During the COVID-19 pandemic, breastfeeding support, which was traditionally provided offline, shifted to online platforms. Although these remote services were available before the pandemic began, online interventions emerged as an alternative and proved effective in helping mothers breastfeed during that period. We aimed to explore the existing literature on the experiences of mothers and health care professionals with remote one-to-one synchronous breastfeeding support and to identify the unmet support needs of mothers regarding this type of support. We systematically searched seven literature databases: MEDLINE, CINAHL Plus, MIDIRS, Web of Science, ASSIA, WHO Global Index, and Google Search. Articles published before 2010 and in languages other than English and Bahasa were excluded. A thematic approach was used to synthesise the data. Twenty-one studies were included in this review. Three themes generated from the synthesis: (1) mothers' acceptance of one-to-one synchronous telelactation, (2) benefit of one-to-one synchronous telelactation, and (3) challenges faced in one-to-one synchronous telelactation. In conclusion, mothers generally accepted one-to-one synchronous breastfeeding support as an alternative to in-person sessions, although some challenges remain. Further improvements are needed to address accessibility and scheduling issues.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"10105395261437273"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147857794","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}

Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines, we searched PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science for peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2024. Eight studies of high to moderate quality were summarized through a narrative method, guided by three frameworks: the typology of community approaches, the continuum of participation, and the drivers of marriageability. Analysis shows a competing priority between scalability and sustainability. Economic interventions could delay eligibility but were fragile without normative change. Interventions that emphasized desirability, through dialogue or skills training, more effectively changed girls' perceptions. Community success relied on participation: passive consultation did not change norms, but \"shared leadership\" created local enforcement. Addressing CM requires targeted solutions. Effective strategies merge economic incentives for immediate poverty relief with community mobilization and vocational training to shift perceptions of girls' value. Future policies should change from \"empowerment-lite\" to integrated \"structural-plus\" approaches, transforming communities from passive recipients to active enforcers and owners of programs.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"10105395261437254"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147790168","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}

This systematic review aimed to identify factors associated with DBM among South Asian preschool children. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines, with protocol registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO), five databases (PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, and Cochrane Library) were searched for studies published from January 2014 to October 2024. Study quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist. Of 4714 retrieved articles, 45 met the inclusion criteria. Key factors for undernutrition included older age, male sex, low maternal education, maternal underweight, low birth weight, food insecurity, recent morbidity, maternal employment, more children in the household, and higher birth order. Overnutrition was commonly associated with younger age, male sex, maternal overweight, higher wealth index, and lower birth order. These findings show that malnutrition among South Asian preschoolers is shaped by demographic, maternal, and household determinants, underscoring the need for integrated, context-specific interventions to reduce the burden.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"10105395261430803"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147730726","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}

A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Jakarta, involving 105 hospitalized children. Data were obtained from caregiver interviews, medical record reviews, and venous BLL testing. The mean BLL was 2.0 (95% confidence interval [1.48, 2.67]) µg/dL, with 20% of children having levels above 5.0 µg/dL, and two children exceeding 10.0 µg/dL. No acute lead poisoning cases were identified. Anemia and malnutrition were observed in 31.5% and 17.1% of participants, respectively. Female children and those with less-educated mothers had higher odds of elevated BLL, though associations were not statistically significant. Logistic regression showed no significant link between elevated BLL and lead-related diagnoses, growth delays, anemia, or malnutrition. Despite this, the findings highlight a hidden burden of lead exposure in children from urban non-industrial areas. These results support the need for routine BLL screening, caregiver education on household lead risks, and strengthened community monitoring to reduce early-life exposure in similar settings.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"10105395261435158"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147724861","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}
