| Promoting healthy screen use amoung children under grandparent care: The role of intergenerational co-parenting | Recent observations suggest that children under grandparental care may experience increased screen time, a phenomenon whose underlying factors remain underexplored and whose management is often complicated by intergenerational dynamics and varying parenting practices. This research project aims to develop an evidence-based understanding of how inter-generational co-parenting between parents and grandparents can foster healthy screen-time practices amoung children. The study will examine the opputunities and challenges in parent-grandparent co-parenting and identify key factors that can inform more effective, collaborative management of children's screen time within grandparental care settings. | n.kesumaningsari@student.uq.edu.au |

| Parenting practices for young children with a low birthweight (LBW) history in extremely poor households | This project examines how parents in socioeconomically disadvantaged households support the growth and development of young children with a history of low birth weight. It investigates parenting practices and their predictors, including parental factors and family resources, and explores how broader social and service contexts shape caregiving. Using quantitative approaches, the study aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of parenting within resource-constrained settings in Indonesia. | y.letor@student.uq.edu.au |

Anjana Rajagopal
| A family-based intervention to promote healthy screen use in Australian adolescents | Excessive screen use is a growing global health concern, highlighting the need to support families establishing healthy screen practices. This PhD project aims to develop and evaluate the feasibility of a family-based intervention promoting healthy screen use amoung Australian adolescents. The intervention supports adolescents and parents in developing practical strategies for balanced screen habits, and findings from the feasibility evaluation will inform future large-scale implementation.
