Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. ​This handbook synthesizes and analyzes the growing knowledge base on life course health development (LCHD) from the prenatal period through emerging adulthood, with implications for clinical practice and public health. It presents LCHD as an innovative field with a sound theoretical framework for understanding wellness and disease from a lifespan perspective, replacing previous medical, biopsychosocial, and early genomic models of health. Interdisciplinary chapters discuss major health concerns (diabetes, obesity), important less-studied conditions (hearing, kidney health), and large-scale issues (nutrition, adversity) from a lifespan viewpoint. In addition, chapters address methodological approaches and challenges by analyzing existing measures, studies, and surveys. The book concludes with the editors’ research agenda that proposes priorities for future LCHD research and its application to health care practice and health policy. Topics featured in the Handbook include: The prenatal period and its effect on child obesity and metabolic outcomes. Pregnancy complications and their effect on women’s cardiovascular health. A multi-level approach for obesity prevention in children. Application of the LCHD framework to autism spectrum disorder. Socioeconomic disadvantage and its influence on health development across the lifespan. The importance of nutrition to optimal health development across the lifespan. The Handbook of Life Course Health Development is a must-have resource for researchers, clinicians/professionals, and graduate students in developmental psychology/science; maternal and child health; social work; health economics; educational policy and politics; and medical law as well as many interrelated subdisciplines in psychology, medicine, public health, mental health, education, social welfare, economics, sociology, and law.

Download or read book Parental Oral Health Beliefs and Practices Toward Young Children s Dental Caries Among Chinese Immigrant Parents written by Ching-Feng Chang and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dental caries is the most common chronic childhood disease. Chinese immigrant children have higher decayed and filled primary teeth than their US counterparts. There is limited information regarding Chinese American immigrant families' oral health beliefs and practices, which could influence their children's oral health outcomes. This study generated new knowledge about parental oral health beliefs and practices toward early childhood caries among Chinese immigrant parents toward the long-range goal of improving immigrant children's oral health. Aims. The overall goal of this cross-sectional descriptive study was to describe Chinese immigrant parents' Explanatory Model of dental caries (etiology, onset of symptoms, pathophysiology, course of caries, treatment) and the impact of Chinese culture, Chinese health beliefs and behaviors on parents' oral-health care of their children. Methods. Purposive and modified respondent-driven samplings were used to recruit Chinese immigrant parents of children aged 0-6 years through Chinese immigrant agencies and participant referrals in King County, Washington. Participants completed in-person, semi-structured interviews that included perceived influencing factors in order to capture cultural and personal perspectives about early childhood caries and children's oral health care. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim in Chinese and analyzed using content analysis. Results. Forty-six parents participated in the study. Parents believed the causes of dental caries included diet and oral hygiene habits, biological and somatic factors (inheritance, genetic, inborn and transmission issues), children's biting fingers habit, and lack of routine dental visits. They held different understandings on the age of onset for dental caries. Most parents recognized the onset of disease through dental examinations, children's toothaches, and color changes on their children's teeth. Parents were familiar with dental caries through personal experiences and experiences with their friends' children. Parents believed childhood caries had the potential to have a short-term or lifelong negative impact on their children. Most parents would immediately seek professional help for caries treatment, but indicated that information about dental caries and its prevention was needed from dental professional. Furthermore, results from the analysis using a framework derived from a critical analysis of Chinese culture revealed that 11 concepts were reflected in parents' oral-health beliefs and practices. Parents believed that they: (1) had an obligation for their children's oral care; (2) valued their children's training in oral care; (3) expected children to be independent in tooth brushing; (4) allowed children to receive sweets as gifts from relatives; (5) expressed fatalism regarding children's dental caries; (6) believed kinship contributed to children's dental caries; (7) obeyed dentists' authority; (8) avoided confrontation with dentists and family members; (9) demonstrated group orientation related to friends' dental knowledge and advice; (10) valued face related to children's physical facial appearance; and (11) were concerned dental caries would affect their children's school achievement. Results from the analysis using a framework derived from a critical analysis of Chinese health beliefs and behaviors revealed that eight domains were related to their oral-health beliefs and practices, including (1) belief regarding primary teeth; (2) belief regarding tooth worms; (3) belief regarding gum bleeding; (4) belief regarding sugary foods; (5) belief regarding a balanced diet; (6) belief regarding self-care; (7) belief regarding the need for dental care services; and (8) belief regarding tooth extraction. Implications. Explanatory Model of dental caries could be applied to assess parental beliefs and practices towards childhood dental caries. Understanding of Chinese culture, health beliefs and behaviors could be helpful in developing oral-health interventions in relation to family needs. Caries prevention intervention is needed to facilitate parents' daily assistance roles in children's oral hygiene behaviors, as well as healthy diet habits. The knowledge served as a foundation for developing a conceptual framework for designing culturally relevant family-focused interventions to improve immigrant children's oral health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dental caries has been called a “silent epidemic” and is the most prevalent chronic disease affecting children. Though much has been written on the science and practice of managing this disease, publications are diverse in their loci, preventing easy access to the reader. Early Childhood Oral Health coalesces all the important information related to this topic in a comprehensive reference for students, academics, and practitioners. This second edition expands the scope of the first and puts an additional focus on interprofessional and global efforts that are necessary to manage the growing disease crisis and screening and risk assessment efforts that have expanded with the boom of new technologies. With updated references and incorporating the latest research, chapters address the biology and epidemiology of caries, the clinical management of early childhood caries, risk assessment, and early diagnosis. Other topics include public health approaches to managing caries worldwide, implementation of new caries prevention programs, fluoride regimens, and community programs, and family oral health education. Brand new are four chapters on the medical management of early childhood caries, considerations for children with special needs, interprofessional education and practice, and how the newest policy issues and the Affordable Care Act affect dental care. A must-read for pediatric dentists, cariologists, public health dentists, and students in these fields, Early Childhood Oral Health is also relevant for pediatricians and pediatric nursing specialists worldwide.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: This study examined pediatric dentists’ experience with early childhood caries (ECC) and family dysfunction and domestic violence by asking practicing U.S. and Canadian pediatric dentists in diagnosing and treating ECC and their perception of the relationship between ECC and certain elements of family dysfunction and aspects of child abuse and neglect (CAN). Methods: A 17-item questionnaire was developed from literature and expert opinion and was administered via QualtricsTM to all pediatric dental members of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry who were at least 5 years removed from pediatric dentistry residency. The questionnaire elicited personal experience with CAN, experience with ECC, provider perceptions of family dysfunction related to ECC, and respondent demographics. Results: Of the 4732 surveys successfully emailed, 1001 (21.2%) respondents completed the survey. Of those, 957 (95.6%) responded that they had seen a child 0-5 years of age in their practice reporting pain, lack of sleep, poor eating or problems associated with ECC. Gender was made up of 422 (44.1%) males, 382 (39.9%) female, and 153 (16.0%) responded as “Other” or preferred not to respond. The average age of respondents was 50.5 years, and had been in practice a mean of 18 years (n = 825). 803 (83.9%) were in active practice, 25 (2.6%) were not actively practicing, and 129 (13.5%) preferred not to respond. 837 (87.8%) of respondents believed the frequency of children they saw with ECC and associated behaviors stayed the same or increased in the past 5 years. 851 (88.3%) of respondents saw these patients with ECC and related pain at least once a month. 581 (64.8%), 195 (21.7%), and 99 (11.0%) of respondents stated that these families returned for dental treatment after ECC diagnosis Often, Sometimes and Always, respectively. The top response by providers for what they believed to contribute to ECC in today’s society was that “caregivers are unaware about ECC and its etiology” (22.5%). When asked if the provider had ever considered reporting the caregiver to child protective services due to the extent of decay and ECC, 376 (40.2%) said they had considered reporting and did report, 279 (29.8%) said they did not consider reporting, and 256 (27.4%) said they did consider but did not report. Conclusion: Respondent pediatric dentists reported known and suspected aspects of family dysfunction in some families with children with ECC. Any clear majority did not agree upon the role of ECC as a trigger of family dysfunction.
