In Western countries, entry into the labour market is difficult for humanitarian migrants, especially women. The aim of our study was to examine the association of health, native Finnish friends and having under school-age children with employment among humanitarian migrants.The data were drawn from the Finnish Migrant Health and Wellbeing Study. The sample comprised 479 migrants of Kurdish and Somali origin (men n=248; women n=231). We analysed the associations of self-rated health, having Finnish friends and under school age children with employment using multinomial regression modelling.After adjustment for several well-established determinants of employment, having Finnish friends and good health were robustly associated with employment among women. In the age-adjusted model, having 3–6 years old children was related to lower employment among women, but after all adjustments, the association became nonsignificant. All these associations were nonsignificant among male migrants.To conclude, good health and bridging social relations with natives play a role in strengtheningemployment opportunities among female humanitarian migrants.

Role And Function

Mother possesses a central role in the process of educating children. Mother spends more time with children at home than in the school. Thus, the attachment between the child and the mother becomes a benchmark as having required the ability to perform interaction within constructed social relations of school-aged children. This study was conducted using an explorative study that focused on the ‘eyecatching’ of information and issues that obtained in the process of this study. Interview, observation and documentation techniques are applied. The results show that the attachment between mother and child is built on the basis of the various skills that must be owned by school-aged children. This also means the role and function of the mother in educating school-aged children, expecially teaching process, that is caring, willingness to share, respect, politeness and responsibility. Providing good role models is the best way to instill values   in children, thus becoming the foundation for good attachment building between mother and child. Keywords: attachment, mother, children, school-age children.

Abstract Objectives To explore the advice school-age children would give parents to help their kids make good health-related behavioral choices (e.g., reducing sugary beverages, increasing fruits/vegetables, eating age-appropriate portions, having frequent family meals) and determine the congruence of children's advice with best-practice parenting guidelines. Methods Children (6 to 11 years) from three states (FL, NJ and WV) participated in 1 of 65 semi-structured focus group discussions. Trained focus group moderators used a semi-structured script to ask children what advice they would give parents to help kids make healthy choices. Results School-age children (n = 195, 47% female) felt that parents played an important role in helping kids make healthy choices. Standard content analysis procedures indicated that some of the advice children would give parents was in line with best-practice parenting guidelines, such as telling kids about the benefits of healthy choices, encouraging kids to make healthy choices, planning ahead to make healthy choices possible, and establishing a routine and expectations for healthy choices. Children also advised parents to involve kids in planning and preparing meals, politely ask kids to help them, and teach kids how to cook. However, other advice children gave contradicted best-practice parenting guidelines. Children often advised parents to use rewards (e.g., money and highly palatable foods) as bribes to get kids to make healthy choices. They also frequently advised parents to punish kids for making unhealthy choices by taking away dessert or electronic devices or grounding them. Children commonly advised parents to “trick” kids into making healthy choices by mixing vegetables into other dishes to hide them or coloring water so kids think it is juice. Conclusions Although some of the advice kids would give parents was in line with best-practice parenting guidelines, not all was. Kids’ advice may suggest that their parents have utilized non-recommended strategies, which can negatively influence children's own eating behaviors now as well as the parenting practices these kids may use in the future. Thus, to protect future generations, nutrition interventions targeting children should consider incorporating best-practice parenting strategies related to healthy choices.

The majority of Europeans live in cities, where parks as components of Urban Green Spaces (UGSs) play an important role in well-being and the provision of ecosystem services (ES). UGSs are especially relevant for the implementation of the United Nations (UN) Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals “Good health and wellbeing” (Goal 3) and “Sustainable cities and communities” (Goal 11). This study focused on ES use and users’ motives, which were surveyed during visits at central parks in the cities Leipzig, Coimbra and Vilnius. Park visitors used 17 different ES, dominated by physical interactions such as walking or biking, followed by experiential and aesthetical ES and ES linked to social relations. Age of visitors, cultural setting and distance to homes influenced ES use in the parks differently in each city, limiting the transferability of park—user behaviour or motivations across different spatial and cultural contexts. Results also indicate that aligning sustainability objectives and usability, good accessibility of urban parks plays a central role and encourages the use of non-motorized or public transport for park visits. Concrete information about UGS user motivation and behaviour generated in this and similar studies contributes to convert the UN Agenda 2030 strategies at the municipal level into sustainability and user-oriented design and management of UGS.

This report has been prepared primarily for the information and guidance of the members of the American Academy of Pediatrics in matters of school health. Most of the members are practicing physicians. Many physicians are perplexed by the subject of "school health." A better term, perhaps, is "health program for school age children." It emphasizes that "school health" is but part of an over-all planning for child health which begins with birth (or prenatal life) and continues through the school years. The private physician surrenders none of his responsibility for the child's health when the child enters school. Instead, the school joins him and the parent as a third party interested in the child's health. The school age child's health is influenced by the teaching and environment of his school, by the program of public health in the community, and by the direct services he receives. It is important that physicians, school personnel and public health authorities coordinate their activities by cooperative planning if the health program is to be successful. The private physician, who has been the medical adviser to the child during his preschool years, should play an important role in this cooperative activity of adjusting the child to the school environment. Not only should the child enter school in optimum health, but he should continue in optimum health throughout his school years. His good health is basically his parents' responsibility. The parents can be helped where and when necessary by a properly organized "health program for school age children."

SDN 120 Pekanbaru is a school located on Jalan Pesisir Ujung RT 3/RW 9 District of Rumbai Pesisir, Kota Pekanbaru, Riau Province. After the survey, this school did not have Usaha Kesehatan Sekolah (UKS) and there were still many students who did not yet have the knowledge and implementation of good health. To solve health problems, the authors provide a solution in the form of a children's health education club called SUPERMAN to be implemented in the school. SUPERMAN is a program with a new concept created to direct elementary school age children to be more concerned with Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) and the nutrition. The method used in the implementation program is through lectures, training, mentoring, games, and direct applications. The results achieved at this time are the SUPERMAN club has been formed with Semua Sehat; Perbaiki Lemak Dulu; Enaknya di Ruangan; Roar di Outdoor; and Mantap Badanku, Sehat Tubuhku (evidenced by the club's formation certificate, management decree, and club guidebook), members' nutritional status books (there are 6 obese children (21%)), there are five posters and brochures, and the documentation. After this activity was carried out, there wqas an increase in studeny knowledge by 20%.

Improve Service Delivery

Educational audiologists often must delegate certain tasks to other educational personnel who function as support personnel and need training in order to perform assigned tasks. Support personnel are people who, after appropriate training, perform tasks that are prescribed, directed, and supervised by a professional such as a certified and licensed audiologist. The training of support personnel to perform tasks that are typically performed by those in other disciplines is calledmultiskilling. This article discusses multiskilling and the use of support personnel in educational audiology in reference to the following principles: guidelines, models of multiskilling, components of successful multiskilling, and "dos and don’ts" for multiskilling. These principles are illustrated through the use of multiskilling in the establishment of a hearing aid monitoring program. Successful multiskilling and the use of support personnel by educational audiologists can improve service delivery to school-age children with hearing loss.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess the perceptions of stuttering of school-age children who stutter and those of adults who stutter through the use of the same tools that could be commonly used by clinicians. Method Twenty-three participants across various ages and stuttering severity were administered both the Stuttering Severity Instrument–Fourth Edition (SSI-4; Riley, 2009 ) and the Wright & Ayre Stuttering Self-Rating Profile ( Wright & Ayre, 2000 ). Comparisons were made between severity of behavioral measures of stuttering made by the SSI-4 and by age (child/adult). Results Significant differences were obtained for the age comparison but not for the severity comparison. Results are explained in terms of the correlation between severity equivalents of the SSI-4 and the Wright & Ayre Stuttering Self-Rating Profile scores, with clinical implications justifying multi-aspect assessment. Conclusions Clinical implications indicate that self-perception and impact of stuttering must not be assumed and should be evaluated for individual participants. Research implications include further study with a larger subject pool and various levels of stuttering severity.

Purpose The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released guidelines for rehabilitation professionals regarding the care of children with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Given that mTBI impacts millions of children each year and can be particularly detrimental to children in middle and high school age groups, access to universal recommendations for management of postinjury symptoms is ideal. Method This viewpoint article examines the CDC guidelines and applies these recommendations directly to speech-language pathology practices. In particular, education, assessment, treatment, team management, and ongoing monitoring are discussed. In addition, suggested timelines regarding implementation of services by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are provided. Specific focus is placed on adolescents (i.e., middle and high school–age children). Results SLPs are critical members of the rehabilitation team working with children with mTBI and should be involved in education, symptom monitoring, and assessment early in the recovery process. SLPs can also provide unique insight into the cognitive and linguistic challenges of these students and can serve to bridge the gap among rehabilitation and school-based professionals, the adolescent with brain injury, and their parents. Conclusion The guidelines provided by the CDC, along with evidence from the field of speech pathology, can guide SLPs to advocate for involvement in the care of adolescents with mTBI. More research is needed to enhance the evidence base for direct assessment and treatment with this population; however, SLPs can use their extensive knowledge and experience working with individuals with traumatic brain injury as a starting point for post-mTBI care.
