Anthropometric Characteristics, Level of Physical Fitness, and Muscle Strength in Youngsters Attending School

Start date: June 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

It has long been believed that evaluating a child's development is essential to determining population health trends and creating effective interventions. Assessing school-age children's overall health and well-being in the 7-14 age range requires careful observation of their anthropometric metrics, physical fitness, and muscle strength. These assessments can provide insight into several physical health-related concerns during this crucial period of childhood development. Anthropometric parameters include height (in centimeters or centimeters), body mass index (BMI), skin fold measurements (which provide estimates of body fat), circumference measurements, and body weight (kg), which is typically measured in kilograms (kg). A cross-sectional descriptive study design will be used. The goal of this research is to determine how anthropometric characteristics, physical

Women Supporting Women to Improve Infant and Child Feeding Practices

Start date: September 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Undernutrition in the first 2 years of life is the largest preventable cause of death before age 5. Among those who survive, stunting before age two leaves millions with lifelong physical and cognitive deficits, which are difficult to compensate for later in life. Pakistan is home to the second largest number of stunted children in South Asia. The primary goal of this study is to rehabilitate moderately malnourished children aged 7-23 months and enable mothers to sustain this healthy growth at home by changing their infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, child care, hygiene and health-seeking behaviours.

NCT ID: NCT05370989 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Early Childhood Caries

Technology-Based Parent School Program

Start date: September 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a technology-based parent school program designed for parents of toddlers to be improved their parenting abilities. Design: A parallel group, randomized controlled trial. Method: The study will be conducted with parents whose children are between the ages of 18 and 24 months in a hospital's well-child outpatient clinic in Turkey. The study data will be analyzed using the Parent and Child Descriptive Data Form, the Parent Skill List, Toddler Skill List, and the Turkish Version of Self-Efficacy for Parenting Tasks Index-Toddler Scale. The program will be continued for 10 weeks in the intervention group and will be included five web-based modules, five online group interactions after each module, and consultation throughout the program and the follow-up period. The modules will be included topics such as the child's physical growth, cognitive and linguistic development, and social-emotional development. The modules will be supported by videos and messages. This study will be based on Meleis' Transition Theory. Hypothesis: H0-1: There is no difference in self-efficacy total scores of parents between intervention and control group. H0-2: There is no difference in parenting skill list total scores between intervention and control group. H0-3: There is no difference in the skill list total scores of toddlers according to the parents between intervention and control group. H1-1: There is a difference in self-efficacy total scores of parents between intervention and control group. H1-2: There is a difference in parenting skill list total scores between intervention and control group. H1-3: There is a difference in the skill list total scores of toddlers according to the parents between intervention and control group.

NCT ID: NCT04059185 Completed - Parenting Clinical Trials

Longitudinal Follow-up of Brief Parenting Interventions to Reduce Risk of Child Physical Maltreatment

Start date: November 5, 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Universal and broad selective parenting education programs that improve parenting skills, increase parents' understanding of child development, and teach positive child discipline strategies can prevent use of corporal punishment and child physical maltreatment. The proposed research addresses this critical need by investigating brief, relatively low-resource intensive primary prevention parenting programs that can be disseminated widely. By reducing cumulative adverse childhood experiences, which include child physical maltreatment, these interventions are expected to reduce long-term health disparities and risks for major public health problems, such as violence, smoking, obesity, drug abuse, risky sexual behavior, mental health disorders, and heart disease, among others

NCT ID: NCT04031235 Completed - Literacy Clinical Trials

Comparing Children's Books to Brochures for Safe Sleep and Infant Reading Education During Prenatal Care

Start date: February 25, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this randomized trial is to compare a specially designed children's book to brochures for safe sleep education via clinical providers at a third trimester prenatal obstetric visit. Mothers in the control group will receive a specially designed children's book regarding the importance of reading with their infant at this visit, compared to brochures. Knowledge of safe sleep and home literacy orientation will be assessed at baseline prenatally, and their first postpartum obstetric visit.

Integrated Model for Promoting Parenting and Early School Readiness in Pediatrics

Start date: June 3, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study tests a comprehensive approach to the promotion of school readiness in low-income families, beginning shortly after the birth of the child, through enhancement of positive parenting practices (and when present, reduction of psychosocial stressors) within the pediatric primary care platform. The investigators do so by integrating two evidence-based interventions: 1) a universal primary prevention strategy (Video Interaction Project [VIP]); and 2) a targeted secondary/tertiary prevention strategy (Family Check-up [FCU]) for families with infants/toddlers identified as having additional risks. VIP provides parents with a developmental specialist who videotapes the parent and child and coaches the parent on effective parenting practices at each pediatric primary care visit. FCU is a home-based, family-centered intervention that utilizes an initial ecologically-focused assessment to promote motivation for parents to change child-rearing behaviors, with follow-up sessions on parenting and factors that compromise parenting quality. Two primary care settings serving low-income communities in New York City, NY and Pittsburgh, PA will be utilized to test this integrated intervention in hospital-based clinics, providing information about translation across venues where one of the two interventions has been previously used alone. The investigators plan to test the VIP/FCU model in a randomized trial of 400 families utilizing parent surveys, observational data on parent-child interactions, and direct assessments of children's development, at key points during intervention follow-up. Analyses will address questions of program impact for the integrated program across all families and by key subgroups. The largest single contribution made by this study is to test whether an integrated primary and secondary/tertiary prevention strategy implemented in pediatric primary care can produce impacts on early school readiness outcomes, including social-emotional, pre-academic, and self-regulation. As such, this study has the potential to provide the scientific and practice communities with information about an innovative approach to promoting school readiness skills among low-income children.
