    Open AccessAndrew Foell, Cheryl Dimonte et al.ARTICLEChild & Family Social Work2026

    Housing and neighbourhood contexts are critical social determinants of health for children and youth. However, little is known about how co‐occurring socioecological factors, including household, housing and neighbourhood contexts, cumulatively influence child and youth health risks. The aims of this study were to examine the combined effects of household‐, housing‐ and neighbourhood‐based risk and protective factors on child and youth health ris…

    Open AccessNgozi Victoria Enelamah, Smitha Rao et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

    An estimated 6 million children under the age of five in Nigeria (out of nearly 31 million) risk not reaching their full developmental potential. The dearth of context-relevant measures poses a challenge to the planning and implementation of effective interventions. This study assesses the utility of the Early Childhood Development Index (ECDI) in Nigeria. We used the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys to track progress among 3- to 4-year-old chi…

This study used data from a representative sample of the child supplement of the US National Health Information Survey (NHIS) and applied the social determinants of health (SDoH) framework to explore factors associated with child EBH. We conducted a path analysis of the child's EBH measured by the strengt…

    Catherine M Lemieux, Katherine A Thomas et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Service Research2018References: 38

    Knowledge about methods to retain community mental health (CMH) clients in integrated primary and behavioral health care (PBHC) programs is needed to address longstanding health disparities. A preexisting data set that contained the clinical records of 446 PBHC program participants was used to examine whether baseline sociodemographic, health, and psychosocial characteristics predicted retention in care at 6 months post-enrollment. Results indica…

    Using a survey that was administered individually to respondents at set locations, this study examines the effects of participation in an asset-building program in resource-constrained households in rural Ghana (n = 120 in the experimental group and n = 120 in the comparison group). Results suggest the program is effective in reaching the most economically vulnerable households. We also learned that program participation was related to ownership …
