Reading as a catalyst for creative attitude
Preschool education and non-cognitive skills
Non-cognitive abilities, such as social skills and self-control, are vital for individual success. Preschool education is a critical period for developing these abilities, with long-term benefits often linked to early childhood interventions. Using data from the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS), this study employs OLS regression, PSM, and IV modeling to assess the impact of preschool education on rural junior high school students’ non-cognitiv…
Examining the relationship between commuting time, academic achievement, and mental health in rural China
Permission was received from local Boards of Education in each region and the principals of all schools. The principles of the Declaration of Helsinki were followed throughout. Oral informed consent was obtained from at least one parent for all child participants. Ethical committee approval for this study were obtained from Sun Yat-Sen University (Registration number: 2013MEKY018) and Stanford University (Registration number: 24847). The trial re…

Uncovering the prevalence, risk factors and consequences of school bullying in China’s rural primary schools
The findings underscore the critical need for targeted interventions to mitigate school bullying in rural China. Understanding the risk factors and the negative consequences of bullying is essential for developing effective prevention strategies and improving student welfare. The study contributes to the literature by providing insights into bullying in underdeveloped areas and by using internationally standardized measures, which enhances the co…

The impact of internet health information seeking on Covid-19 vaccination behavior in China
This study delves into the influence of Internet health information seeking on individual COVID-19 vaccination within the digital era. The outcomes underscore that Internet-mediated seeking vaccine information holds the potential to bolster individuals' comprehension of vaccination benefits and foster increased acceptance of such information
Revisit the one-time subsidies and long-run adoption of health products
The prevalence and county-level socioeconomic correlates of visual impairment and glasses ownership among rural students in Western China
Objectives Vision health has been a major issue in public health care. The vision problems of children in rural China are of particular concern. Effective policies for children's vision health should consider the heterogeneity of individual health levels and regional differences in healthcare services. This study systematically explored the relationship of student visual impairment and glasses ownership with county-level socioeconomic status (nam…
Factors influencing cataract awareness and treatment attitudes among the middle-aged and older in western China's rural areas
Purpose This study was conducted to determine the level of knowledge about cataracts and the associated factors among adults aged 50 and above in rural areas of Qingcheng county in Gansu Province of Western China, 2020. Methods A large community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among the randomly selected 1,503 adults aged 50 and above from October to December 2020. Data were collected by conducting eye examinations and face-to-face inte…
Gender differences in vision health-seeking behavior and vision health outcomes among rural Chinese schoolchildren by birth order and family size
The trial was approved by the Stanford University Institutional Review Board (Protocol No. ISRCTN03252665). Permission was received from local Boards of Education in each region and the principals of all schools. The principles of the Declaration of Helsinki were followed throughout. Written informed consent was obtained from at least one parent for all child participants
The impact of parental migration on left-behind children’s vision health in rural China
Our findings suggest that parental migration, while not increasing the prevalence of myopia in left-behind children, has led to inequity in myopic left-behind children's correction. Given the severe consequences of uncorrected myopia, action is required to enhance the correction rate of myopic left-behind children
Time's ticking! Effects of deadline on the utilization of health services
Knowledge of cataracts and eye care utilization among adults aged 50 and above in rural Western China
Background: Cataracts are highly prevalent in rural China, but patient utilization of eye care services is low. Cataract knowledge is regarded as an important factor in eye care utilization. Few studies, however, have been conducted to measure the level of cataract knowledge and its relationship with eye care utilization among older adults in rural China. Hence, we described cataract knowledge and investigated the relationships between cataract k…
Effect of Eyeglasses on Student Academic Performance
Although eyeglasses have been considered a cost-effective way to combat myopia, the empirical evidence of its impacts on improving learning outcomes is inconsistent. This paper provides empirical evidence examining the effect of providing eyeglasses on academic performance between provinces with a different economic level in western China. Overall, we find a significant impact in Intention-to-Treat analysis and a large and significant local avera…
Impact of Teacher Incentive Intervention on Students’ Vision Healthcare Uptake
Less than one-third of rural Chinese children with refractive error own or wear eyeglasses. To study the effect of teacher incentives on the acceptance of vision care offered to rural students with uncorrected refractive error, we conducted a cluster-randomized controlled trial in 18 townships in one county in Shaanxi Province. Primary and junior high schools within each township were assigned to either intervention (all teachers received an ince…
The combined effects of temperature and noise on the comfort perceptions of young people with a normal Body Mass Index
What Can Children Learn from a Free Trial of Eyeglasses Use? Evidence from a Cluster‐Randomized Controlled Trial in Rural China
Free trial is a widely used business strategy that takes advantage of information asymmetry. However, evidence on what we can learn and how rapidly we can learn from a free trial of health care is limited. This study evaluates the effect of a free trial of eyeglasses on children’s 8 items of perception related to eyeglasses use. An evaluation was conducted alongside a cluster-randomized controlled trial involved 832 myopic children from northwest…

Impact of a Local Vision Care Center on Glasses Ownership and Wearing Behavior in Northwestern Rural China
Visual impairment is common among rural Chinese children, but fewer than a quarter of children who need glasses actually own and use them. To study the effect of rural county hospital vision centers (VC) on self-reported glasses ownership and wearing behavior (primary outcome) among rural children in China, we conducted a cluster-randomized controlled trial at a VC in the government hospital of Qinan County, a nationally-designated poor county. A…
Health Seeking Behavior among Rural Left-Behind Children
More than 60 million children in rural China are “left-behind”—both parents live and work far from their rural homes and leave their children behind. This paper explores differences in how left-behind and non-left-behind children seek health remediation in China’s vast but understudied rural areas. This study examines this question in the context of a program to provide vision health care to myopic rural students. The data come from a randomized …
The Effect of Providing Free Eyeglasses on Children’s Mental Health Outcomes in China
If children with common vision problems receive and use eyeglasses, their educational performance rises. Without proper treatment, visually impaired children may not achieve educational gains and could suffer from poor mental health. We use a randomized controlled trial to study the impact of an eyeglasses promotion program in rural China on the mental health of myopic primary school students. Three measures of mental health are used: learning an…
