Filter by:The investigators will conduct a case-control study among under-two children in Lombok Timur, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The power required to detect changes in epigenetic markers may not be sufficient in the cohort study. Therefore, specific case-control design of stunted vs non-stunted children will provide the required power to detect potential epigenetic markers which will be further investigated through targeted sequencing of the cohort study. A total of 150 stunted children will be recruited and then it will be matched with 150 non-stunted children with the same sex. The assessments for these study subjects will include: 1) The genetic and epigenetic profile of the children, gut microbiota and nutritional status (Physical component), 2) Food security, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices (Home-Food component), 3) Children's psychosocial care and cognitive outcome (Cognition component).
The goal of this study is to assess the effectiveness of social transfers on exclusive breastfeeding rates in Lao PDR. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Are social transfers effective at increasing exclusive breastfeeding rates at 6-months 2. Are social transfers cost-effective 3. What are the long-term impacts of social transfers for breastfeeding on child development Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: 1) control, no social transfer 2) non-conditional social transfer at 6-months postpartum, and 3) conditional social transfer at six months postpartum; conditional upon the mothers exclusive breastfeeding status. All participants receive education about the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding and current international recommendations. Researchers will compare the intervention groups to the control group to see if social transfers are effective at increasing exclusive breastfeeding rates at six months postpartum.
The aim of this study is to assess developmental milestones and balance in children in Pakistan. We are using Ages and Stages Questionnaire for developmental milestones and Timed up and Go test for balance.
1. Master and analyze the nutritional health, growth and development status of primary and secondary school students in Shenzhen, and discover the main nutritional health, growth and development problems and influencing factors. 2. Provide basic data and evidence-based basis for the municipal government and related departments to formulate child health policies and measures.
Epipage 2 (Epidemiological study on small gestational ages) is a prospective population-based national cohort implemented to better understand the short, mid and long term future of premature children. This study was launched on 28 March 2011 by the researchers of the EPOPé team (Perinatal, Obstetric and Pediatric Epidemiology Research) of the Epidemiology and Biostatistics Research Centre (INSERM U1153), in collaboration with the Inserm 1027 Unit (Epidemiology and Analysis in Public Health: risks, chronic diseases and handicaps) and medical teams of public health and research in 25 French regions. The study focuses on children born before 35 weeks of amenorrhea. 3 follow-up steps for children included in the cohort have already been completed at 1, 2 and 5 and a half years of age. Currently, nearly 4,000 children are still eligible for follow-up. Since the children are 9 years old, the follow-up steps are shared with those set up in another birth cohort, the Elfe cohort (Étude Longitudinale Française depuis l'Enfance, (www.elfe-france.fr) ), as part of the RE-CO-NAI project. The RE-CO-NAI project is a research platform on cohorts of children followed since birth in order to be able to study in a global and multidisciplinary way the major issues of the health, development and socialization of children. This RE-CO-NAI project was funded by the EQUIPEX 2011 call for projects as part of future investments. This protocol, which is part of the RECONAI project, concerns the fully shared follow-up phase, proposed in the 10th year for the children of the two cohorts.
The detection of developmental disorders in the child is often late because the parents do not have the information necessary to consult at the first clinical signs. For example, the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders is made at the age of 5, so earlier diagnoses are possible earlier or even in the 1st year with appropriate questionnaires. An application (Malo) has been developed to allow through regular questionnaires from 1 month to 3 years old to assess the child's development by his parents in the form of a digital health record assessing several areas at regular intervals (monthly the 1st year then every 3 to 12 months): sensory, psychomotor development, sleep, height and weight, cognitive and addictions (especially to screens). The questions will be adapted to the age of the child. An alert suggesting to consult the general practitioner or the pediatrician will be generated according to an algorithm validated by a committee of experts. Based on a study model on health data already carried out as part of the triage application for patients suspected of COVID 19 coronavirus disease.fr with 14 million users in 6 months having improved the relevance of calls to the 15 (8 times fewer unnecessary calls) and general practitioners. This study will assess parental interest in this application.
The premise of this trial is that a combined nutrition (eggs) and parenting behavior intervention (responsive parenting combined with the reinforcement of animal source foods and improved WASH) will synergistically result in improved child growth, development, and reduced enteric disease outcomes over and above a nutrition only intervention and standard well baby care. This study is a 3-arm longitudinal randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare the following groups for effectiveness in reducing young child stunted growth and enhancing overall development:1) standard well-baby care, (n=200); 2) nutrition intervention (one egg per day for 6 months), (n=200); and 3) multicomponent Grandi Byen intervention (responsive parenting, nutrition, hygiene + one egg per day for 6 months), (n=200). Infants will be enrolled between 6-8 months of age and followed longitudinally for one year.
The Supportive Parenting App is a theory-based perinatal educational intervention for couples administered through a mobile application. The intervention comprise of knowledge-based content, informational videos and audio, discussion forum, peer volunteer chat group, and a frequently asked questions (FAQ) expert advice section. The aims of the study are to: 1. develop theory-based supportive parenting App (SPA) intervention for both first-time and experienced parents across perinatal period 2. examine its effectiveness on parental outcomes: including maternal depression at 12 months postpartum (primary outcome), paternal depression, parental anxiety, parenting self-efficacy, help - seeking behavior (social support), parental bonding and parenting satisfaction (secondary outcomes); and new-born outcomes: physical, social and emotional developments (secondary outcomes) 3. evaluate SPA's cost-effectiveness as compared to standard perinatal care across major restructured hospitals, and 4. examine the perceptions of parents in receiving this intervention. When compared with those in the control group receiving standard care: 1. parents receiving SPA intervention will have better- emotional well-being (reduced depression and anxiety);parenting self-efficacy; social support; bonding and satisfaction. 2. new-borns of parents receiving SPA will have better physical, social and emotional development 3. It will be more cost-effective to provide SPA than the standard care
