A home visit-based early childhood stimulation programme in Brazil—a randomized controlled trial
Home visiting programmes are increasingly recognized as one of the most effective interventions to improve child health and development in low-income settings. However, the best platforms to deliver such programmes remain unclear. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to test the relative effectiveness of child development agents (CDAs) and community health workers (CHWs) as two possible delivery platforms for early childhood development (EC…
Sociodemographic and access-related correlates of health-care utilization among African American injection drug users
Persons who inject drugs (PWID) may have less access to, and utilization of, health-care services, and African American PWID may be less likely than other racial groups to utilize health care in the United States. The present study evaluated the prevalence of health-care utilization (HCU) among a cohort of African American PWID in Baltimore. Data were from the 2012 Baltimore National HIV Behavioral Surveillance study. Participants were adult PWID…

Use of the PedsQL in childhood intermittent exotropia
Effects of early childhood psychosocial stimulation and nutritional supplementation on cognition and education in growth-stunted Jamaican children
Percepciones y experiencias en torno a la violencia en estudiantes de secundaria en la zona urbana de Jamaica

Nutrition and health predictors of school failure in Jamaican children
In many developing countries a large number of children do poorly in school. Little attention has been paid to the possible role of poor health and nutrition. In Kingston, Jamaica all grade 5 children from five randomly selected primary schools, who were failing (n = 158) were compared with all those who were succeeding (n = 167) in a comprehensive number of nutrition, health and socio‐economic variables. Failing children had lower heights‐for‐ag…
