Cross-cultural similarities and variations in parent-child value transmission in low- and middle-income countries
Diverse global cultures have different value definitions, meanings, and orientations. Yet, some values are shared across societies, varying in importance in each context. Values that the current generation of parents strive to pass on to the next generation are context-laden, evolving, and varying in conceptualisation worldwide. Subsequently, to advance cultural humility and value sensitivity, early childhood development (ECD) information, progra…
Multistakeholder perspectives on children’s play and the systemic factors that influence it across 12 low- and middle-income countries
Children’s play in early childhood is not purely natural and inherent, but shaped by interpersonal, sociocultural, political, and economic factors. Drawing on qualitative data from 74 co-design workshops conducted across 12 low- and middle-income countries, this paper focuses on understanding how children’s play is conceptualised by parents and caregivers and the systems that shape it across diverse settings. Using thematic analysis, two themes, …
Amplifying children’s leadership roles and voice in decision-making through co-production in outside of school hours care
Background There is scant research examining evidence-based processes and practices that delineate how to include the voices of children in service design and delivery in school age care environments such as Outside of School Hours Care (OSHC). A possible structure to support children to share leadership in design of their OSHC program and have a meaningful voice in decision-making is co-production, whereby children and their OSHC communities hav…
Developing a conceptual framework for cultural adaptation of digital parenting interventions
Cultural adaptation is essential for effective implementation of digital parenting interventions across diverse settings, including in low- and middle-income countries. Dominant frameworks for cultural adaptation focus on intervention design components at the expense of attending to processes of adaptation that take place during implementation and neglect the significance of cultural context for measurement and evaluation of outcomes. Despite man…
Parental emotional adjustment as a primary target for parenting programs
A robust literature demonstrates the importance of supporting parents' mental health and emotional adjustment to improve both parent and child outcomes. Our results highlight that better emotional adjustment is associated with more positive parenting practices, suggesting that interventions that support a parent's ability to cope with the parenting role will increase the use of responsive and nurturing childrearing practices. However, further res…
Personalised care, youth mental health, and digital technology
Digital health is typically driven, in part, by the principle of personalised care. However, the underlying values and associated ethical design considerations at the intersection of personalised care, youth mental health, and digital technology are underexplored. Through a value sensitive design lens, this work aims to contribute a prototype conceptual framework for the ethical design and evaluation of personalised youth digital mental health te…
Older adults' needs and preferences for a nutrition education digital health solution
BACKGROUND: The global population is ageing rapidly and there is a need for strategies to promote health and wellbeing among older adults. Nutrition knowledge is a key predictor of dietary intake; therefore, effective educational programmes are urgently required to rectify poor dietary patterns. Digital health technologies provide a viable option for delivering nutrition education that is cost-effective and widely accessible. However, few technol…
Childcare in Contemporary Africa
Kinship care and child fostering are a common practice in certain parts of Africa. This narrative review seeks to explore and thematically code the contextual circumstances in which children leave their natal homes and are fostered across Africa and the corresponding outcomes for these children. It draws on case studies from Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Namibia and other countries across the region to illus…
Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviours Concerning the Mediterranean Diet Among Older Adults in Australia
Despite the growing body of evidence demonstrating the positive health effects of the Mediterranean diet, it is not routinely recommended in practice and adherence is low in the general population in Australia. The knowledge-attitude-behaviour model explains how health behaviours are supported through a process of acquiring knowledge, developing attitudes, and forming behaviours. Evidence has suggested that having a high level of nutrition-relate…
