The aims of this study were to assess telemedicine utilization and social media engagement (optional). We performed a retrospective chart review and examined Facebook posts. During the first 6 weeks of the pandemic, 129 patients completed a telemedicine visit (52 non-completers). Completers were less likely to be Medicaid-insured (OR 0.252). Families engaged most with Facebook exercise content (avg. views: 449). Further analysis is necessary to determine how to make telemedicine accessible for low-income families and to determine if social media engagement improves anthropometric outcomes.","PeriodicalId":46607,"journal":{"name":"Childrens Health Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42264171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Caregivers (N = 114) of children between the ages of 3 months and 10 years accessing Ohio child care completed a parent survey (fall 2020), and additional caregivers (N = 20) completed an interview. Caregivers reported a mean of 70 (SD = 19; scale 1–100) on COVID-19-related stress. In adjusted regression models, higher caregiver-reported COVID-19-related stress was associated with increased odds of child aggression and poor social skills.

Parents of 155 children ages 3 to 5 were surveyed about their children’s bedtime routines, bedtime anxiety, compliance, and sleep quality. Regression models supported a simple indirect effect of bedtime routine consistency on sleep quality through bedtime anxiety, but not through compliance at bedtime. In a serial model, consistent bedtime routines were related to sleep quality through first bedtime anxiety and then compliance near bedtime. Clinically, results suggest that if parents can alleviate child anxiety around bedtime through routines, compliance around bedtime, and a good night sleep may follow.","PeriodicalId":46607,"journal":{"name":"Childrens Health Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44741965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One hundred adolescents with overweight or obesity completed measures of hedonic food reward, dietary intake, and height and weight.

For 16% of participants who had high hedonic hunger, and high body mass, caloric intake mediated the association between hedonic hunger and zBMI. These results suggest that hedonic hunger may override the homeostatic need for energy and may be associated with increased caloric intake, potentiating weight gain.","PeriodicalId":46607,"journal":{"name":"Childrens Health Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49241796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the last 19 years, CARES has been treating adolescents and young adults (ages 14 to 21) – referred from across the five boroughs of NYC – with complex profiles of mental health, substance use, and education problems. What started out as two small grant funded programs has expanded to become a dynamic, multifaceted vehicle for empowerment, hope, and change for those individuals and families who have traditionally been underserved and unsupported by the healthcare system. Embedded within CARES is the mission and commitment to addressing mental health disparities among racial and ethnic minority youth across individual, community, and organizational levels. We, at CARES, recognize that mental health symptomology and adverse experiences rarely occur in isolation. Rather, what guides our treatment is the acknowledgment that the health and well-being of our patients is reliant upon a holistic conceptualization – one that honors the unique and diverse characteristics of adolescence and its inherent resilience.","PeriodicalId":46607,"journal":{"name":"Childrens Health Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43610036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
