  • Implementation of parenting interventions through health services in Jamaica

    Susan Walker, Helen Baker-Henningham et al.ARTICLEVulnerable Children and Youth…2017Citada por: 1Referencias: 1

    Integration of parenting programmes that promote early child development with health services has been recommended as one strategy to reduce the large numbers of children not achieving their potential in low and middle-income countries. There is limited information on implementation to guide integration for delivery at scale. We conducted a cluster randomized trial of (1) a home visit and (2) a health centre-based intervention, in primary health …

  • Psychological well‐being of orphans in Dar El Salaam, Tanzania

    Open AccessV Makame, Cornelius Ani et al.ARTICLEActa Paediatrica2002

    Forty‐one orphans whose fathers and/or mothers had died from AIDS, and were living in the poor suburbs of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, were compared with 41 matched non‐orphans from the same neighbourhoods. The subjects were given an arithmetic test and a semi‐structured questionnaire concerning any internalizing problems, their attendance at school and their experiences of punishment, reward and hunger. The scale of internalizing problems comprised …

  • Psychological well-being of orphans in Dar El Salaam, Tanzania

    Open AccessV Makame, S Grantham-McGregor et al.ARTICLEActa Paediatrica2002

    The orphans not only had unmet basic needs, but also had markedly increased internalizing problems, thus their long-term mental health would be in jeopardy. There is an urgent need to expand and improve current intervention programmes not only to meet the basic needs but also to include psychosocial support, counselling services for the orphans, and training for their carers and teachers.

  • Nutritional status of Jamaican children in an economic depression

    Patricia Diamond Fletcher, P D L Fletcher et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1988

    In Jamaica, between 1979 and 1984 the cost of basic food items increased steeply. It had previously been suggested that many children would rapidly become malnourished in the event of an economic depression. We therefore investigated whether the nutritional status of children in two poor urban neighbourhoods had deteriorated during this period. In both 1979 and 1984, a house to house survey was carried out in the same areas using the same methods…

  • The social environment of malnourished children compared with that of other children in Jamaica

    Open AccessM L Sheffer, S M Grantham-McGregor et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1981

    This investigation was part of a longitudinal study of mental development of seventeen Jamaican children who were admitted to hospital with severe protein energy malnutrition. The children were compared with 20 adequately nourished children who were admitted to hospital for other reasons. Previous research had shown that, 1 month after the children left hospital, both groups had similar scores on a modified Caldwell Inventory of Home Stimulation.…

  • The relationship between hospitalisation, social background, severe protein energy malnutrition and mental development in young Jamaican children

    S M Grantham‐McGregor, Marie Stewart et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1980

    The development levels, length of hospital stay, social and biological backgrounds of 18 young Jamaican children who had recently been hospitalised for severe PEM, and 21 adequately nourished children who had been hospitalised for other reasons were studied. Birth‐weights, age, severity of illness, length of hospital stay, standard of housing, mothers’ verbal IQ, and the quality of the micro‐environment were all examined. Multiple regression anal…
