4 Overview The Lifestyle Research Centre (LRC) was established in 2013 to foster multidisciplinary research relating to lifestyle, health and wellbeing. The LRC brings together academics from the various Faculties at Avondale College of Higher Education and collaborating researchers from other Australian and International institutions who are passionate about investigating the role of a positive lifestyle in the promotion of health and wellbeing. The aim of the LRC is to be a world-leading lifestyle research centre. Lifestyle Research Centre, Lake M Campus. LRC motto: Optimising health outcomes The LRC has three broad research domains: 1. Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP) 2. Healthcare Associated Infections 3. Holistic Health and Wellbeing/ Sub domains including: Live More Nutrition Resilience and Trauma Brain Injury Medical humanities Lifestyle medicine LRC Director: Professor Brett Mitchell. brett.mitchell@avondale.edu.au LRC Board: Professor Brett Mitchell, A/Professor Rob McIver, Cathy McDonald, Dr Robyn Pearce, Dr Darren Morton 4

5 Research Area: CHIP Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP) The Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP) is a comprehensive lifestyle intervention program developed in consultation with academics at the Lifestyle Research Centre. The program has been shown to be effective for the management and even reversal of chronic illnesses, based on studies in numerous peer-reviewed publications. CHIP is now used in 10 countries around the world and is one of the most well published community-based lifestyle interventions in the medical literature. The Lifestyle Research Centre coordinates the international research effort regarding CHIP. Avondale lecturer Linda Cloete has been administering lifestyle programs for many years and has seen significant results, saying a large number of people who have undertaken the CHIP program have made substantial changes to their lifestyle and benefitted from the results. A lot of people who adopted the lifestyle changes she recommended on behalf of the program actually reversed their coronary artery disease. Academics affiliated with the Lifestyle Research Centre are involved in a number of projects related to the CHIP program and are researching it s benefits on a range of diseases including diabetes, heart disease, depression, and even dementia. A lot of people who adopted the lifestyle changes actually reversed their coronary artery disease Current Projects: The effectiveness of the CHIP lifestyle intervention in the United States, Canada and Australasia The effectiveness of a modified version of the CHIP intervention for illiterate communities in the South Pacific The cost effectiveness of the CHIP lifestyle intervention in the United States Changes in lipid sub-fractions associated with a transition to a plant-based eating pattern Changes in short-chain fatty acids as a surrogate for gut flora in response to a transition to a plant-based eating pattern 5

6 Research Area: Healthcare Associated Infections Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) Healthcare associated infections infections resulting from a person receiving healthcare are relatively common, but a large proportion can be prevented. World-first studies, led by researchers at the Lifestyle Research Centre, have demonstrated the impact of these infections on healthcare centres and individuals and emphasised the need for more conscientious practices. Example of current projects: Project Lead Partners Reducing catheter associated urinary tract infections in hospitals: a randomised controlled study Avondale ACU, Monash University, ANU and QUT Researching Effective Approaches to Cleaning Hospital (REACH) QUT Avondale, Wesley Medical Research Unit, UWA, ACU Reducing catheter use: a randomised controlled study Avondale Deakin, Monash Exploration of infection control in Australian aged care facilities Avondale Deakin University, Griffith University and Gold Coast Hospital The use of Twitter in infection prevention and control conferences Avondale Avondale Electronic surveillance of healthcare associated infections: A systematic review The burden of healthcare associated infection in Australian hospitals: A systematic review Reducing environmental contamination using dilute hydrogen peroxide (DHP) technology: an observational cross over study Avondale Avondale Avondale Deakin University, Griffith University and Gold Coast Hospital Deakin University, Griffith University and Gold Coast Hospital Hunter New England Health District 6

7 Research Area: Holistic Health and Wellbeing Holistic Health & Wellbeing Holistic health and Wellbeing includes but is not limited to Healthy eating and Nutrition, Avoidable Blindness, Lifestyle Medicine, Medical Humanities. Current Projects: Community-based Lifestyle Education Program Addressing Non-communicable Diseases in Islands of the South Pacific. A project aimed at improving the wellbeing of College students: the Live More Happy project. Investigating adolescent health and lifestyle in Adventist schools Slowing Cognitive Decline in Dementia through Intensive Therapeutic Lifestyle Change (ITLC) Pilot study Live More project Narratives from patients with cancer A study exploring cancer metaphors and the representation of illness The impact of resilience on the longer term wellbeing of family caregivers Food and Nutrition in the Media - Recipe to Riches study including Health Star Ratings 7
