This study examined which socio-demographic characteristics are associated with perceived social support among parents of children aged 0-7 years.
Method: Cross-sectional data of 1007 parents of children aged 0-7 years, gathered in the CIKEO cohort study in the Netherlands, were analysed.
Background: Dyssomnias, are the most common parent-reported sleep complaints in young children. The present study investigated the prevalence, one-year development (incidence and persistence) of dyssomnia in early childhood, and the parent, child, and family factors associated with dyssomnia.
Methods: Longitudinal data of 700 children aged 0-8, gathered in the CIKEO cohort study in the Netherlands were analyzed.
Previous studies conducted mainly among adolescents have found associations between participation in sport organised leisure-time activities (OLTAs) and mental health problems (MHP). Fewer research studies have been performed to primary school-aged children and to organised non-sport OLTAs. Therefore, the objective is to examine whether there is an association between participation in sport and non-sport OLTAs and a high risk of MHP in 4- to 12-year-olds.

- - The study assessed a community program called Promising Neighbourhoods aimed at improving youth health, safety, and reducing socioeconomic inequalities through collaboration and evidence-based interventions.
- - Using a difference-in-difference design, researchers compared outcomes in two samples from 2018 and 2021, focusing on various factors like outdoor play, health, and parenting support among children aged 0-12 in neighborhoods with and without the program.
- - Results showed a significant positive impact on outdoor play, but no substantial effects on other outcomes or differences based on socioeconomic status; the study suggests further research is needed to fully understand the program's value.
