New Content Item

Research: CONSORT-based peer-review tool to detect inadequate reporting in RCTs

In this study, Chauvin et al. show that a two-stage review process of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), with stage one focussing specifically on CONSORT reporting, can not only improve the overall quality of peer-review, but also support training of early career researchers.

New Content Item

Research: In utero mercury exposure and childhood obesity

In a prospective study of 1442 mother-child pairs, maternal blood mercury levels were positively associated with child overweight or obesity from age 2 to 15 years, highlighting the need to screen for mercury and optimize maternal folate status.

Research: Impact of Australia’s alcohol and tobacco control policies on cancer mortality

Specific alcohol and tobacco public health policies implemented in Australia in the 1960s and 1980s, coupled with the resultant changes in drinking and smoking consumption, are associated with reductions in mortality from various cancers in the proceeding 20 years.
