The missing middle of childhood
Middle childhood, between six and twelve years, is a critical bridge between earlier childhood and adolescence with rapid physical and psychological transitions. Most of the world's 2.6 billion young people, of which the middle childhood age group is a significant portion, live in low- and middle-income countries. Many live in environments that place them at high and growing risk for mental ill-health, injuries, and adoption of risky behaviours t…
Cross-sectoral cooperation at the ministerial level in three Nordic countries - With a focus on health inequalities
To reduce health inequalities requires interventions that address the social determinants of health. The responsibilities, at the ministerial level, for these determinants are mainly situated outside the ministry of health. Accordingly, interventions to reduce health inequalities require coordination between the ministry of health and other ministries. Yet, a large literature in public administration has demonstrated that cross-sectoral cooperati…
Systematic Review of the Effect of Pictorial Warnings on Cigarette Packages in Smoking Behavior
We used a structured approach to assess whether active smokers presented with pictorial warnings on cigarette packages (PWCP) had a higher probability of quitting, reducing, and attempting to quit smoking than did unexposed smokers. We identified 21 articles from among nearly 2500 published between 1993 and 2013, prioritizing coverage over relevance or quality because we expected to find only a few studies with behavioral outcomes. We found very …
A comparative analysis of early child health and development services and outcomes in countries with different redistributive policies
This paper provides further support for an association between redistributive policies and early child health and development outcomes, along with the organization of early child health and development services
The Swedish perspective - A puzzle
Association between labour market trends and trends in young people's mental health in ten European countries 1983-2005
Labour market trends may have contributed to the deteriorating trend in mental health among young people. A true relationship, should other studies confirm it, would be an important aspect to take into account when forming labour market policies or policies concerning the delivery of higher education
Fathers' involvement and children's developmental outcomes: A systematic review of longitudinal studies
Objective: This systematic review aims to describe longitudinal evidence on the effects of father involvement on children's developmental outcomes. Methods: Father involvement was conceptualized as accessibility (cohabitation), engagement, responsibility or other complex measures of involvement. Both biological fathers and father figures were included. We searched all major databases from the first dates. Data on father involvement had to be gene…
Social and emotional training in Swedish classrooms for the promotion of mental health: Results from an effectiveness study in Sweden
Mental ill-health is a major problem worldwide. It includes depression, aggressive behavior, feeling down and alcohol and drug abuse. Since all children go to school, the school is an obvious arena for health interventions. A set of educational techniques named Social and Emotional Learning, based on the use by teachers of cognitive and behavioral methods, which teaches students self-control, social competence, empathy, motivation and self-awaren…
Are there differences in birth weight between neighbourhoods in a Nordic welfare state
Welfare institutions and benefits in Sweden might buffer against negative infant outcomes due to adverse structural organisation of urban neighbourhoods
The neighbourhood they live in—Does it matter to women's smoking habits during pregnancy
Two approaches to school health promotion—a focus on health-related behaviours and general competencies. An ecological study of 25 Swedish municipalities
The school is an important potential health-promoting setting for children and adolescents. Two main perspectives on school health promotion have been identified, one addressing health-related behaviours, the other stressing the development of general competencies. From a policy perspective, it is important to establish whether these two approaches are complementary or competing. This question was analysed by examining school administrations in 2…
What makes things happen? An analysis of the development of nine health-promoting measures aimed at children and adolescents in three Swedish municipalities
Does an increase of low income families affect child health inequalities? A Swedish case study
Study objective: Reduction of health inequalities is a primary public health target in many countries. A change of proportion of low income families might affect child health inequalities. Yet, the importance of family incomes in high income welfare states is not well established. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of increased percentage of low income families on child health inequalities during an economic recession in Sweden, …
Social aetiology of violent deaths in Swedish children and youth
Study objective: To describe the contribution of social conditions for the main causes of injury deaths in Swedish children and youth aged 5–25 years. Design: Cohort study. All children below 15 years of age that resided in Sweden 1985 were followed up during 1991–1995. Injury deaths were recorded from The National Cause of Death Register. Information on parental social determinants were collected from various national registers. Connections betw…
