- Adequate housing significantly reduces the risk of severe diarrhea, a critical health issue in low- and middle-income countries.
- The study focused on the connection between housing features and severe diarrhea outcomes in Brazilian municipalities, assessing data from 2000 to 2012 for 5,570 municipalities.
- Results showed that under-5 children’s diarrhea deaths were most strongly influenced by housing factors, particularly waste management, which outperformed traditional WASH elements in predicting gastrointestinal health outcomes.
Advances in the future communication technologies and capabilities of new services in heterogeneous network systems have increased the need for modelling and analysing various aspects of both the resilience of networked systems and usability from the user's point of view. We extend the traditional network reliability theory to cover a wider scope of quality requirements and applications. The proposed method can be used to model the resilience of different structured networks, and the quality of information services.

The ERICA project is a pan-European training programme that equips non-specialist threshold practitioners with knowledge and skills to prevent and detect child maltreatment. This paper describes and presents the findings of a rapid review of good practice examples across seven participating countries including local services, programmes and risk assessment tools used in the detection and prevention of child maltreatment in the family.

- Child maltreatment (CM) is a well-studied issue, yet there is a lack of effective tools for assessing CM risks in families.
- The study discusses the development of the Family Needs Checklist (FNC), an evidence-based mobile application designed for primary prevention that involves literature review, risk factor identification, and input from a multidisciplinary team.
- The FNC serves as a self-referral tool for parents or caregivers, featuring risk factors related to parents, families, and children, alongside resources and recommendations for protective support services.
Parental empowerment has been related to their well-being and self-efficacy. Learning more about the signs describing child maltreatment risk are crucial for the welfare of children and families. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of child maltreatment (CM) and related worrying factors of parents and associations between the CM risk, worries and parental empowerment.
