Health status follow-up of migrant children after arrival in France
Purpose: Many studies have examined the health issues of international migrant children upon arrival in their host country. However, very few have described their health status long after settling. We aimed to assess the health status of migrant children two years after their arrival in a high-income country. Methods: We conducted a descriptive, longitudinal study among migrant children accompanied by parents who attended a migrant outpatient cli…
Emotional & Behavioral Difficulties in Internationally Adopted Adolescents in 4 European Receiving Countries
A multi‐sectoral community development intervention has a positive impact on diet quality and growth in school‐age children in rural Nepal
Poor diet quality (diet diversity and animal-source food [ASF] consumption) during childhood negatively affects growth, development, behaviour and physiologic function in later life. Relatively less is known about the impact of poor diet on the growth of school-age children compared to children <5 years of age, especially in low/middle-income countries. A better understanding of delivery strategies for effective interventions to improve diet and …
Navigating Microaggressions and Family Belonging as French Intercountry Adoptees
Intercountry adoptees (ICAs) face life-long challenges within their ecological contexts that warrant exploration. Adoptees’ visible adoptions make them susceptible to microaggressions. This study examined the relation between racial and adoption microaggressions (RMAs, AMAs) and youths’ belonging-to-family among 98 French intercountry adopted adolescents. Moderators of this relation were also explored (visibility, identity connections to country-…
The Mediating Role of Adoption Communication Openness between Family Functioning and the Adjustment of Adopted Adolescents
Family systems theories consider cohesion, flexibility, and communication as distinct but related key dimensions of family functioning. These dimensions are underexplored within adoptive families. We investigated the extent to which family cohesion, flexibility, and adoption communication openness relate to the adjustment of adoptees in adolescence. A self-report questionnaire was completed by 134 family triads, composed of internationally adopte…

Maternal depression is associated with less dietary diversity among rural Nepali children
Maternal depression has been associated with adverse child growth and development; less is known about its relation to children's diet. In a cross-sectional study embedded at endline of a longitudinal community development intervention, mothers of 629 children (age 23-66 months) in rural Nepal responded to household and children's diet questionnaires and were screened for depression. Child anthropometry and development (Ages and Stages Questionna…

Diet quality over time is associated with better development in rural Nepali children
Developmental delays affect between 150 and 200 million children <5 years of age worldwide. Outside of diet supplement studies, relatively little is known about the relationships between diet quality and developmental status in resource-poor settings. We examined associations between different aspects of dietary quality (dietary diversity score [DDS] and animal-source food [ASF] consumption) and child development (assessed using the Ages and Stag…
Multisectoral community development in Nepal has greater effects on child growth and diet than nutrition education alone
Objective: To compare the impact on child diet and growth of a multisectoral community intervention v . nutrition education and livestock management training alone. Design: Longitudinal community-based randomized trial involving three groups of villages assigned to receive: (i) Full Package community development activities, delivered via women’s groups; (ii) livestock training and nutrition education alone (Partial Package); or (iii) no intervent…
Microaggressions experienced by adoptive families and internationally adopted adolescents in France
France receives a relatively large number of international adoptions. However, little is known about the frequency and types of microaggressions experienced by adoptive parents and internationally adopted adolescents in France. Unusually, France functions legally as a colorblind society, where race is not officially recognized. Therefore, we surveyed adoptive parents and adopted adolescents regarding their feelings of difference and experience of…
Longitudinal analysis of the intrahousehold distribution of foods in rural Nepal
Women’s education level amplifies the effects of a livelihoods-based intervention on household wealth, child diet, and child growth in rural Nepal
Household characteristics vary among participants in most community development projects. Of these, adult education likely mediates response to the inputs provided by the intervention. Particularly in interventions directed towards women, better education may enhance the ability of households to put interventions into practice, thus improving wealth, hygiene, and child diet and growth indices
Child dietary quality in rural Nepal
Becoming their mother
Institutional caregiving can have adverse effects on children, yet little is known about the caregivers of institutionalized young children. We surveyed staff in three Ukrainian Baby Homes about their attitudes toward the nature of their work and the needs of the young children in their care. Seventy‐one caregivers completed anonymous, semistructured surveys. Popular reasons for working in Baby Homes included benefits and convenient work shifts, …
