Limited information is available about how these services are and should be organized. The aim of this study was to describe the different service delivery models currently used in a context of publicly funded healthcare and childcare systems (Québec, Canada) and to identify the strengths and limitations of these models.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>An interpretative descriptive research approach was used. Qualitative data from an online survey (<i>n</i> = 344) and semi-structured interviews (<i>n</i> = 18) were used.

Services funded by childcare providers (Quadrants 1 and 3) offered flexibility in addressing priority needs identified by childcare providers and facilitated collaboration with early childhood educators. Childcare-centred models (Quadrants 3 and 4) addressed the needs of children not receiving individual healthcare services. Healthcare-funded services (Quadrants 2 and 4) provided free services for childcare providers.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Each service delivery model had its own strengths and limitations. To enhance support for childcare providers and the children they serve, stakeholders should consider using a variety of service delivery models covering all four quadrants. Three key actions should be considered to improve current services: (1) incorporate more childcare-centred services to reduce the number of underserved children; (2) offer more childcare-led services to align with priority needs identified by childcare providers; and (3) improve intersectoral collaboration by developing cross-institutional policies.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Key Messages</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <ul>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":55262,"journal":{"name":"Child Care Health and Development","volume":"51 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cch.70110","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144244520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, limited research exits on how different parental migration status affects the early development of rural LBC. The purpose of this study is to examine early child development of previous-left-behind children (PLBC), children with single parent migrating (SLBC), children with both parents migrating (BLBC) as compared to never-left-behind children (NLBC). This study also attempts to explore the factors affecting the early development levels of four types of rural children.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1614 child caregivers in Nanling County, Anhui Province. Ages &amp; Stages Questionnaires–Chinese version (ASQ-C) was conducted to measure suspected developmental delay (SDD) of rural children. The parenting knowledge, depressive symptoms and parenting behaviours of caregivers were measured using the Knowledge of Infant Development Inventory-P (KIDI-P), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and Family Care Indicators (FCI). After controlling for the sociodemographic characteristics of children and primary caregivers, binary logistic regression was employed to assess the association between various categories of rural children and early developmental delays.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The results showed significant differences in total SDD among the four types of rural children (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.01), and the risk of total SDD in BLBC was 1.78 times that of NLBC [OR = 1.78, 95% CI (1.23–2.60), <i>p</i> &lt; 0.01].

Untreated, ECC can affect children's physical and emotional health and future social opportunities. ECC is largely preventable through primary caregivers' correct understanding of oral health promoting diets, oral hygiene practices and dental service engagement. The study aim is to explore Western Australian (WA) primary caregivers' child oral health knowledge, experience and practices. The Fisher-Owens socioecological model of child oral health was applied across the study to structure and interpret the findings across the complex, interactive sociocultural influences on child oral health.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Methods&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;The mixed-methods convergent research design included a questionnaire and focus group sessions with a purposive sample of primary caregivers of children aged under 5 years across two geographical WA locations (metropolitan and regional areas). Questions sought to understand participant knowledge, practices and experiences across categories of tooth safe diet and feeding practices, oral hygiene and oral health services. Questionnaire data underwent simple descriptive statistical analysis. Focus group data were organised using Nvivo v12 software and analysed using the codebook approach to thematic analysis, in which the coding process is guided by Braun and Clarke's predetermined coding frame.

Widespread confusion is evident from all social backgrounds about child oral health and hygiene, in particular, fluoride use, brushing regimes and dietary sugars.

This study aimed to develop a psychometrically sound measure for comprehensively assessing Chinese parents' parenting practices regarding early adolescents' physical activity.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>A total of 70 measurement items were developed from translating, adapting and revising the Physical Activity Parenting Practice (PAPP) item bank. Content validity was assessed via consultation with 10 experts and cognitive interviews with six 7th graders. The psychometric properties assessed included structural validity via exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency, predictive validity against adolescent-reported physical activity levels and test–retest reliability of construct scores over 2 weeks. The sample comprised 725 adolescents aged 12–15 years, of whom 114 completed the survey twice, 2 weeks apart.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Eight PAPP constructs from the control, structure and autonomy support domains were identified forming a set of 49 measurement items. The structure within each domain demonstrated good model fit and comparable alignment with the international conceptual framework. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients of each construct ranged from 0.70 to 0.90. Five construct scores had significant positive associations with adolescents' physical activity levels (<i>β</i> ranged from 0.14 to 0.43, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001). Test–retest construct scores generated moderate to large correlations with coefficients ranging from 0.60 to 0.80.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Psychometric testing supported the reliability and validity of the physical activity parenting practice questionnaire for Chinese youth (CYPAPP). This culturally adapted measure would enable cross-cultural comparisons to better understand parental influences on adolescents' physical activity.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55262,"journal":{"name":"Child Care Health and Development","volume":"51 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144171703","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}
