▼ This dissertation uses a variety of interpretive methods to complement and enlarge existing research on mothers’ communication about and perceptions of their role in children’s nutrition. I explore the views of 28 mothers of different ages, socioeconomic status, races, and education levels residing in the Bryan/College Station area in central Texas on healthy nutrition and the ways they perceive their own role and responsibility in providing healthy nutrition for their children; how they communicate about it; what shapes their beliefs and understandings; where they get and how do they exchange nutritional information; what barriers and challenges they face; and how they negotiate multiple issues of risk associated with food and eating. By providing an overview of the media landscape and an environmental scan of the current public discourse pertaining to childhood nutrition I identify two main types of stories featured in the popular media: (1) the largely predominant body of media stories, which underscore mothers’ culpability and responsibility and even demonize mothers in the context of childhood nutrition, while rarely bringing important genetic, socio-economic, and environmental factors into discussion, and (2) a relatively small body of media reports and commentary that are solution-oriented rather than critical in nature. With these predominant societal discourses in mind, I use a grounded theory approach to analyzing qualitative data and provide a conceptual framework of the study participants’ communication about and perceptions of their role in children’s nutrition. This conceptual framework shows the effects of the burden of blame and responsibility stemming from the larger societal discourses on the mothers in my sample; how their perceptions of risk and susceptibility in relation to nutrition shape their information-seeking and receiving practices; which sources of information they find most and least reliable; how they communicate to others about healthy nutrition for children; and the role different relevant actors play in these processes. Based on the findings of this study, I firmly believe that mothers’ voices should be more prominently featured in discussions about childhood nutrition, not only in private contexts, but also on the social and political levels, because mothers possess a unique wealth of experience and knowledge in this domain. By expanding the range of mothers’ voices, often obscured by the media sensationalism, we can enrich our understandings of healthy nutrition for children and families, and make the necessary structural and societal changes to improve it.

▼ Background: Mortality in African children is unacceptably high. Providing free health care to young children has been hypothesized to improve access to health care and lead to better health outcomes. However, there have been only few methodologically robust studies testing this hypothesis. This study examined the impact of free healthcare provided to a birth cohort of children born from March, 2005 to June, 2006 in Butajira DSA (Demographic Surveillance Area) through the C-MaMiE project (Child outcomes in relation to Maternal Mental health in Ethiopia), in comparison to three cohorts of user fee children (children born within 2.5 years before and after the intervention and parallel with the intervention). Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of making health care services free at the point of use upon under-fives mortality. Methods: This controlled quasi-experimental study compared intervention cohort, children born in Butajira from March, 2005 to June, 2006 and received free health care provided by the C-MaMiE project, from pre-birth (pregnancy) to 12 months, and from 24 to 60 months, and three comparison cohorts of children born in the same geographical area (2.5 years before, during and after the intervention). The crude and adjusted under-five mortality in the intervention cohort versus the comparison cohorts was evaluated using Cox regression model. Result: Incidence of under-five mortality was 15.7 (12.3-20.0), 98.7 (88.3-110.3), 41.2 (35.248.2) and 39.3 (33.5-46.1) per 1000 person-years of observation children provided free, user fee before intervention, user fee during intervention and user fee after intervention health care services, respectively. The risk of under-five mortality among user fee children (before, during and after the intervention) were 5.87 (4.47-7.72), 2.45 (1.84-3.28), and 2.72 (2.03-3.66) times higher than those provided freely, respectively. Maternal death (AHR=2.10; 95% CI; 1.363.23), rural residence (AHR=0.56; 95% CI; 0.44-0.72) and death of elder child (AHR=1.28; 95% CI; 1.01-1.61) were also found to be independent predictors of under-five mortality. Conclusion and recommendation: There was a slow decrement of early childhood mortality in the study area and was relatively high among user fee children, even compared to the after arm comparison cohort whereby lower mortality is expected, and health policy makers should give more emphasis on abolition of user fee health care services as it is one of the methods which significantly reduce under five mortality.

▼ Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are defined as abuse, neglect and other traumatic events that are experienced by individuals under the age of 18. The historic landmark ACE study showed as the number of ACEs increase, the risk for health problems also increases in a strong and graded fashion. The ACE study also found a relationship between the number of traumatic childhood experiences and the health and well-being of the individual as an adult.The present study examined the prevalence of ACEs in an adult cohort from an urban community health center and the association between the number of ACEs and poor diabetic control as well as social demographic characteristics of the cohort. The study involved administering the validated ACE questionnaire to 112 subjects and recording the latest A1C test result. The cohort ranged in age from 25 to 78 years, 65% were black and 29% were white, 45% had more than a high school education. ACE score ranged from 0 to 9 with a mean score of 2.8 (SD, 2.3) with 14% having a score of 0; 21% with a score of 1; 16% with a score of 2; 17% with a score of 3; and 32% with a score of = 4. A1C ranged from 5.0 to 13.4 with a mean of 7.9 (SD, 1.8). Comparing A1C and ACE to social demographics showed gender to be significant with a mean A1C for females of 7.7 (SD, 1.5) compared to males 8.2 (SD, 2.2) with a p-value of 0.021. ACE mean for females was 3.3 (SD, 2.4) compared to males 2.2 (SD, 2.0) with a p-value of .011. Incidences of ACEs by gender were also found to be significant with women recalling more incidences of sexual abuse (p=0.001) and emotional neglect (p=0.020). Incidences of ACEs by race/ethnicity was significant for physiological abuse (p=0.049), parental divorce (p=0.006), witnessing maternal violence (p=0.025) and household criminal activity (p=0.052) between whites and blacks and significant for physical abuse between blacks and others (p=0.035). Incidences of ACEs by educational level was significant for recalling household criminal activity between those who had less than a high school degree compared to those with more than a high school degree (p=0.006). Total A1C was significantly influenced by the ACE category of psychological abuse (p=0.053). The present study found a significantly higher prevalence of ACEs compared to the original landmark ACE study. It was also found that A1C and ACE items were related to social demographics. These findings support the need for further research to determine if social demographic related interventions could reduce the health effects of ACEs.

▼ The Association Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Educational Outcomes Among Children Ages 6-17 INTRODUCTION: Adverse Childhood Experiences or ACEs have been at the forefront of conversations regarding early childhood and youth development in recent years. The term adverse childhood experience refers to potentially traumatic events that occur during childhood which can have negative, lasting effects on health and wellbeing (Child Trends Research Brief, 2016).Adverse childhood experiences are not reserved to an individual’s physical health. ACEs also have psychological implications, and can affect an individual’s learning capacity and behavior (Burke, Hellman, Scott, Weems, and Carrion, 2011). Emerging research links adverse childhood experiences to poor learning outcomes and behavioral challenges in children (Burke, Hellman, Scott, Weems, and Carrion, 2011). AIM: This study will look at two educational outcomes, ‘caring about doing well in school’ and ‘doing all required homework’, to determine how ACEs affect those outcomes. The goal is to understand what particular aspects of the educational process are disrupted when a child faces an adverse experience. METHODS: Data were obtained from the 2011-2012 National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH). The study sample included 65,593 children between the ages of 6 and 17 years of age. Descriptive characteristics and adverse childhood experiences were reported by parents who served as proxy respondents for selected children. Parents also reported on two educational outcomes ‘child cares to do well in school’ and ‘child does all required homework’. Prevalence estimates were collected for descriptive characteristics and adverse childhood experiences. Multiple logistic regression models were used to determine the weighted adjusted and unadjusted odds ratios for the association between exposure to adverse childhood experiences and the two educational outcomes ‘caring to do well in school’ and ‘does all required homework’. RESULTS: The results suggest significant associations between exposure to adverse childhood experiences and a decreased likelihood of ‘caring to do well in school’ and ‘doing all required homework’ in both males and females. Male children exposed to two (OR=0.52, CI: 0.18-0.45), three (OR=0.28, CI: 0.18-0.45), and four or more ACEs (OR=0.26, CI: 0.18-0.38) were less likely to care about doing well in school when compared to males exposed to zero ACEs after adjustments for confounding. Females exposed to two (OR=0.57, CI: 0.34-0.97) and four or more (OR=0.22, CI: 0.12-0.39) ACEs were less likely to care about doing well in school when compared to female children exposed to zero ACEs after adjustments for confounding. Male children exposed to one ACE (OR=0.66, CI: 0.47-0.93), two ACEs (OR=0.45, CI: 0.30-0.65), three ACEs (OR=0.37, CI: 0.23-0.58), and four or more ACEs (OR=0.21, CI: 0.14-0.31) were less likely to do all required… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Shanta R.

▼ India has one of the lowest immunization rates of any country in the world, and accounts for more than 20 percent of the child deaths under 5 years of age worldwide. Poor vaccination coverage has been identified as one of the leading causes of high child mortality rates in India, despite the government’s longstanding free Universal Immunization Program. The overarching aim of this dissertation research was to identify barriers to receiving the recommended vaccinations among Indian children, using the District Level Household and Facility Survey Data, 2007-08. The first study investigated the association between socio-cultural characteristics and risk of under-vaccination and non-vaccination. The results suggested that the reasons for under- and non-vaccination in India were similar. Inequities in vaccination coverage among social and religious groups were clearly evident after controlling for all the traditional risk factors of vaccination. The second study examined vaccination timeliness utilizing data from children both with and without a vaccination card in a novel application of an existing statistical methodology. Vaccine administration at the recommended time or by the maximum recommended age is considered timely. The results indicated that relatively small percentages (approximately 35%) of Indian children received vaccinations at the ages recommended by India’s national immunization schedule. Furthermore, the state-specific analysis found that considerable variation in vaccination probabilities existed across Indian states. The third paper examined state-level factors that influence childhood vaccination, controlling for individual-level confounders. Average population served by a primary health center and the state-level poverty were variables which explained some of the between state variability in full-vaccination coverage. Additionally, the association of religion with vaccination was found to depend on the percent Muslim population in a state. The findings of this dissertation research further the current knowledge regarding the drivers of childhood vaccinations in India, and demonstrate a novel application of a known methodology for studying vaccination timeliness to assess vaccination program performance; these results may help to shape interventions that reduce disparities in full vaccination among children of different demographic/cultural groups.

▼

The dietary habits changed drastically since 1980 and the chemical composition of a lot of processed foods was altered to meet new requirements. This nutrition shift along with the industrialisation and the rise of the sedentary lifestyle, led to the spread of the obesity epidemic which still manifests in many countries, including European. Children are also affected from this epidemic, with the childhood overweight and obesity trends to grow. The OECD children average for 2017 reached a 15.5%. However, in each country different factors contribute to the manifestation of the phenomenon, composing its unique obesogenic environment. In the current thesis proposal, exploratory statistical modeling is employed, to identify the non-biological factors explaining children's weight for the Netherlands. The analysis is conducted with the use of a custom framework to capture factors which are linked with societal inequities. The outcome of this analysis is a group of factors which explain the weight in preschool children. Also, significant results for preschool children are derived by comparing different screening definitions for overweight and obesity, showing the clusters of risk-prone children. By using the insights from the analysis, data informed policies are proposed to aid the creation of a healthier urban environment for future population to thrive in. Data informed policies based on governmental data for the Netherlands can facilitate the decision making and make prevention and mitigation of the epidemic more effective, by targeting appropriately different population segments which are in need. Future research could focus on prediction models of obesity based on the significant factors identified in this study. Also, the expansion of the current models with more variables from the urban environment is needed to show more specific associations with urban features.

▼ Being a widespread development barrier, childhood autism will cause developmental delay in patients at all levels in terms of gross motor, fine movement, self-care ability of daily living, cognitive development, language development as well as emotional control, and will affect the patientsâ education and future employment. According to the statistics in Taiwan during recent years, people with autism are the fastest developing group among all groups of somatopsychic disturbance. Meanwhile, because of the big change and difference of the patientâs condition, family members and the medical personnel also feel uncertain about education and treatment. Although the research on treatment of autism has been rapidly growing during recent years, there are few research works issued in relation to the usage of autism resource. In this research, files with the theme ârehabilitationâ between 2008 and 2010 are selected from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwanâs Health Care System for analysis on the difference between childhood autism and childhood nonautism groups, in terms of usage of rehabilitation resource and for establishing a predicted regression model. The childhood autism group comprises 6% of the total number of rehabilitation patients; however, in terms of the times of single declaration, it is higher than the childhood nonautism group by approximately 8%. In terms of annual average times of usage and the total usage points, the childhood autism group is 2.5â2.6 times higher than other childhood nonautism groups. In terms of the difference in resource usage among the years, there is significant growth from 2008 to 2009, but the growth from 2009 to 2010 is not obvious. The predictive factors with significant differences for resource usage by childhood autism group comprise points of single declaration, which include gender, special identities, school age, hospital levels, teaching hospitals, districts, and years; annual average times of usage, which include special identities, school age, teaching hospitals, and years; and total annual points of usage, which include special identities, school age, hospital levels, and years.

▼ Background: Research suggests family-based programs for the prevention and control of childhood obesity can significantly reduce child body mass index and increase healthy behaviors; yet, low parent engagement frequently hinders the implementation of these programs. This dissertation examined factors affecting parent engagement in a family-based childhood obesity prevention and control program conducted in Imperial County, CA. Methods: This dissertation study was ancillary to a multi-sector, multi-component childhood obesity prevention and control demonstration study named Our Choice, Nuestra Opcion. The ancillary study used a prospective, mixed-methods approach to examine parent engagement in one component of Our Choice, a Family Wellness Program which included 9 healthy lifestyle workshops and 8 physical activity workshops led by community health workers. Self-report surveys were administered to 128 parents assigned to the Family Wellness program at baseline, or prior to the start of intervention activities. The survey assessed hypothesized predictors of engagement including readiness to change, perceived relevance of the intervention, and family functioning. Anthropometric data (height and weight) and sociodemographic characteristics of both the parent and child were also collected at baseline. Attendance was recorded throughout the duration of the Family Wellness Program. A sub-set of parents (n=22) were interviewed following the scheduled completion of the Family Wellness program to assess their experiences in the program and to identify factors that influenced their level of engagement. Results: Results of quantitative analyses indicate parents’ readiness to change their own health behaviors and their weight-related parenting strategies was the strongest predictor of their engagement in the Family Wellness Program. Child behavioral health issues also played a role in parent engagement. Qualitative analysis of interview data showed that parent engagement may also be influenced by the level of support and enthusiasm received from the participating child. Conclusions: This study elucidated the experiences of parents enrolled in family-based childhood obesity prevention and control programs. Results indicate that engagement may be improved by targeting parents’ readiness to make changes during recruitment and early in the intervention. Also, parent engagement may be improved by implementing strategies to improve the participating child’s attitudes towards the program. Overall, this dissertation has identified several potentially modifiable influences on engagement.

▼ Physical activity is important for obesity prevention. Given that the prevalence of obesity among Canadian children has substantially increased over recent decades, and that obesity has substantial consequences for health and wellness, physical activity promotion continues to be a priority for public health. This thesis research aims to further our understanding of children’s behavioural patterns where they relate to physical activity and obesity. It also aims to identify factors and effective strategies that increase physical activity among children. These aims were assessed through six interconnected research papers. In the first paper we demonstrated that consideration should be given to activities not captured by pedometers as adjusting crude pedometer-measured steps for these activities substantially improved the ability to accurately assess children’s physical activity levels, and to identify children who were obese. In the second paper we revealed that policy makers should consider targeting physical activity in girls, and outside of school as these variables and time periods were characterized by low activity. In the third and fourth papers we showed that parental beliefs and support for physical activity were positively related to children’s physical activity achieved on weekend days, and negatively associated with childhood overweight. In the fifth paper we demonstrated that school programs that support physical activity through positive environments, curriculum, policy, and partnerships lead to improvements in children’s physical activity both during and beyond school. In the last paper, we revealed that programs implemented in schools located in disadvantaged neighbourhoods reduced inequalities in physical activity. Furthermore, we found that although the programs were implemented school-wide and did not specifically target student subgroups, they were effective in increasing physical activity relatively evenly among low-active, active, and high-active students. Likewise they relatively evenly reached normal weight and overweight students, and those of distinct socioeconomic backgrounds. The results of this thesis provide researchers and policy makers with new evidence on important determinants of physical activity in children from an Albertan context. They also underline the importance of supporting strategies for physical activity promotion and specifically school health programs as these improve physical activity, reduce obesity prevalence rates and diminish health inequalities.

▼ Many studies reported that childhood abuse and stress play contributory roles in the development and maintenance of disordered eating behaviors. However, these studies made no mentioned efforts to validate their self-report data, and thus failed to separate the effects of actuality versus perception of childhood abuse. Thus, the current study examined how perceptions of childhood abuse and life stress affect binge eating behavior among university students. Participants for the current study included 173 undergraduate students, recruited via Study Board. After giving verbal consent, participants completed a series of surveys and questionnaires that collected demographic data, and measured perception of abuse, perceived stress levels and binge eating activity. Upon completion, participants were given either course credits or extra credits, to be given at the discretion of their professors. Results indicated that all of the hypotheses were supported. There were significant differences between the perception of abuse and the perceived life stress conditions (respectively). Furthermore, both of the independent variables were shown to be predictive of binge eating behavior. However, there was no interaction effect between the two independent variables. Moreover, these two variables did not moderate each other in terms of predicting binge eating behavior among university students. Findings from this study indicated that perceptions of childhood abuse and recent life stress are both predictive of binge eating activity among university students, which was highest among individuals with a perceived history of childhood abuse. While findings from this study showed a correlation between perception of abuse and binge eating behavior, they did not show a correlation between reporting of actual incidents of childhood abuse and binge eating behavior. There were a number of limitations to the study, including limited generalizability of the findings, limited reliability of self-report measures, and any confounding of analyzed data due to order effect. Future studies are encouraged to further explore the relationship between perception and actuality of childhood abuse. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Frederick G. Grieve (Director), Dr. Amy M. Brausch, Dr. Elizabeth L. Jones.

▼ The dissertation consists of two applied health economics studies on early childhood environment and the short- and long-term health outcomes. The first study uses detailed birth registries and health insurance claims records from Taiwan to examine the effects of exposure to adverse events while in utero on pregnancy outcomes. My coauthors and I study the impact of the 1999 Taiwan earthquake on fetal mortality and pregnancy outcomes. We compare the pregnancy outcomes of women who resided in areas with high earthquake intensity (i.e., higher on the Seismic scale) to those who resided in areas with low earthquake intensity, and compare pregnancies that were exposed to the earthquake to those pregnancies that were not exposed to the earthquake. Our results suggest that the incidence of fetal mortality increases by 4.4 and 3.2 percent for those who have in utero exposure to the earthquake in the most earthquake-affected regions during the first and second trimesters, respectively. We find that almost all of the losses that occur during first-trimester exposure are due to the loss of male fetuses. The second study explores the relationship between early childhood environment and mental health later in life. I examine the impact on psychological well-being later in life of poor intrauterine environment caused by severe typhoons that took place in Taiwan. By exploiting time and regional variation, I compare the mental health of individuals who were exposed to severe typhoons while in utero in landfall counties to those who had no fetal exposure to severe typhoons. I find that the likelihood of mental disorders in adulthood resulting from fetal exposure to severe typhoons increased by 11. Exposed individuals are also more likely to use psychiatric drugs and have more psychiatric-related healthcare utilization. The effects are most prominent for women. My results suggest that natural disasters could have adverse impacts beyond infant health and adult physical health. Advisors/Committee Members: Liu, Elaine M.

▼ Early life adversity, such as childhood maltreatment, promotes physiological and physical dysregulation throughout the lifespan, increasing vulnerability to negative health outcomes. The stress associated with childhood maltreatment, which includes physical abuse, physical neglect, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and sexual abuse inflicted by an older person or an adult towards a child, promotes an exaggerated physiological and psychological response to threats. Specifically, early life stress causes increases in chronic inflammation, which is associated with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. In addition to increased physiological dysregulation (i.e., elevated inflammation), childhood maltreatment is associated with psychological dysregulation (i.e., depression), which may further contribute to disease later in life. Given the impact that early life adversity has on adverse health outcomes, it is important to identify how childhood maltreatment affects physiological and psychological dysregulation, especially for populations facing stress. Spousal bereavement ranks as the most stressful life event and is associated with elevated inflammation, depressive symptoms, and grief symptoms. Understanding how childhood maltreatment interacts with psychological and physiological mechanisms to predict inflammation, depressive symptoms, and grief symptoms will provide a useful direction in forecasting physical and mental health outcomes among a highly stressed, bereaved population. Individual differences in vagally-mediated heart rate variability, an index of an individual’s self-regulatory ability, may partially explain the relationship between childhood maltreatment and poor physiological (i.e., elevated inflammation) and psychological dysregulation (i.e., depression and grief) among a highly stressed population. Examining changes in inflammation, depressive symptoms, and grief symptoms throughout the bereavement experience may be prognostic of individuals who are more vulnerable to adverse health outcomes following the death of a spouse. Given the role that self-regulation may have in moderating the relationships between childhood maltreatment and inflammation, depressive symptoms, and grief severity, different emotion regulation strategies could also moderate these relationships. Thus, identifying the risk and resilience factors that underlie how childhood maltreatment impacts physiological and psychological dysregulation can be an influential factor in forecasting physical and mental outcomes among a highly stressed, bereaved population.

▼ A beautiful smile can be jeopardised by oral diseases such as dental caries, which is considered to be one of the most prevalent human diseases. Early Childhood Caries is a type of dental caries that affects children under the age of six and is the most prevalent disease of childhood. The aetiology of dental caries is complex with social, biological and dietary factors underlying development of the disease. Parental knowledge and attitudes towards oral health may have an effect on their children’s oral health. Health care providers can play a significant role in oral health promotion for children in the primary care setting. The main aim of this research is to establish the evidence for the need for an oral health promotion program for preschool children in Qatar. A secondary aim of this research is to assess the need for and acceptability of an oral health promotion program, the “Beautiful Smile Project”, in primary health centres and kindergartens in Qatar. This project used a multi-method research strategy and presents results from four interlinking investigations. The first study was an epidemiological study to substantiate the prevalence of early childhood caries. The second and third studies involved surveying mothers and health professionals in relation to their knowledge, attitude and practices around oral health of preschool children. The last study employed a qualitative approach and included interviews and focus groups of mothers and health professionals to assess their opinions about the need for an oral health promotion program, “The Beautiful Smile Project”. The results showed that early childhood caries was a significant problem with a prevalence of 89% and dmft of 7.5. The surveys showed that there was good level of oral health knowledge and relatively positive attitudes towards oral health of young children. However, there is a need for improvement in the practices related to oral health. The results showed that there was significant lack of oral health services directed to children five years and younger. The vast majority of participants in the qualitative study knew the problem of early childhood caries and were seeking ways to manage it. The results of this research showed the need for a health promotion program, offered constructive views to the barriers identified and reflected a wide acceptability for the “Beautiful Smile Project”

▼ Background: Traumatic life events are those that involve threatened or actual harm to an individual or close other, and to which they respond with intense feelings of helplessness or terror. Traumatic experiences pose risks to mental health, with exposure to maltreatment in childhood strongly associated with poorer adult psychological wellbeing. Sexual abuse in childhood appears to be a risk for mental health problems among women who are pregnant or have recently given birth. However methodological shortcomings characterise this research, and the impact of other forms of abuse and neglect in childhood, or other traumatic exposures on perinatal mental health, has been under-examined. Traumatic exposure can lead to increased risk of symptom development following the experience of a later traumatic event, in the absence of pre-existing Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Emerging research has investigated whether PTSD can occur as a result of a difficult childbirth experience. However the possible contribution of prior lifetime exposure to trauma to the development of postnatal trauma symptoms has not been investigated. The relationship between traumatic exposure and symptom development is moderated by individual factors including personality and social factors. Style of relationship functioning, or attachment is likely to be particularly relevant. A secure, or healthy, attachment style may moderate the adverse effects of trauma in the perinatal period. Method: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted in a cohort of women recruited in late pregnancy from large public and private maternity hospitals in Melbourne, Australia. Nulliparous, pregnant women over the age of 18, with sufficient English fluency and ability to provide consent, were invited to participate consecutively. Data was collected by structured telephone interviews in the third trimester of pregnancy, and at 6 weeks postpartum. Standardized self-report questionnaires were administered to assess history of childhood maltreatment and lifetime trauma exposure, as well as known risk factors for poorer perinatal mental health including history of mental health problems, quality of intimate partner relationship, and availability of social support. Postnatal interviews assessed symptoms of depression and PTSD, as well as obstetric outcomes and subjective appraisal of the birth. Results: Of the 368 women who were eligible and invited, 213 (58%) undertook the first interview. Of these, 208 (98%) provided complete data. The study sample was representative of all women who gave birth in Victoria at the time, in terms of marital status, ethnicity and health insurance status but were older, more highly educated and more were in professional occupations. In univariate analyses, experiences of childhood emotional and physical abuse and neglect were significantly associated with more severe antenatal symptoms of depression and anxiety (p < 0.001 to 0.04). Neglect was associated with postnatal symptoms of depression (p = 0.033 and 0.003). No forms of…

▼ In Australia, less than 17% of children requiring treatment access a mental health service (Sawyer et al., 2000). In rural areas, access rates are even lower, and mental health services are not readily available. Treatment in the city can involve significant travel and time away from home, and services can only be brief and intense. The current project involves the development and preliminary evaluation of one of Australia’s first online treatments for parents of children with behavioural disorders. This thesis was primarily concerned with enhancing the reach of parent training interventions and evaluating the efficacy of an alternative online format.Phase one of this project involved developing an online system for measuring engagement and change in relation to an online version of an existing treatment (Dadds & Hawes, 2006). This included development of an interactive measurement system within the online platform to assess parenting style, child behaviour, engagement patterns and client satisfaction. With limited opportunities to directly observe families engaging in treatment online, systematically measuring training effectiveness has become more challenging. Thus the second phase of the thesis involved the development and validation of a new change measure, the Knowledge of Parenting Strategies Scale, to assess changes in parental knowledge stemming directly from engagement in this treatment. In a series of studies, N = 806 parents participated in research to develop, refine and assess the psychometric properties of the new measure.The third phase of the project involved a preliminary trial into the online platforms effectiveness, through a comparison to a matched sample of clients receiving treatment-as- usual (TAU) at the Sydney based clinic. Participants in the trial were 47 families who resided within and outside the Sydney catchment area in regional New South Wales. Families participating in the e-health group watched video modules, before connecting with a psychologist through videoconference each week. Parents in both groups indicated they were satisfied with their treatment, with parents in the e-health group indicating the website was acceptable, interesting, easy to use, efficient and innovative. E-health parents were engaged with the video modules and parents in both groups were engaged with their therapy sessions regardless of the medium. Parent’s ratings of the therapeutic alliance formed was equivalent between the two groups, while clinician’s ratings were significantly higher for the e-health group. Overall clinicians spent less time treating e-heath families and indicated feeling more empowered and having higher self-efficacy to treat TAU families.At post-assessment, parents in both groups indicated significantly lower levels of dysfunctional parenting and problematic child behaviour, and higher levels of confidence, self-efficacy and knowledge of effective parenting strategies. Importantly, the two treatment modalities were found to produce equivalent outcomes, demonstrating Internet-based parent… Advisors/Committee Members: Dadds, Mark, Psychology, Faculty of Science, UNSW, Kimonis, Eva, Psychology, Faculty of Science, UNSW.

▼ As individual-level explanations have generally proven insufficient for explaining racial differences in health, researchers have increasingly turned to residential contexts as a source of population health disparities. Residential segregation is a key defining characteristic of the American landscape and a powerful force for explaining racial inequality. Furthermore, segregation has been found to be a key explanatory mechanism for understand racial disparities in health through its impact on individual and neighborhood level socioeconomic status, discrimination and race-related stressors, and neighborhood quality. In this dissertation, I draw on life course perspectives and stress process models of health to explore how the distribution of social contexts along racial divisions are associated with physical health outcomes among children. Using longitudinal data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey Kindergarten Class of 1998-1999 data (ECLS-K), I address three specific research questions regarding the role of residential segregation on child well-being. First, what is the relationship between residential segregation and child health outcomes such as obesity, asthma, and parent-rated health, and are the effects of segregation cumulative over the early life course? Second, how do neighborhood racial/ethnic tensions and social cohesion work in tandem to influence child health, and do these impacts vary by race? Third, does residential segregation exacerbate the negative effects of family stressful events on health outcomes for school-aged children? I find that the relationship between segregation and physical well-being varies by race, and cumulative measures of segregation are more powerful predictors of childhood health than indicators captured at a single point in time. Moreover, parental involvement in school programs, as a measure of social cohesion, is protective against negative health outcomes for White and Hispanic children, even in neighborhoods characterized by high levels of racial tensions, and is more predictive for some diseases (obesity) than others (asthma). Finally, residential segregation measures do not exacerbate the negative effect of stress events on child health. Given these findings, it is apparent that the neighborhood racial context plays a key but complex role in producing and acerbating child health inequalities during the early part of the life course and may set the stage for the further entrenchment of these disparities as individuals age.

▼ Background: While there is evidence that suggests parent/caregiver involvement in activities with children can narrow the academic achievement gap for school-aged children across socioeconomic lines, there is much less research on this topic for early childhood. Methods: The objectives of this study were to: (1) Measure the association between parent/caregiver involvement and child vocabulary, language, school readiness, and social-emotional outcomes; and (2): measure the association between parent/caregiver involvement and length of time in the program. This was a cross-sectional study using data from the Educare Implementation Study (N=2469), which follows children (0-5 years of age) and families in Educare, a high-quality early learning program. Controlling for various covariates, we estimated the mean difference and 95% confidence intervals in outcome scores among different parent/caregiver involvement levels using multiple linear regression. Results: Compared to a baseline of “3-5 times” engagement in a particular activity in the past week, higher levels of parent/caregiver involvement in activities with children was generally associated with higher outcome scores though only certain activities were significantly associated when considering each type of activity. Certain activities had a threshold effect while others showed a more gradient-based relationship. Reading and items related to talking, regardless of content were significantly associated with higher scores across all outcomes. For social-emotional protective factors, items indicative of parent-child relationship, such as singing and doing arts and crafts were also shown to be important, though all had a threshold-based relationship where no involvement at all was associated with significantly lower scores. Compared to a baseline of 2 years, less time in the program was significantly associated with lower average parent/caregiver involvement: 1 year or less (-0.17: 95% CI: -0.26, -0.08) and 2 years or less (-0.10; 95% CI: -0.18, -0.02). Conclusions: Particular parent/caregiver involvement activities were associated with better child outcomes. These data suggest that parent/caregiver involvement has potential to narrow the achievement gap even beyond participation in a high early learning program and the length of time in a high-quality early learning program may impact parent involvement.

▼ Prevalence of obesity has disproportionately increased among Mexican children living in the US and Mexico. In the US, by 2014, prevalence of obesity among children of Mexican heritage was similar for US-born and Mexican born children. In Mexico, from 1999 to 2006, obesity prevalence among children ages 5 to 11 years old increased by 40%. Acculturation to the US culture has been linked to an ‘immigrant health advantage’ for foreign-born, and less acculturated Hispanic/ Latinos, and increases in obesity prevalence for the more acculturated counterparts. Modern forms of globalization have led to modern forms of communications facilitating the development of ‘meaningful interpersonal interactions’ which can also produce acculturation remotely. In lieu of the disproportionately high obesity increases among Mexican children in the US and Mexico, the objective of this dissertation is to investigate if currently, modern forms of acculturation influence obesity risks of young Mexican children living in the US and Mexico. Using the socio-ecological framework of the Six-C’s model and data from the Family-based Intergenerational Evaluation of Salivary Telomere-lengths and Acculturation (FIESTA!) study this dissertation examines the influence of maternal acculturation on early childhood obesity risks from three different perspectives. Recruitment for the FIESTA Study took place at a low-income Kindergarten in Central Mexico, and in Central Illinois. Mothers completed a questionnaire that examined their level of acculturation to the US, and Mexican cultures, as well as the family nutrition and physical activity habits, and socioeconomic characteristics. Measurements from fasting glucose, lipid profile, saliva bios, and bioelectrical impedance analyses were collected from mother-child dyads (n=113). We identified 75% of mothers and 31% of children in our sample had overweight or obesity. The first study revealed that living in the US was associated with lower child body fat (b =-1.49, p <0.05); and higher HDL-cholesterol (b =12.13, p <0.05). There was also a marginal interaction among children living in the US, suggesting that higher maternal acculturation to the Mexican culture was associated with higher child total cholesterol (p =0.07). The second study showed that among children and mothers with the lowest level of acculturation to the US, longer telomere lengths were associated with lower adiposity in weight. There were no intergenerational associations between mother’s salivary telomere lengths and their children’s adiposity and vice versa. In the last study, we identified different behaviors associated with both maternal acculturation to the US and Mexican culture, and childhood obesity risks. The association of family sleep routine with child fat mass and maternal acculturation to the US, and Mexican culture introduces a potential venue for intervention and obesity prevention. Other behaviors associated with child obesity risks included monitoring screen time, and promoting a healthy environment with opportunities for… Advisors/Committee Members: Schwingel, Andiara (advisor), Schwingel, Andiara (Committee Chair), Andrade, Flavia (committee member), Khan, Naiman (committee member), Teran-Garcia, Margarita (committee member), Wiley, Angela (committee member).

▼ The prevention of health-risk behaviors during adolescence has been regarded as a nationwide health priority because these are causally associated with chronic illness, disability, and other leading causes of death among adolescents and adults in the U.S. (Kann et al., 2016). To this end, a growing body of research supports a strong link between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and health-risk behaviors, such as alcohol and drug use, criminality, self-injury, perpetration of interpersonal violence, and self-injurious behavior (Duke et al., 2009; Layne et al., 2014). However, the behavioral and physiological consequences of being exposed to ACEs have been strikingly understudied among Latino youth. To address the gap in the literature, the purpose of this study was to investigate several mediating (i.e., adrenocortical hormones) and moderating (i.e., family cohesion, community support and social support) variables in the relation between ACEs and health-risk behaviors among Latino youth. Latino youth (N = 72) were recruited from schools and their communities and asked to provide saliva samples and complete questionnaires.Three major findings emerged. First, Traditional ACEs were higher in the current Latino youth sample than the national average but were not directly related to increased health-risk behaviors in this study. However, the prevalence of community-level ACEs was positively associated with alcohol and drug use. Second, both family cohesion and support from friends and adults moderated the association between Traditional ACEs and tobacco use. Third, preliminary empirical evidence is provided to show that exposure to ACEs affect stress hormone production and may be the mechanism by which ACEs relate to health-risk behaviors. Empirical findings such as those from this study highlight the growing need to examine ACEs in more diverse populations. The lack of direct link between ACEs and health-risk behaviors potentially speaks to the resilience, strength, and resourcefulness of Latino adolescents, and highlights the need for more research with this understudied population. Culturally relevant evidence-based programs aimed at improving health should use a strength-based approach by highlighting the cultural and personal strengths Latinos possess and explore how those could be used to cope with stressors and improve health. Policy should be focused on reducing community-level adversities by targeting the reduction of neighborhood violence and creating legislation that strengthens family units.

▼ Background. Secular trends demonstrate that young children are less active and sleep less. Inequity in an individual's energy balance is known to have poor health outcomes. Academic achievement, academic behavior, and weight status are proxy indicators for health and psychosocial outcomes in this study. Current guidelines in place for sleep and physical activity in childhood are the result of data collected in the form of self-reports. Quantification and qualification of physical activity dimensions and sleep characteristics are essential not only for the purpose of clearly establishing parameters but also for the intent of verifying optimal health outcomes and evaluating interventions related to conditions of energy balance. Purpose. The purpose of this research was to determine the relationships amongst and between the objective dimensions of physical activity, sleep, weight status, academic achievement, and academic behavior. Methods. This cross-sectional correlational descriptive design study monitored the physical activity and sleep duration for 24 hours per day for 7 consecutive days with triaxial accelerometers. Data was successfully gathered on 55 low socioeconomic income African American eight-year-olds. Weight status was measured and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Standardized scores, subjective grades from the teachers, and attendance records were obtained from the schools. A qualitative component gathered demographic information related to home life, meal habits, and play times. Results. This sample was predominantly overweight/obese. Light intensity activity accounted for 86% of their daytime hours while vigorous activity accounted for less than 1%. Moderate-vigorous activity bouts were inversely significantly correlated with the standardized reading scores. Students with failing reading scores had significantly more time per day in light activity and less time in moderate intensity activity. This sample averaged 8 hours of sleep per night. Students with failing math scores had significantly longer mean wake episodes at night. A significant difference between hours of sleep and weight status was seen. The overweight/obese child slept, on average, less than the normal weight child. Conclusions. Sleep is an important health indicator. Lack of sleep has academic implications. Different weight classifications may benefit from different interventional activities. Future studies should be conducted with larger and diverse samples.
