An Equity-Focused Assessment of Evidence-Based Parenting Intervention Research.

Evidence-based parenting interventions (EBPI) support children and families to promote resilience, address emotional and behavioral concerns, and prevent or address issues related to child maltreatment. Critiques of EBPIs include concerns about their relevance and effectiveness for diverse populations when they are implemented at population scale. Research methods that center racial equity and include community-based participatory approaches have the potential to address some of these concerns.

Dynamics and outcomes of binary collisions of equi-diameter picolitre droplets with identical viscosities.

The dynamics of binary collisions of equi-diameter picolitre droplets with identical viscosities, varying impact speeds and impact angles have been investigated experimentally and compared to collision outcome prediction models. Collisions between pairs of pure water droplets with a viscosity of 0.89 mPa s and pairs of aqueous-sucrose (40% w/w) droplets with a viscosity of 5.

Mental/behavioural health and educational outcomes of grandchildren raised by custodial grandparents: A mixed methods systematic review.

Grandparents caring for grandchildren has increased globally in the past two decades, but we have a limited understanding of its effects on custodial grandchildren's mental/behavioural health and educational outcomes. This mixed methods systematic review aims to synthesise mental/behavioural health and educational outcomes of custodial grandchildren within custodial grandparent-headed families and with comparison to other types of household structure and further examine factors associated with these outcomes. A systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines was conducted.

Comparing aerosol number and mass exhalation rates from children and adults during breathing, speaking and singing.

Aerosol particles of respirable size are exhaled when individuals breathe, speak and sing and can transmit respiratory pathogens between infected and susceptible individuals. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought into focus the need to improve the quantification of the particle number and mass exhalation rates as one route to provide estimates of viral shedding and the potential risk of transmission of viruses. Most previous studies have reported the number and mass concentrations of aerosol particles in an exhaled plume.
