  • Early parent‐child interaction and home environments of children exposed prenatally to opioids

    Open AccessSamantha J Lee, Alison Davie‐Gray et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2025References: 56

    Children born to mothers with opioid use disorder (OUD) are at increased risk of maltreatment and out‐of‐home care (OOHC) placement. This study examines the parent‐child interaction quality and home environments of 92 New Zealand children with prenatal opioid exposure (OE) and 106 non‐opioid‐exposed (NE) children. Experiences for those in maternal care versus OOHC were of particular interest. Biological mothers completed a lifestyle interview dur…

  • Increased Risk of Parental Instability for Children Born Very Preterm and Impacts on Neurodevelopmental Outcomes at Age 12

    Open AccessMegan Gath, Samantha J Lee et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    Caring for a child born preterm places significant emotional and financial burdens on family relationships. This paper examines (a) the extent to which children born very and extremely preterm are more likely to experience parental change/caregiver instability than children born full term, (b) predictors of parental change/s for preterm infants, and (c) whether exposure to parental change/caregiver instability increases child neurodevelopmental r…

  • Preschool Language Development of Children Born to Women with an Opioid Use Disorder

    Open AccessHyun Min Kim, Reisha Bone et al.ARTICLEChildren2021

    Increasing evidence suggests that prenatal exposure to opioids may affect brain development, but limited data exist on the effects of opioid-exposure on preschool language development. Our study aimed to characterize the nature and prevalence of language problems in children prenatally exposed to opioids, and the factors that support or hinder language acquisition. A sample of 100 children born to pregnant women in methadone maintenance treatment…

  • The potential of school-based Wash programming to support children as agents of change in rural Zambian households

    Open AccessJ C Winter, Gary L Darmstadt et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Although we measured only modest levels of student dissemination of WASH UP! messages from the school to the home, students in grade 4 showed significantly more promise as agents of change than those in grade 1. Future work should prioritize developing curricula that reflect the variability in needs, capabilities and support in the home and community among primary school students rather than a single approach for a wide range of ages and contexts

  • Applied Anthropology and its Practice

    Michael Paolisso, Ellen J Platts et al.ARTICLEPracticing Anthropology2018

    In order to assess the baseline ideas about applied anthropology held by a class of anthropology graduate students, the class participated in several pedagogical activities, both qualitative and quantitative. Students analyzed the results of the qualitative activity, a self-reflection on the nature of applied anthropology and the role of practice within it, and the quantitative activity, a cultural domain analysis using free listing, pile sorting…
