This study presents the validation of the parent version of the Inventory of School Attendance Problems (ISAP-P), which assesses a broad spectrum of symptoms associated with school attendance problems. A model with 49 items loading on 13 factors derived from the child version showed an acceptable fit ( = 296). Correlations with other measures indicated convergent and discriminant validity of the scales, but associations with the extent of school absences were not detected. Concordant scales of the child vs. parent version were correlated in the expected directions, but some scales showed low interrater agreement. Albeit these initial results support the validity of the ISAP parent version, further studies on its psychometric properties as well as on children's and parents diverging views on SAPs are needed.

A key component of the surveillance system for congenital hypothyroidism is ensuring a regular treatment program for affected children.

Background: Hepatitis B immunoprophylaxis reduces the rate of mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus infection and has effectively reduced the global burden of the hepatitis B virus infection. However, the cost of hepatitis B immunoglobulin could be prohibitive hampering adequate utilization in pregnancy and childbirth. Cost may affect pregnant women's willingness to pay (WTP) for the immunoglobulin.

Purpose: Sarcomas account for approximately 10-15% of all cancer in children aged ≤ 16. Poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is recorded in comparison to other cancers; however, these studies are limited by generic HRQoL measures not being specific to patients with sarcoma. The aim of this study was to develop paediatric version of the Sarcoma Assessment Measure (SAM).
