Environmental Influences on the Behavioural and Emotional Outcomes of Children
Exceeding Mn levels is potentially toxic and has been identified to be associated with worse externalized children's behavioural health and emotional well-being. Future studies are necessary to find the exposure paths so that advice shall be provided to family and care providers in public health and environmental protection
Exposure to Toenail Heavy Metals and Child Behavior Problems in Nine-Year-Old Children
Regular monitoring and assessments of children for environmental risk factors, as well as social and lifestyle factors for behavior problems, continues. Alternative indicators of exposure to heavy metal should be evaluated
Mercury Exposure in Mother-Children Pairs in A Seafood Eating Population
Background: Mercury is a neurotoxin that affects neurodevelopment in children; however, its association at the lowest concentration is not clear. The main objective of this study is to measure and evaluate mercury concentrations in mother-child pairs and its association demographics, lifestyle, and dietary factors within the Pacific Island Families living in Auckland, New Zealand. Methods: Mercury exposure was assessed in a sub-sample of mother-c…
Household Smoking Status and Heavy Metal Concentrations in Toenails of Children
There is limited evidence on the distribution of heavy metals and its association with secondhand smoking (SHS) within Pacific Island children living in New Zealand. Certain heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and aluminum (Al) bioaccumulates in the body and can deteriorate health in both children and adults. Others, such as chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) in trace amounts are necessary but become toxic at high levels. Exposure routes of …
The Importance of Pedestrian Network Connectivity for Adolescent Health
The research aim was to investigate associations between objectively-assessed built environment attributes and metabolic risk in adolescents of Pacific Islands ethnicity, and to consider the possible mediating effect of physical activity and sedentary time. Youth ( n = 204) undertook a suite of physical assessments including body composition, blood sampling, and blood pressure measurements, and seven day accelerometry. Objective measures of the n…
Acculturation of Pacific mothers in New Zealand over time
Understanding the patterns and trajectories of acculturation over time, and its key determinants, is necessary for the development of appropriate targeted health policy and care in typically vulnerable and marginalised immigrant populations
Pacific Islands Families Study
The Pacific Islands Families study follows a cohort of 1,398 Pacific infants born in Auckland, New Zealand. This article examines associations between maternal acculturation, measured by an abbreviated version of the General Ethnicity Questionnaire, and selected infant and maternal health risk indicators. Findings reveal that those with strong alignment to Pacific culture had significantly better infant and maternal risk factor outcomes than thos…
Parenting Practices Among Fathers of a Cohort of Pacific Infants in New Zealand
This study examined the nurturing and harsh disciplinary parenting practices of fathers of a cohort of Pacific children born in New Zealand. At the 12-month measurement point, 823 fathers completed a modified version of the Parent Behavior Checklist comprising 15 items, 10 forming a Nurturing subscale and 5 forming a Harsh Discipline subscale. Findings revealed that a majority of Pacific fathers never or rarely used harsh discipline with their 12…

Do perceptions of neighbourhood problems contribute to maternal health
Maternal Self‐Report of Oral Health in 4‐Year‐Old Pacific Children from South Auckland, New Zealand
Many mothers and their Pacific children have poor basic oral hygiene and dietary practices that increase the oral health risk in these children. Culturally appropriate and targeted strategies aimed at these modifiable practices need to be widely promoted so that the oral health burden carried by Pacific children can be reduced
Pacific Islands Families Study
Using data from the “Pacific Islands Families: the first two years of life (PIF) study”, this paper explores the factors associated with the living arrangements of mothers with a one‐year‐old Pacific child. Three living arrangements are considered: (1) those children who live with immediate family members only; (2) children who live with extended family members including at least one of their grandparents; and (3) children who live with extended …
Prevalence and concordance of interpersonal violence reports from intimate partners
Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an increasingly significant public health issue. Few studies investigate both partners’ reports of such violence. Aim: To determine the prevalence of IPV perpetration and victimisation and the concordance of both partners’ reports of that violence in a representative sample of Pacific couples using a standardised measure. Methods: A cohort of Pacific infants born during 2000 in Auckland, New Zealand,…
Participation in Home Therapy Programs for Children with Cerebral Palsy
In this grounded theory study, the authors purposed to generate a conceptual model of the experience of parents and therapists involved in home therapy programs for children with cerebral palsy. There were 12 participants: 4 therapists and 8 parents. Through constant comparative method of analysis, a process emerged interpreted as the compelling challenge comprising two time-distinct phases that described the parents' journey of adjustment and th…

Children's Reception Centre, Mersham, Kent. Interim Report, 1948
This report describes the first nine months' work in an experimental reception centre for children deprived of normal home life, set up by the Caldecott Community, with the help and co-operation of the Nuffield Medical Foundation and the Kent County authorities.It was intended to provide a working model for other centres likely to be established -as a result of the-recommendations of the Curtis Committee and the Children Act, 1948.The question of…
