Two service evaluations of Leaplets – An early years programme for children in foster care and adoption, based on the Buss® (Building Underdeveloped Sensorimotor Systems) Model
BUSS® is a relationally based intervention, bringing an appreciation of the role nurture, touch and movement play in the development of bodily regulation in early childhood. Following a neurosequential understanding of development ( Perry and Hambrick, 2008 ), BUSS® works to support foster carers and adoptive parents in understanding both the disruptive impact of trauma on the development of their child’s foundation sensorimotor systems and the c…
Physical Activity, Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Clustered Cardiovascular Risk in South African Primary Schoolchildren from Disadvantaged Communities
The coexistence of multiple cardiovascular risk factors has been reported in school-aged children from the age of nine years, but most evidence stems from high-income countries. This cross-sectional study aimed at describing the cardiovascular health risk, physical activity (PA) behavior and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels of South African primary schoolchildren, and at examining the associations between PA/CRF and a composite measure of c…
You Can Do So Much Better Than What They Expect”
Newcomer adolescents make up a large minority of Canada's population and their positive integration experiences with education systems across the country are critical for both their development and the country's long-term success. The current study examined newcomer adolescents' ( n = 4, between 16 and 18 years old) integration experiences using an arts-based engagement ethnography to understand what influences their positive integration into the…
Changes in Self-Reported Physical Activity Predict Health-Related Quality of Life Among South African Schoolchildren
Introduction Regular physical activity is associated with multiple health benefits for children. Evidence from cross-sectional studies suggests that physical activity is positively associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The promotion of physical activity, and hence HRQoL, through a school-based intervention is therefore an important endeavor, particularly in disadvantaged areas of low- and middle-income countries, including South…
Effect of a Multidimensional Physical Activity Intervention on Body Mass Index, Skinfolds and Fitness in South African Children
Obesity-related conditions impose a considerable and growing burden on low- and middle-income countries, including South Africa. We aimed to assess the effect of twice a 10-week multidimensional, school-based physical activity intervention on children's health in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. A cluster-randomised controlled trial was implemented from February 2015 to May 2016 in grade 4 classes in eight disadvantaged primary schools. Intervention…
Youth Access to Electronic Cigarettes in an Unrestricted Market
Background : Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use among youths in Poland has become very popular. The aim of this study was to identify the potential points of access to these products by students aged 16−17 years old before implementation of sales restrictions to minors in Poland in November 2016. Methods : A school-based, cross-sectional survey was administered in 2015−2016 in 21 secondary/technical schools across two regions of Poland. Analy…
The Association of Exposure to Point-of-Sale Tobacco Marketing with Quit Attempt and Quit Success
The aim was to assess the association of exposure to point-of-sale (POS) tobacco marketing with quit attempt and quit success in a prospective study of smokers in the United States. Data were collected via telephone-interview on exposure to POS tobacco marketing, sociodemographic and smoking-related variables from 999 smokers in Omaha, Nebraska, in the United States. Exposure to POS tobacco marketing was measured by asking respondents three quest…

Taxing sugar-sweetened beverages
Objective To assess current beverage consumption patterns and anticipated reaction to an added 20 % tax on these products. Design A random-digit dialled telephone interview lasting 20 min was administered to assess demographics, beverage consumption behaviours and intentions regarding consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages in the event of an additional tax on these beverages. Setting Respondents were recruited throughout the USA. Subjects The s…

Lake Eutrophication at the Urban Fringe, Seattle Region, USA
Nutrient pollution and associated eutrophication of freshwaters threaten the ecological integrity and the services provided to humans by lakes. We examined how human residential development influenced the level of lake eutrophication in the Seattle, WA, USA, region. We surveyed 30 lakes and measured 3 indicators of eutrophication: concentrations of chlorophyll-a and phosphorus, and the proportion of algae that are inedible to zooplankton. We clas…
