Iron deficiency anaemia in mothers and infants with high inflammatory burden
The scarcity of epidemiological data on anaemia in low- and middle-income countries, coupled with contrasting approaches to the assessment of iron status with inflammation, represent critical research gaps. This study characterised the prevalence and profile of iron deficiency anaemia, including adjustment for inflammation, in mothers and infants from South Africa. Mother-child dyads ( n = 394) were recruited (2021–2022) for the Khula birth cohor…
Longitudinal effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on visual neurodevelopment over infancy
Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) affects neurodevelopment in over 59 million individuals globally. Prior studies using dichotomous categorization of alcohol use and comorbid substance exposures provide limited knowledge of how prenatal alcohol specifically impacts early human neurodevelopment. In this longitudinal cohort study from Cape Town, South Africa, PAE is measured continuously-characterizing timing, dose, and drinking patterns (i.e., binge…
Parents' Experiences of Caring for a Child With Chronic Pain
Involvement of parents in their children's pain management is universally accepted as best practice, yet there is little understanding of their needs.

All parents started in distress, and most moved into a stance that enabled them to balance the child's needs with their own. These parents discussed "s…
