Can Social Work Interventions Improve Perinatal Mental Health Outcomes? A Systematic Review
Intersecting social inequalities in prenatal and postnatal care
Home Visits for Postpartum Depression Intervention among Low-Income Latinas
Research shows that U.S. Latinas are at risk for high rates of postpartum depression (PPD) but have low rates of treatment compared to non-Hispanic White mothers. This study examined the feasibility of a multi-site home-visiting intervention (PST4PPD) conducted by bilingual community health workers (CHW) among low-income Latina mothers. A one-group, pre/posttest design and paired sample’s t-test were used to measure changes in depressive symptoms…
Behavioral Health Training to Address the Needs of Adolescents
This article outlines the outcomes of a specialized master’s of social work (MSW) training program on students’ (N=96) ability to work effectively in behavioral health care settings with adolescents and transitional age youth from diverse racial, ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds. Program design, curriculum development, and associated activities for the 3-year MSW training program at a large southern urban university are described. The results o…
Tailoring Perinatal Health Communication
The United States has the highest maternal mortality rate of any industrialized country. According to the Centers for Disease Control, Black women die at 2-3 times the rate of white women, and the infant mortality rate in the U.S. is 2.5 times higher than their White counterparts. Maternal and child health programs, such as Healthy Start, are an important gateway to increasing awareness, education, and referral to perinatal care and mental health…

A promising new model of care for postpartum depression
Postpartum depression (PPD), a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMAD), is a leading cause of complications of pregnancy and childbirth. In the United States, approximately 20 percent of women suffer from PMADs. In Houston, Texas, an estimation of 12,000 - 15,000 women experience PPD each year. Within the Texas Children's Paediatrics network, a large paediatric network located in Houston, Texas, mothers are screened during paediatric well-chil…
Combinations of physical activity, sedentary time, and sleep duration and their associations with depressive symptoms and other mental health problems in children and adolescents
HIV Knowledge of Middle Eastern and North Africans 18-35 Residing in the U.S
The current body of literature on the HIV knowledge related to young adult Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) individuals residing in the United States is substantially underdeveloped. As the number of MENA individuals residing in the US continues to rise, there remains a need for research investigating the levels of general HIV knowledge for this unique group. An exploratory cross-sectional design was used for an anonymous online survey of …
Systematic review of the relationships between physical activity and health indicators in the early years (0-4 years)
Systematic review of the relationships between sedentary behaviour and health indicators in the early years (0–4 years)
Depression in the barrio
Understanding the effect of cultural values on depression and how social networks influence these relationships may be important in the treatment of substance-using, Mexican American populations. Latino cultural values, familismo, personalismo, fatalismo, and machismo, may be associated with depression among Latinos. The current study identified the association of traditional Latino values on depressive symptomatology among a sample of Mexican Am…
Stress, Depression, and Drug Use Among Aging Mexican American Men Living in the Barrio
Residing in Mexican American barrios might place individuals at heightened risk for chronic financial and acute stress, which are associated with adverse mental health outcomes. Stressors could be exacerbated for substance users. This research explores relations between chronic financial stress, acute stress, and depressive symptomatology among aging Mexican American heroin and other drug-using men. A prospective cohort study and field-intensive …
Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for the Early Years (0–4 years)
These guidelines represent a sensible evolution of public health guidelines whereby optimal health is framed within the balance of movement behaviours across the whole day, while respecting preferences of end-users. Future research should consider the integrated relationships among movement behaviours, and similar integrated guidelines for other age groups should be developed
Medical students’ perception of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) discrimination in their learning environment and their self-reported comfort level for caring for LGBT patients
Anti-LGBT discrimination and heterosexism are noted by medical students, indicating a suboptimal learning environment for LGBT students. Nonetheless, students report a high level of comfort and confidence providing health care to LGBT patients
Latina Immigrants’ Cultural Beliefs About Postpartum Depression
It is estimated that U.S. Latinas have a higher risk of developing postpartum depression (PPD) than the general population, with even higher risk among immigrant Latinas. We conducted three focus groups with immigrants from Mexico and Central America (19) inquiring about cultural messages regarding PPD. Groups were conducted in Spanish, and thematic analysis was used to uncover themes. Themes are presented within three categories: views of PPD, c…

Systematic review of the relationships between objectively measured physical activity and health indicators in school-aged children and youth
Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is essential for disease prevention and health promotion. Emerging evidence suggests other intensities of physical activity (PA), including light-intensity activity (LPA), may also be important, but there has been no rigorous evaluation of the evidence. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the relationships between objectively measured PA (total and all intensities) and health indicato…
Systematic review of the relationships between sleep duration and health indicators in school-aged children and youth
The objective of this systematic review was to examine the relationships between objectively and subjectively measured sleep duration and various health indicators in children and youth aged 5–17 years. Online databases were searched in January 2015 with no date or study design limits. Included studies were peer-reviewed and met the a priori-determined population (apparently healthy children and youth aged 5–17 years), intervention/exposure/compa…
PRESS Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies
OBJECTIVE: To develop an evidence-based guideline for Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies (PRESS) for systematic reviews (SRs), health technology assessments, and other evidence syntheses. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: An SR, Web-based survey of experts, and consensus development forum were undertaken to identify checklists that evaluated or validated electronic literature search strategies and to determine which of their elements related to …
Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth
Leaders from the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology convened representatives of national organizations, content experts, methodologists, stakeholders, and end-users who followed rigorous and transparent guideline development procedures to create the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth: An Integration of Physical Activity, Sedentary Behaviour, and Sleep. These novel guidelines for children and youth aged 5–17 years re…
Systematic review of sedentary behaviour and health indicators in school-aged children and youth
This systematic review is an update examining the relationships between objectively and subjectively measured sedentary behaviour and health indicators in children and youth aged 5–17 years. EMBASE, PsycINFO, and Medline were searched in December 2014, and date limits were imposed (≥February 2010). Included studies were peer-reviewed and met the a priori-determined population (apparently healthy children and youth, mean age: 5–17 years), interven…
Combinations of physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep
The purpose of this systematic review was to determine how combinations of physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB), and sleep were associated with important health indicators in children and youth aged 5–17 years. Online databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, SPORTdiscus, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) were searched for relevant studies examining the relationship between time spent engaging in different combinations of PA, SB, and sleep with the following h…
What Is the Relationship between Outdoor Time and Physical Activity, Sedentary Behaviour, and Physical Fitness in Children? A Systematic Review
The objective of this systematic review was to examine the relationship between outdoor time and: (1) physical activity, (2) cardiorespiratory fitness, (3) musculoskeletal fitness, (4) sedentary behaviour; or (5) motor skill development in children aged 3–12 years. We identified 28 relevant studies that were assessed for quality using the GRADE framework. The systematic review revealed overall positive effects of outdoor time on physical activity…
Racial and Ethnic Variation in the Predictors of Maternal Parenting Stress
Little is known about the causes of maternal parenting stress in the Mexican American population. We examine determinants of parenting stress among Mexican American mothers in comparison to non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black mothers. We base our analysis on Belsky's conceptual model (1984), which specifies predictors of parenting stress in three domains: maternal characteristics, child characteristics, and social context. Using data from t…

Association between Support and Maternal Stress at One Year Postpartum
Left untreated, maternal parenting stress in the first year postpartum can have serious long-term consequences for both the mother and her child. Although studies have shown that perceived support can ameliorate maternal stress, more research is needed on whether the type of support matters when measured among a diverse sample of new mothers. Data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (N = 2,412) were used to examine effects of four…

What Tension Between Fidelity and Cultural Adaptation? A Reaction to Marsiglia and Booth
This paper is a reaction to Marsiglia and Booths’ paper, Cultural Adaptation of Interventions in Real Practice Settings. In their paper, Marsiglia and Booth present the difficulty of implementing and replicating evidence-supported treatments, such as randomized clinical trials, among culturally diverse clients. Practitioners working in communities of diversity may spontaneously, rather than systematically, adapt interventions. Sampson and Torres …
Recent Criticisms of Labour History in Britain and Australia
The historian of historiographical controversy characteristically stages a contest between straw men of his own creation. As J. G. A. Pocock has noted in a different context, the rhetoric of the exercise demands that this be so.1 When our concern is with the relationship between old and new it is not possible to do justice to the complexities of each; of necessity we resort to near-caricature. With apologies having been offered at the outset, the…
Doing Time and Marking Time
Tim Rowse on Australian Liberalism and National Character
In 1968, Sir Keith Hancock argued that, as historians, we should 'know each other and know our profession far better than we do'. To this end he suggested that a sociologist of knowledge investigate the 'ex cessively inert and acquiescent profession' of history writing and teaching in Australia. In a perhaps barbed aside he reassured potential critics of the proposal amongst the profession that it would concern mainly 'matters of fact'. Presumabl…

Shifts in the Use of Population Health, Health Promotion, and Public Health
Pandemics in the Age of Twitter
BACKGROUND: Surveys are popular methods to measure public perceptions in emergencies but can be costly and time consuming. We suggest and evaluate a complementary "infoveillance" approach using Twitter during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. Our study aimed to: 1) monitor the use of the terms "H1N1" versus "swine flu" over time; 2) conduct a content analysis of "tweets"; and 3) validate Twitter as a real-time content, sentiment, and public attention trend…

Characteristics and Factors Associated with the Risk of a Nicotine Exposed Pregnancy
A Problem-Solving Therapy Intervention for Low-Income, Pregnant Women at Risk for Postpartum Depression
Postpartum Depression (PPD) occurs at higher rates among impoverished mothers than the general population. Depression during pregnancy is one of the strongest predictors of developing PPD. Research indicates that non-pharmacological interventions are effective in reducing depressive symptoms but engaging and retaining low-income mothers remains a challenge. A brief, educational intervention delivered through home visits may be an ideal setting fo…

What is the Relationship between Risky Outdoor Play and Health in Children? A Systematic Review
Risky outdoor play has been associated with promoting children’s health and development, but also with injury and death. Risky outdoor play has diminished over time, concurrent with increasing concerns regarding child safety and emphasis on injury prevention. We sought to conduct a systematic review to examine the relationship between risky outdoor play and health in children, in order to inform the debate regarding its benefits and harms. We ide…
