Sixty-two inner-city Canadian boys identified as struggling readers participated in a 22-week intervention that examined the effects of male reading tutors, computer-based texts, and choice of reading materials. Immediately after the intervention, boys demonstrated between-group changes to reader self-perceptions and gendered views of reading but no between-group differences in achievement. Two years after the intervention’s completion, the boys’ reading comprehension achievement scores were again examined and compared to 62 non-participating boys matched at the time of the study’s onset. Results showed no significant differences between the two groups. Of the boys who participated in the intervention, working with male reading tutors and with computer-based texts did not result in higher achievement than working with female reading tutors or with print-based texts. However, boys who were not given a choice in their reading materials demonstrated reading achievement six months ahead of the boys who were given a choice.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the immediate and long term effects of self-recording for on-task responding. Data were taken for both on-task and accuracy of performance in handwriting, spelling, and math with three behaviorally disordered elementary school students. The effects of self-recording were evaluated in a multiple-baseline design across subject-matter areas. The overall results revealed an increase in both on-task and academic performance when the students self-recorded their own on-task behavior. Only one pupil decreased his academic performance over that noted in baseline. Follow-up data taken during the first, second, and third school years yielded rates of on-task behavior over that of baseline, but not at the levels found in the self-recording condition. The practical aspects of the self-recording procedure were discussed.

Risk Protection

BackgroundExperiencing illness in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) can incur very high out-of-pocket (OOP) payments for healthcare and, while the existing literature typically focuses on levels of expenditure, it rarely examines what happens when households do not have the necessary money. Some will adopt one or more ‘coping strategies’, such as borrowing money, perhaps at exorbitant interest rates, or selling assets, some necessary for their future income, with detrimental long-term effects. This is particularly relevant for chronic illnesses that require consistent, long-term OOP payments. We systematically review the literature on strategies for financing OOP costs of chronic illnesses in LMICs, their correlates and their impacts on households.MethodsWe searched MEDLINE, EconLit, EMBASE, Global Health and Scopus on 22 October 2018 for literature published on or after 1 January 2000. We included qualitative or quantitative studies describing at least one coping strategy for chronic illness OOP payments in a LMIC context. Our narrative review follows Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses reporting guidelines.ResultsForty-seven papers were included. Studies identified coping strategies for chronic illness costs that are not traditionally addressed in financial risk protection research (eg, taking children out of school, sending them to work, reducing expenditure on food or education, quitting work to give care). Twenty studies reported socioeconomic or other correlates of coping strategies, with poorer households and those with more advanced disease more vulnerable to detrimental strategies. Only six studies (three cross-sectional and three qualitative) included evidence of impacts of coping strategies on households, including increased labour to repay debts and discontinuing treatment.ConclusionsMonitoring of financial risk protection provides an incomplete picture if it fails to capture the effect of coping strategies. This will require qualitative and longitudinal research to understand the long-term effects, especially those associated with chronic illness in LMICs.

WHAT PARENTS OF RHEUMATIC FEVER PATIENTS DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE DISEASE AND ITS PROPHYLACTIC MANAGEMENT

Interviews with 60 parents of children attending a rheumatic fever clinic showed confusion and many unrealistic beliefs about the disease and its long-term effects, about recurrences, and about the rationale for the prophylactic program. The parents' all-pervading anxiety about heart disease and death led them to impose or continue restrictions contrary to medical advice, even on children with normal hearts. The mothers' lack of understanding correlated with their level of education and a number of social and environmental factors. One group of families with a clearly defined pattern of social characteristics-almost entirely Negro, on public assistance, with a low educational level, a very low income, and a high degree of family disorganization-stood out because of its lack of understanding about the disease and about its prophylactic treatment. The responses of Negro mothers on public assistance as well as those with higher educational and income levels were similar in several respects and differed from those of Caucasian mothers. On the basis of what the mothers reported, communication about the disease was remarkably poor between physician and parent, parent and child, and physician and patient.

Although people of color and low-income groups bear a disproportionate share of the health risks from exposure to pesticides, research attention has been meager, and data on acute and chronic health effects related to their toxic exposures are generally lacking. Increased resources are needed both to study this issue and to mitigate problems already identified. People of color should be a major research focus, with priority on long-term effects, particularly cancer, neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral effects, long-term neurological dysfunction, and reproductive outcome. Suitable populations at high risk that have not been studied include noncertified pesticide applicators and seasonal and migrant farm workers, including children.
