Factors associated with delayed infant immunization in a nationally representative cohort study
ConclusionsParental attitudes accounted for a relatively small percentage of delayed infant immunization. In contrast, many children who did not receive vaccines on time were characterized by social disadvantage, especially larger family size.

Does integrated academic and health education prevent substance use? Systematic review and meta ‐analyses
ConclusionsEvidence quality was highly variable. Findings for years 3–6 and 12–13 could not be meta‐analysed, and we could not assess publication bias. Interventions appear to have a small but significant effect reducing substance use. Specific methods of integrating academic and health education remain poorly understood.

Mental health care needs and preferences for mothers of children with a disability
ConclusionsAlthough mental health problems were common and mothers perceived the need for professional help, several key barriers were preventing mothers from accessing help. Our study suggests that improving mothers' knowledge of when and where to seek help (mental health literacy) may encourage their access to support. There also needs to be more accessible treatment to mothers given the high care demands that are placed upon them. (Source: Child: Care, Health and Development)
