Adolescents' Exposure to Zero‐Alcohol Advertisements and Attitudes and Consumption Intentions Towards Alcohol
Alcohol advertising in disguise
The combination of high levels of agreement and slower reaction times suggest that adolescents categorise zero-alcohol drinks as non-typical alcoholic drinks, rather than soft drinks. Thus, exposure to zero-alcohol drinks had similar effects to exposure to alcoholic drinks. Urgent regulatory action is required to ensure that restrictions on alcohol advertising and availability to minors extend to zero-alcohol drinks
Objectively measured infant and toddler screen time
Using an objective measure of screen exposure, many families exceed screen time guidelines, the extent increasing with child's age. Furthermore, substantial differences between maternal education groups emerge as young as six months old. This highlights the need for education and supports for parents around screen use in the early years, balanced within the realities of modern life
The impact of women’s empowerment on their children’s early development in 26 African countries
BACKGROUND: Every year more than 200 million children under-five years fail to achieve their full developmental potential in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Although women ́s empowerment has been associated with improved child health and development outcomes, this is a topic little studied in LMICs. We investigated the associations between women ́s empowerment and early childhood development among a sample population of 84537 children a…
Characterising the Burden of Work-Related Injuries in South Australia
To characterise the burden of work-related injuries in South Australia, workers’ compensation claim data were obtained from SafeWork South Australia between 2000 and 2014. Descriptive analyses were performed to investigate the burden of work-related injuries by age, gender, occupation, industry, and nature and mechanism of injury. Dunn’s test was used to compare the injury costs and working days lost by industry and occupation. Ordinary linear re…
Educational activities on language and behavioural outcomes at school entry are more important for socioeconomically disadvantaged children
Background To investigate whether time spent in educational activities at 2–3 years and developmental outcomes at school entry differ among children from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Methods Participants were from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (n=4253). Time spent in educational activities was collected using 24-hour time-use diaries. Income was measured using parent self-report. Receptive vocabulary was assessed using the…
Associations of parental food-choice control and use of food to soothe with adiposity in childhood and adolescence
Do early life cognitive ability and self-regulation skills explain socio-economic inequalities in academic achievement? An effect decomposition analysis in UK and Australian cohorts
Social inequalities in childcare quality and their effects on children's development at school entry
BACKGROUND: Higher quality childcare in the years before school may help narrow developmental gaps between the richest and poorest children in our societies, but specific evidence is limited and inconsistent. We address this issue by examining whether higher quality childcare is associated with better developmental outcomes at school entry for children from lower than higher income families. METHODS: The sample from the Longitudinal Study of Aust…
Student-teacher relationship trajectories and mental health problems in young children
Findings suggest that early intervention and prevention strategies that focus on building stable high quality student-teacher relationships during preschool and children's transition into formal schooling, may help reduce rates of childhood mental health problems during the early school years
