Parental disease prevention health beliefs and triggers for keeping children home from childcare —a qualitative study in Sydney, Australia
ConclusionsThis study provides insights into parental disease prevention beliefs, behaviours, and decision‐making. It reveals a need for policies to support parents with unwell children. In addition, resources and educative efforts to raise awareness of vaccination as a preventive health measure, and awareness of infectious disease contagion more broadly, would assist in providing parents with a greater evidence base for making decisions about childcare attendance when their child is unwell.

Influence of eating quickly and eating until full on anthropometric gains in girls: A population ‐based, longitudinal study
ConclusionsEating quickly and eating until full had a substantial impact on excess gains in anthropometric variables among schoolgirls, suggesting that modifying these eating behaviors may help prevent non‐overweight/obese girls from the excess gains. Accordingly, school health programs need to focus on not eating quickly and/or not eating until full to prevent overweight/obesity; it is necessary to emphasize “the risk of overweight/obesity associated with these eating behaviors” in schools.

Mild –moderate congenital hearing loss: secular trends in outcomes across four systems of detection
ConclusionsTreatment arising from UNHS appears to be clearly benefitting children with moderate hearing losses. However, rigorous trials are needed to quantify benefits, versus costs and potential harms, of early aiding of children with mild losses. (Source: Child: Care, Health and Development)

Maternal care mediates the effects of nutrition and responsive stimulation interventions on young children's growth
ConclusionsThe quality of early caregiving experience mediated the association between both interventions and height‐for‐age. The effect of maternal depressive symptoms on growth was mediated by diarrhoeal illness. Programmatic approaches to child nutrition and growth must address all these potentially modifiable factors.

Costs and savings of parenting interventions: results of a systematic review
ConclusionsParenting interventions can be economically efficient and return savings on investment. Moreover, and one might argue as a moral imperative of democratic societies, population health can be improved and health inequalities reduced. An important debate is needed about early years policy, to include acknowledgement of the differences between UK and international healthcare systems and the potential savings from the synergistic and spin‐off effects of early years interventions to inform decision‐making to fund and implement appropriate action.

The support needs of parents having a child with a chronic kidney disease: a focus group study
ConclusionNeeds regarding balancing their personal life are seldom prioritized by parents as the child's needs are considered more important. Therefore, it is important that healthcare professionals should not only attend to the abilities of parents concerning their child's disease management, but also focus on the parents' abilities in balancing their responsibilities as a caregiver with their own personal life.

Understanding the school experiences of children and adolescents with serious chronic illness: a systematic meta ‐review
ConclusionStudents with chronic illness demonstrate mixed school experiences and outcomes that are often worse than students without chronic illness. Modifiable factors, such as students' engagement with school, may be novel yet appropriate targets of educational support to ensure that these students reach their full schooling potential.
