Research Themes
Stuart can be best described as a research generalist rather than a specialist. His research interest are considerably diverse but are underpinned by the concepts of community and community health. Stuart has an extensive history of working with rural and regional communities as such he understands the value that community play in shaping and informing current and future research needs. Stuart has extensive networks within Tasmanian rural communities, these networks have proven to be pivotal in designing research interventions that are both relevant and timely for the target communities.
Whilst the specific research topics that Stuart has undertaken are quite broad, all relate to the social determinants of health. Stuart believes further research into the impact of the SDoH on the health of rural communities is an important approach to addressing the inequities between the health of rural and urban populations.
One of the main research skills that Stuart brings to the communities in which he works is that of action research. In particular, undertaking community health needs assessments (CHNA). Community health needs assessments draw on a range of research methodologies, both qualitative and quantitative together with knowledge of the economic, social and cultural landscapes of target communities to inform future health policy planning around health service delivery. It is these research opportunities that enable him to utilise his skills and knowledge of participation methodologies such as program logic, world café and focus groups.
In addition to undertaking research with communities Stuart has particular skills in the evaluation of community based research initiatives. Much of this evaluative work is around small to medium size research activities that are commissioned or undertaken by the not for profit sector. The evaluative studies have provided an opportunity to gather rich data from the research which Stuart has used as the basis for his publication outputs.
Collaboration
Prior to commencing employment at UTas Stuart managed a successful collaboration with Rural Industries Research Development Corporation (RIRDC) in the design and delivery of a drought preparedness research project for Tasmanian Farmers.
Since commencing employment with UTas most of Stuarts research work has been undertaken in collaboration with a range of State or National institutes and companies. Examples of these collaboration include a collaborative research project with the Australian Institute for Farmer Health, investigating the health of dairy farmer families in the Circular Head region of NW Tasmania.
Stuart has also collaborated with staff at Health Impact Connect (Uni NSW) in establishing a Health Impact Assessment Team in Tasmania which looked at applying a HIA approach to population health projects.
At a State level Stuart has undertaken numerous research collaborations with non-government organisations such as Anglicare, the Heart Foundation and the St Vincent De Paul Society as well as State Government departments and municipal councils.
Current projects
The Healthy Food Access Tasmania project seeks to make healthy food choices easy choices by ensuring that fresh foods (preferably locally grown) are readily available across Tasmania. The project will contribute towards addressing this important health, economic and social objective over the next three years. The project will be led by the Heart Foundation with the University of Tasmania as a key project partner. The project design has been informed by the recent research by the Tasmanian Food Access Research Coalition and the state level Food For All Tasmanians Strategy.
Community Conversations Consultations
The CCC project is aimed at enhancing the capacity, through the provision of support and training activities, of Rural Primary Health Service Organisations (RPHS), service providers and the broader community to undertake community profiling activities which will help inform community knowledge and build an understanding of health service gaps and priority needs within the target communities.
Evaluation of the St Vincent De Paul Fresh Start Literacy Program
Fresh Start is a financial literacy program which aims to address the important role financial literacy plays in enabling people to dramatically improve their financial situation and ultimately their lives.

Agricultural Innovation Hubs Program (2022 - 2023)$2,499,999
- Description
- The University of Tasmania hosts one of eight Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hubs established across Australia under the Commonwealth's Future Drought Fund. Hubs are intended to be enduring institutions. The current proposal is about the Commonwealth's call to expand the Hubs' remit to service four priority areas under the National Agricultural Innovation Agenda. If funded, the Hub in Tasmania will need to operate under two agreements: the current agreement for the 'Drought Hub' and a new agreement that is about developing the Hub's pathway to expansion, while continuing to deliver to the 'Drought Hub' under the current agreement. This proposal presents the Hub's Statement of Claims on its ability and commitment to deliver practical activities and a business case that supports the National Agricultural Innovation Agenda

Carefarming as a Rural Mental Health Prevention Strategy: Evaluation of the Grumpy Goat Farm's Veteran Community Connections and Wellbeing Program (2022)$3,173
- Description
- This project evaluates the processes, outcomes and impacts of a new carefarm-based mental health program in rural Tasmania over 18 months. The program aims to increase community connection, wellbeing, confidence and self-determination within the Veteran community of Smithton, utilising canine assistance dog training and other care-farm based methods. The program strives to prevent long term mental health problems and ultimately decrease the risk of suicide in this cohort.This research project aims to establish the enablers and barriers to the carefarm-based mental health intervention, and to explore the benefits to mental health for participants. It will produce academic outputs (journal article and conference presentation) as well as translation of findings into a community-sector 'best practice principles' guide.Carefarming is a well-established practice in Europe and North America, and a rapidly emerging one in Australia. The growing field of carefarming scholarship demonstrates empirical evidence of a range of physical and mental health benefits from the various models of carefarming across the world (Cacciatore et al 2020). Australia's returned Veterans have higher rates of complex trauma, mental ill health and suicide. People living in rural areas have additional risk factors, including isolation and reduced access to services. Tasmania has among the highest rates of suicide in the country, with rates three times higher for men. In the predominately rural and remote areas of North-West Tasmania a number of barriers continue to influence whether Veterans, who are predominantly men, at-risk of mental ill health or suicide, access supports or services. These include distance, time, cost, and availability of health professionals, stigma and traditional values associated with stoicism and masculinity. Up to three out of four people in these areas are not accessing mental health services, suggesting that alternative, community-led approaches are needed, building the capacity of both individuals to take control of their own health, and communities to support one another.The carefarm based program under evaluation is delivered by the Grumpy Goat Care Farm in Smithton, North-West Tasmania. Through their Care Dogs and Co service, they provide opportunities to train canine assisted therapy dogs for Veterans at risk in the local areas. Canine assistance programs or models have become popular in Australia, building on the philosophy of dogs providing structure, purpose, and support for people at risk of mental ill health (https://www.minddog.org.au/).A FRRR grant of approx. $20,000 has been secured by the auspice partner, the Smithton RSL, through the 'In a Good Place' scheme, $3,173 of which is allocated for evaluation.The interpretive, mixed methods research design will include methods of surveying and in-depth interviewing with participants and stakeholders, at various points in the program life. The specific evaluation details and methods will be co-designed with the Grumpy Goat Farm and Smithton RSL, who are supportive of the evaluation and keen to collaborate with the CRH to achieve the outcomes.This program evaluation is part of a wider body of work currently under way at the CRH, researching various outdoor health care models to improve rural health outcomes. The carefarm model at Grumpy Goat seeks to provide an alternative form of mental health support for people experiencing barriers to accessing mainstream help services. They utilise local community resources , including local community services and allied health, nurses, counsellors and social workers, to reach community members at risk of suicide and other mental health problems.

Evaluation of the King Island Community Capacity Building initiative: Foundations to Flourish (2019)$10,000
- Description
- This study has been initiated as part of a research consultancy project by the Institute of Positive Education, Geelong Grammar School. The Institute of Positive Education is a ground-breaking initiative by Geelong Grammar, dedicated to improving student and staff wellbeing. The Institute has the dual purpose of nurturing the development of Positive Education at the School, and assisting the growth of Positive Education throughout Australia and the world. The Foundations to Flourish program has traditionally targeted the education sector. The proposal provides an opportunity to take the program outside a school environment and assess its suitability within the community sector. The client has invited the UTAS investigators to conduct an evaluation of their 'Foundations to Flourish' program and report on the outcomes. Foundations to Flourish is focused on building on the strengths of the rural, regional community of King Island to foster wellbeing through education, awareness and practice of positive education. The outcomes the client wishes to measure include the perceived cohesion of the community, how valued they feel as community members and where they find a sense of belonging. The aim of this study is to examine whether the Foundations to Flourish program will lead to better wellbeing within a rural, regional community. King Island's small population of 1585 residents (ABS, 2016) provides an ideal opportunity to pilot the Foundations to Flourish initiative and evaluate the effect of a program focused on the above two objectives. As there is an intention to modify the program in light of the outcomes of the research and then implement a revised version in other communities, it is important that a thorough evaluation be conducted.

Kentish Local Government Area Community Learning Plan (2016)$19,999
- Description
- In 2014, the Kentish Council commissioned the University of Tasmania to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) of the Kentish Local Government Area (LGA). The findings from the CHNA were used to develop a Framework for Action to guide the service level response to improving the health of the community in the medium term.One of the impact areas identified in the Framework for Action is education and employment. Education was identified as a priority focus area as it is a mechanism to improve the general health of the community. Educational attainment is one of the areas of the social determinants of health, as there is a strong positive correlation between educational attainment and an individual's health outcomes. To this end the Kentish Council secured funding for a project based on the development of the Kentish Local Government Area Community Learning Plan. The project aims to undertake a place based approach to building community capacity through partnerships, collaboration and additional resources attainment to; provide greater educational opportunities across the lifespan; lift education attainment levels; and create a lifelong learning culture within the Kentish local government area.The scope of the required work includes validation of, and building upon, existing data sources relating to the social determinants of health at the local level together with an extensive community consultation and engagement process to build community capacity both within and outside local education providers.The project is inclusive of all sectors within the local community rather than just the education sector. On this basis, the CLP will engage representatives from various sectors which impact on the education of the community including local education providers, council, social services as well as engaging with, where possible, traditionally 'difficult to access' groups such as young people, older residents and cultural groups.

Healthy Eating Resilience Network Mapping Project (2016)$29,500
- Description
- This project will evaluate the nature and type of social-networks and relationships that have emerged in Tasmanian communities as a result of funding provided by the Healthy Food Access Tasmania (HFAT) which has previously received ethics approval (Ethics H0013600, H0014167) for 2 milestones completed under the 'umbrella' of HFAT. Specifically, this project will focus on the nature and types of social-networks and relationships that have been established across a variety of smaller community food projects that are being delivered concurrently across Tasmania. A majority of these smaller projects have been funded by Primary Health Tasmania (PHT) whilst others have been funded by the Tasmanian State Government. Interesting to note is that some of these smaller projects have been built upon previous funding initiative such as Food For All Tasmanians (TFSC, 2012), which was undertaken to address community/ household level food insecurity.The relationship between these smaller projects is not well documented and currently is only identified superficially through existing project evaluations.This project therefore seeks to:1)To determine the types of networks and relationships that have resulted from the funding and activity in the community by determining which organisations are the 'connectors and which are the 'influencers'.2)To determine the strength of the relationships between and within organisations.3)To determine whether the programs and initiatives are working together as a 'system' using the resilience framework.4)To determine which projects have partnered or collaborated with each other.5)To determine which projects promote each other's objectives and programs.

- Description
- Findings from a community wide health needs assessment conducted in the Kentish municipality in 2014 identified education and, more specifically, life-long learning as a priority focus area to improve the general health of the community. In January 2016, the Kentish Municipal Council commissioned the University of Tasmania to develop a community Learning Plan (CLP) and associated strategies to identify and engage the community in opportunities for life-long learning. The project was completed at the end of May 2014 with the presentation of a draft plan to the Kentish Council. Subsequent to the presentation of the CLP additional funding was made available to provide support for the development and delivery of appropriate community consultation processes and governance structures to support the implementation of key strategies as identified within the Kentish CLP.

Social determinants of Health: Bridges Out of Poverty Evaluation (2015 - 2016)$50,000
- Description
- The Social Determinants of Health: Bridges Out of Poverty Evaluation is part of the workforce capacity building strategy for the Social Determinants of Health project. Specifically the evaluation relates to the roll out of seven Bridges Out of Poverty workshops across Tasmania.Bridges Out of Poverty workshops analyse poverty through the lens of class. The workshops targeted practitioners in health, community and education sectors to provide them with an understanding of intergenerational poverty and its impacts on families and individuals. The workshops provide practical tools and approaches designed to optimise outcomes for clients and thereby improve both health equity, health access and health service delivery. In May 2013 Primary Health Tasmania commissioned Social Solutions to deliver seven workshops across Tasmania. Almost 1000 participants have attended the workshops since May 2013. Whilst feedback has been received from participants from five of the workshops, the information provided through the brief feedback forms was limited and was inconclusive in determining the extent to which the workshops were able to develop and support workforce and community capacity to address the Social Determinants of Health in Tasmania. To this end Primary Health Tasmania have commissioned an evaluation aimed at assessing the process, impact and outcomes of the Bridges out of Poverty Workshops specifically in relation to improving:*Understanding of the cultural issues impacting on poverty*The capability of practitioners who support people impacted by intergenerational poverty*Service delivery aimed at supporting people impacted by intergenerational poverty. The evaluation will be conducted over 6 months concluding at the end of March 2016. The evaluation will adopt a mixed methodology approach incorporating elements of both the Most Significant Change and thematic analysis approaches.

Assessment of Vinnies Tasmania Retail Outlets (2014)$11,955
- Description
- The proposed research project is aimed at collecting evidence about the customers who purchase goods from their shops including, demographic information of customers, access factors, why customers choose to shop at Vinnies, the quality of the shopping experience, their views about stock on sale at the shops, how the retail outlet program contributes to their health and wellbeing and other ways in which the program may or may not benefit the broader community. The focus of the methodology is on the richness and depth rather than the breadth of information, and for this reason data will be collected through participatory and qualitative research methods such as interviews and focus groups. A stratified sample of customers at a randomised selection of Vinnies retail outlets (n=16) situated in rural, regional and peri-urban locations will be invited to participate in a brief interview or attend a focus group. The aim of the interviews/focus groups is to gather qualitative information about the Vinnies retail outlet program as seen through the eyes of people accessing the shops. The main purpose of the participatory and qualitative research is to provide an in depth understanding of the customer's views and behaviours regarding issues central to the purpose of the research.

Research Supervision
Stuart has successfully co-supervised several HDR candidates to completion including an Honours project examining community food systems and a Masters student researching strategies used by rural women with postnatal depression.
Stuart looks forward to supervising more HDR students in the future and is particularly interested in supervising students who are research issues around rural community development and social determinants of health. In particular Stuart is looking for students with an interest in researching aspects of community and community change within a socio-ecological context.
