Challenges of using asthma admission rates as a measure of primary care quality in children: An international comparison.

Objectives: To demonstrate the challenges of interpreting cross-country comparisons of paediatric asthma hospital admission rates as an indicator of primary care quality.

Methods: We used hospital administrative data from >10 million children aged 6-15 years, resident in Austria, England, Finland, Iceland, Ontario (Canada), Sweden or Victoria (Australia) between 2008 and 2015. Asthma hospital admission and emergency department (ED) attendance rates were compared between countries using Poisson regression models, adjusted for age and sex.

Health outcomes in international migrant children: protocol for a systematic review.

Introduction: Migration status is a key determinant of health, but health outcomes among migrant children and young people (CYP), that is, those aged under 18 years, are poorly understood. A 'healthy migrant' effect has been demonstrated among adults, but evidence for the same effect in CYP is lacking. No large studies or reviews exist reporting comprehensive or holistic health outcomes among migrant CYP.

Health outcomes, healthcare use and development in children born into or growing up in single-parent households: a systematic review study protocol.

Introduction: Up to a quarter of all children globally live in single-parent households. Studies have concluded that children who grow up with continuously married parents have better health outcomes than children who grow up with single or separated parents. This is consistent for key health and development outcomes including physical health, psychological well-being and educational attainment.

A longitudinal evaluation of an intensive residential intervention (camp) for 12-16 year olds living with HIV in the UK: evidence of psychological change maintained at six month follow-up.

There are large numbers of young people with HIV globally, the majority of whom have perinatally acquired HIV (PAH). Despite evidence of lower levels of wellbeing in young people with PAH compared to HIV unaffected peers, there are few psychosocial interventions for this population. Residential interventions (camps) for young people with HIV have the potential for enhancing well-being and improving HIV-related outcomes.
