Impact of the Timed and Targeted Counselling Model on Maternal Health Continuum of Care Outcomes in Northern Uganda: Protocol of a Quasi-Experimental Study.

Background: About 287,000 women died globally during their pregnancy journey in 2020, yet most of these deaths could have been prevented. In Uganda, studies show that using Community Health Worker (CHW) visits to households with a pregnant woman can support the prevention of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. One such intervention is through the timed and targeted counselling (ttC) approach, where CHWs deliver tailored messages to mothers and their male caregivers at key stages of pregnancy.

Exploring the Relationship of Dietary Intake With Inattention, Hyperactivity, and Impulsivity, Beyond ADHD.

Objectives: This study investigates the association between dietary intake and ADHD diagnosis and its dimensions in adolescents.

Methods: In the KOALA Birth Cohort Study, 810 adolescents aged 16 to 20 years provided information on ADHD diagnosis and completed a food frequency questionnaire. Dietary patterns were extracted using Principal Component Analysis.

The Effectiveness of Trauma-Informed Parenting Programs for Traumatized Parents and Their Components: A Meta-Analytic Study.

Parents who have been exposed to trauma face distinct challenges in parenting that can lead to negative child developmental outcomes and intergenerational transmission of trauma. Parenting programs for traumatized parents seem promising, but the existing evidence on their effectiveness has not yet been synthesized. This study aimed to examine the overall effect of trauma-informed parenting programs on (a) parenting and (b) parental mental health outcomes by conducting two three-level meta-analyses.

24-hour movement behaviours in the early years, potential behavioural determinants and prospective associations with growth, motor and social-emotional development: the My Little Moves study protocol.

Introduction: The early years are a critical period for establishing healthy 24-hour movement behaviours (physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep), yet studies examining prospective associations between all 24-hour movement behaviours and young children's growth and development are lacking. The My Little Moves study aims to (1) examine the prospective association between 24-hour movement behaviours of young children (ie, 0-4 years) and their growth, motor and social-emotional development; and (2) explore potential determinants of young children's 24-hour movement behaviours from an ecological perspective, to inform public health strategies aimed at promoting healthy behaviours and development.

Methods And Analysis: My Little Moves is a longitudinal observational cohort study, with data collection at baseline, and after 9 and 18 months follow-up.
