Parenting Interventions to Prevent and Reduce Physical Punishment: A Scoping Review.

Physical punishment is the most common form of violence against children worldwide and is associated with an increased risk of long-term adverse outcomes.

Examining adolescents' experiences of distress when participating in research on well-being and early life adversity.

Rationale: Most child well-being and childhood adversity research is informed by proxy informants such as parents or teachers rather than children and youth. This may be due to concerns about perceived sensitivity, challenges accessing and engaging with children in research, ethical considerations, and apprehensions about causing undue harm and distress. This study aimed to understand adolescents' identification of, and reactions to, questions in the context of participating in a survey of well-being and adversity.

Outbreak response capacity of the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network across WHO's South-East Asia and Western Pacific regions.

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic challenged the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network's (GOARN) mechanism used to rapidly deploy technical support for international responses and highlighted areas that require strengthened capacity within the Network. GOARN's partners in the World Health Organization's (WHO) South-East Asia and Western Pacific regions were engaged to explore their levels of preparedness, readiness and ability to respond to international public health emergencies.

Methods: Consultative discussions were held and a survey was conducted with GOARN's partners from the two WHO regions.
