Cochrane Review: Behavioural and cognitive‐behavioural group‐based parenting programmes for early‐onset conduct problems in children aged 3 to 12 years (Review)
Abstract

A large number of studies and some previous reviews have focused on behavioural and cognitive‐behavioural group‐based parenting interventions, but methodological limitations are commonplace and evidence for the effectiveness and cost‐effectiveness of these programmes has been unclear.
ObjectivesTo assess the effectiveness and cost‐effectiveness of behavioural and cognitive‐behavioural group‐based parenting programmes for improving child conduct problems, parental mental health and parenting skills.

Cochrane Review: Social skills groups for people aged 6 to 21 with autism spectrum disorders (ASD)
Abstract
BackgroundSince autism was first described, major difficulties in social interaction have been a defining feature of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Social skills groups are a common intervention for individuals with ASD. Although a frequently recommended practice, the few studies that have addressed the efficacy of social skills groups have shown mixed results.
ObjectivesTo determine the effectiveness of social skills groups for improving social competence, social communication, and quality of life for people with ASD who are six to 21 years of age.

Antihistamines or decongestants for otitis media with effusion—do they work?
Abstract
Eco‐paediatrics is an occasional feature in Evidence‐Based Child Health: A Cochrane Review Journal. Our goal is to contribute to the worldwide discussion on reducing waste in health care. In each instalment, we will select a recent Cochrane review highlighting a practice, still in use, which the available evidence tells us should be discontinued.

Systematic reviews of bruising in relation to child abuse—what have we learnt: an overview of review updates
Conclusions:Systematic Reviews of bruising challenged accepted wisdom regarding ageing of bruises, which had no scientific basis; stimulated higher quality research on patterns of bruises distinguishing abusive and non‐abusive bruising patterns, and highlighted the benefits of regular updates of these reviews.

Cochrane Review: Prophylactic phototherapy for preventing jaundice in preterm or low birth weight infants
Abstract
BackgroundLow birth weight and premature infants are at major risk for exaggerated hyperbilirubinaemia and jaundice that can lead to bilirubin encephalopathy. Phototherapy is the most common treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia and could be most effective in preventing the sequelae of hyperbilirubinaemia if initiated prophylactically.
ObjectivesTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of prophylactic phototherapy for preterm (< 37 weeks gestational age) or low birth weight infants (birth weight < 2500 g).

Home fortification of foods with multiple micronutrient powders for health and nutrition in children under two years of age (Review)
Abstract
BackgroundVitamin and mineral deficiencies, particularly those of iron, vitamin A and zinc, affect more than two billion people worldwide. Young children are highly vulnerable because of rapid growth and inadequate dietary practices. Micronutrient powders (MNP) are single‐dose packets containing multiple vitamins and minerals in powder form that can be sprinkled onto any semi‐solid food.The use of MNP for home or point‐of‐use fortification of complementary foods has been proposed as an intervention for improving micronutrient intake in children under two years of age.
ObjectivesTo assess the effects and sa...
