Measuring and monitoring child health and well-being—an integral part of the climate change agenda
Climate change has far-reaching consequences for all aspects of human society (Romanello et al. 2023). Children are uniquely vulnerable to climate change for a multitude of physiological and developmental reasons as well as because of distinctive behaviors such as outdoor play that increase their exposure to climate-related stressors (EPA 2023). Several reviews have summarized the multiple direct and indirect pathways through which climate change…
Scaling parenting programs for early child development in four low- and middle-income countries
Background Although meta-analyses have demonstrated the value of parenting programs to promote child development in low- and middle-income countries, scaling them horizontally and vertically through the system has remained largely undocumented. This study examines the enablers and barriers to scaling parenting programs implemented by different organizations in four countries, namely Bhutan, Rwanda, Serbia, and Zambia. Method An independent resear…
Using Implementation Research to Inform Scaling of Parenting Programs
Two case studies of parenting programs for parents of children 0 to 36 months of age, developed and implemented by Save the Children/Ministry of Health/Khesar Gyalpo University in Bhutan and UNICEF Zambia, were conducted by an independent research group. The focus was on how program delivery and scale-up were revised on the basis of feedback from implementation research. Feedback on workforce delivery quality was based on observations of deliveri…
In-person versus remote (mHealth) delivery for a responsive parenting intervention in rural Kenya
NCT06140017 (02/08/2024) AEARCTR0012704
Implementation of Unicef and WHO's care for child development package
Introduction: In the last decade, there has been increased global policy and program momentum to promote early childhood development. The Care for Child Development (CCD) package, developed by UNICEF and the WHO, is a key tool responding to the global demand. The CCD package comprises two age-specific evidence-based recommendations for caregivers to 1) play and communicate and 2) responsively interact with their children (0-5 years) and was desig…
Pre‐pregnancy iodized salt improved children's cognitive development in randomized trial in Ethiopia
The overarching Ethiopia project examined the effects of early market introduction of iodized salt on the growth and mental development of young children. Sixty districts were randomly assigned to intervention (early market access to iodized salt) or control (later access through market forces), and one community per district was randomly chosen as the sampling unit. For this project, 22 of the districts were included. The participants were 1,220…
Enhancing young children’s language acquisition through parent–child book-sharing
Disaster risk reduction in early childhood education
Behaviour change communication targeting four health behaviours in developing countries
Special issue call for papers
An assessment of community readiness for HIV/Aids preventive interventions in rural Bangladesh
Promoting Peer Intervention in Name-Calling
Results from two studies conducted at a mixed-ethnic elementary school in Canada are presented to demonstrate the potential for bystanders to stop verbal bullying. Name-calling is one of the most common forms of bullying, and leaving it unchecked fosters a tolerance for intergroup discrimination. Because it occurs in unsupervised places, peer bystanders must play a role in stopping it. The results of our survey with 204 students from third to six…
Characterizing the scope of socialization and its impact on health
Intellectual, social and nutritional status of children in an Ethiopian orphanage
Determinants of mothers' treatment of diarrhea in rural Ethiopia
Developmental Patterns in the Flexibility of Children's Ethnic Attitudes
Developmental patterns in ethnic attitudes were assessed in 232 children aged 5 to 12 years in relation to cognitive development and social desirability responding. English-speaking children assigned 10 positive attributes, 10 negative attributes, and 4 neutral attributes to either an English-speaking child, a French-speaking child, or both an English- and a French-speaking child, depicted by line drawings. Positive attributions to their own ethn…
