current program and holding a workshop with stroke clinicians, nurses and rehabilitation specialists, as well as stroke survivors and their carers to adapt the program to their needs; 2. Run a pilot of the adapted cardiac rehabilitation program in a group of stroke patients to examine its feasibility, acceptability and effect on cardiovascular risk factors and health-related quality of life.

Exposure to passive smoke in Tasmanian children: determinants, outcomes and changes over time (2018)$24,620

Description: There are two unique datasets available within Tasmania that provide us with an opportunity be better understand the causes and consequences of passive smoking among children - the Tasmanian Infant Health Study (TIHS) and the Conception to Community (C2C) study. The TIHS began in the late 1980s to investigate the causes of sudden infant death syndrome. The study involved recruitment of mothers while they were pregnant gathering extensive data on passive smoke exposure from mothers and fathers. The babies that were born in this study have been followed up several times during their life and are now aged 27 years. The C2C study includes all births among Tasmanian women from 2008 to 2014 with an expected total number of participants being more than 35,000. This study uses data linkage of health and other administrative records from mothers and babies from gestation through to early life providing a comprehensive picture of health and development. These two datasets offer a unique opportunity to examine passive smoke exposure among Tasmanian infants and children including prevalence of exposure, changes in exposure and health effects of exposure. This project will analyse data from these project to address gaps in our understanding of passive smoke exposure in children.

Promoting Health Literacy in Tasmanian Primary Schools - Evaluating the HealthLit4Kids pilot study. (2017)$9,912

Description: Preventative health project, empowering teachers and students to explore, discuss, design and share resources capable of improving Health/Literacy of Tasmanian school children and their families.The HealthLit4Kids pilot study has been designed and run by the Lead researchers during 2017 in Blackman's Bay Primary School, Tasmania, as part of a planned mixed method, multi-stage project. Health literacy is the ability to access, understand and apply information about healthy lifestyle choices that influence health behaviours and outcomes throughout the life course. Tasmania has low rates of literacy and health literacy; morbidity and mortality statistics are some of the worst in Australia. Therefore promoting and developing Health Literacy at the primary school level is of the utmost importance. This is best done through research partnerships with schools, teachers, parents and community organisations. This project has so far been resourced and supported by the lead researchers, school principal and teachers and a number of local community organisations. Following preparatory teacher workshops a comprehensive School Action Plan was developed. Innovative classroom teaching took place during July, August and September in all year grades, on a variety of Health Literacy topics related the Australian National Curriculum, Health and Physical Education. These classroom activities aimed to introduce to children culturally, socially and age group relevant Health Literacy concepts and their practical applications. Qualitative evidence of students' engagement and learning outcomes will be evaluated by teachers and researchers during a Health Literacy competition to be held 24 September to 4 October. Now CCS funding is sought for a paid Research Assistant who is needed in order to help the expanded research team analyse data already gathered and planned, including a parents' survey, focus group and final teacher workshop. Lessons learned about effective Health Literacy teaching strategies and resources modelled in the pilot need to be critically examined, analysed and documented in preparation for a broader project to be conducted in other primary schools in 2018, pending external grant funding.

Cardiometabolic risk trajectories from childhood to midlife: finding pathways to better health (2017 - 2020)$1,531,986

Description: Using data from a large cohort of Australian children followed for over 30 years, this study will investigate how weight status and physical fitness from childhood to adulthood determine early markers of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes (cardiometabolic disease) in midlife. It will provide much needed evidence to address the high prevalence of cardiometabolic disease risk factors in young Australians through better targeted disease prevention and early clinical intervention strategies.

Understanding cardiovascular disease across the life course (2015 - 2018)$448,000

Description: The project presents a series of epidemiological studies that aim to improve the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease in understudied populations including young adults, women and those with atrial fibrillation. The studies fall under two themes: 1) Understanding the determinants of cardiovascular health in young adults; and 2) Improving outcome for those who suffer cardiovascular disease. Theme 1 focuses on factors that modify the association between childhood risk factors and cardiovascular health in young adults, including passive smoking, family history of cardiovascular disease and social disadvantage. Data are from the few longitudinal studies worldwide with information on cardiovascular health from childhood to adulthood. Theme 2 aims to improve outcomes of cardiovascular disease. One study will identify the factors contributing to poor outcomes after stroke for women using an innovative study that brings together data on over 8,000 strokes across Australasia, Europe, South America and the USA. The final study will use data from the first register of the management and outcomes of atrial fibrillation in Australia, again focusing on how to make outcomes more equal for men and women. The research is important because the groups to be studied are predicted to carry an increasing burden of cardiovascular disease in the future and this research will inform new ways to prevent and manage these diseases thereby reducing their burden.
