The Impact

Objective: The present study examined the impact of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) on core educational outcomes in two large community cohorts of Australian school children. Method: Academic (reading and numeracy) and non-academic (school engagement, attendance, peer victimization, and parental expectations) outcomes were compared between children with ADHD, subthreshold ADHD, and controls when children were in grade 5 (M age = 10.5). Data were drawn from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children birth cohort (LSAC; N = 3,540) and the Children’s Attention Project (CAP; N = 356). Results: Both subthreshold ADHD and ADHD groups had poorer outcomes on all measures, with medium effects sizes. Differences were not evident between subthreshold ADHD and ADHD groups. Conclusions: Educational outcomes examined in this study highlight the educational risk for upperprimary school children with ADHD or subthreshold ADHD, in comparison to their peers. Monitoring these outcomes is necessary to inform policy, practice, and intervention.

Unhealthy Snacks

Children usually forget breakfast and choose to buy snacks at school. Children buy snacks according to their likes without thinking about the ingredients contained in them.       Many snacks that do not meet health requirements threaten the health of children throughout 2004 in 164 outbreaks of food poisoning in 25 provinces in 7,366 cases and 51 of them died. Counseling was conducted on December 8, 2018 in SD Negeri 204 Kota Jambi with a total of 31 participants. Outreach results can be obtained by students in grade 5 understanding what is meant by healthy snacks, the benefits of healthy snacks, and the impact of unhealthy snacks. The results of this counseling also introduce students to a sample menu of healthy snacks, a type of healthy food content whose nutritional value is needed for the growth of these students. Conclusion Class 5 students know healthy snacks, benefits and effects of unhealthy snacks, are expected for the next counseling activity to involve parents.

Unhealthy Snacks

Primary school age children are children aged 6 to 12 years. These children have a variety of activities so they often forget to eat breakfast and lunch so that instead they consume food that comes from school. Problems with unhealthy snacks for students must be dealt with to avoid various diseases. The Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) conducted a survey involving schools in Indonesia and proved that 35% of school children 'snacks were unhealthy and did not meet the requirements. To reduce the consequences arising from unhealthy snacks, it is necessary to do socialization in schools, especially elementary school children. The purpose of the study was to provide education related to momentary snacks, how to choose healthy snacks and the impact of unhealthy snacks on SDN Samata students. The target of this activity is grade 5 students, with 25 participants. The method of socialization used is through the games method. Based on the results of the activities carried out that SDN Samata students have been able to distinguish between healthy foods and unhealthy foods. This is evidenced that the knowledge of participants about healthy snacks before the training is held there are students with good knowledge categories as much as 48% and 32% less categories. After the socialization, participants' knowledge increased to 68% in the good category, 24% in the sufficient category. Whereas knowledge of healthy snacks in the category of less decreased to 24%.

The Impact

During one year (september 2013 � september 2014), 50 children from the residential institution for children SOS Satele Copiilor Bucharest, where included in our research. The children were distributed in two groups: Group A which consisted of 25 children (12 girls, 13 boys) who were not diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Group B which consisted of 25 children (14 boys, 11 girls) who were diagnosed with ADHD. Initially, the two groups were subjected at a psycho-diagnostic battery of tests, one of them being the Evaluating the Health State of children with ADHD questionnaire elaborated by us, particularly for this research, with the purpose of highlighting the direct link between the children health state and their ADHD symptoms. This study sought to determine the concentration of copper in urine samples from a group of children with ADHD and a group of normal children, to highlight the role of copper in the development of ADHD symptoms. Levels of copper concentration in urine samples from the two groups were processed by Student�s t-Test. Statistical analysis showed that the arithmetic averages of copper concentration in urine samples, of the two groups do not differ significantly, so copper may be causing ADHD symptoms occur. The copper content in urine samples has been determined using atomic absorption spectrometry with graphite furnace.

The Impact

Abstract Background Emerging literature on the current COVID-19 crisis suggests that children may experience increased anxiety and depression as a result of the pandemic. To prevent such school and mental health-related problems, there is a timely need to develop preventive strategies and interventions to address potential negative impacts of COVID-19 on children’s mental health, especially in school settings. Results from previous child clinical research indicate that art-based therapies, including mindfulness-based art therapy, have shown promise to increase children’s well-being and reduce psychological distress. Objective The goal of the present pilot and feasibility study was to compare the impact of an emotion-based directed drawing intervention and a mandala drawing intervention, on mental health in elementary school children (N = 22), in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both interventions were group-based and delivered online and remotely. A pilot study using a randomized cluster design was implemented to evaluate and compare both interventions in relation to child anxiety, depression, inattention and hyperactivity symptoms. Results Analyses of covariance revealed a significant effect of the type of drawing intervention on levels of inattention, after controlling for baseline levels. Participants in the emotion-based directed drawing group showed lower inattention scores at post-test, when compared to participants in the mandala group. Post-hoc sensitivity analyses showed significant decreases in pre-to-post scores for levels of hyperactivity for the complete sample. Conclusion Overall, results from this pilot and feasibility study showed that both an emotion-based directed drawing intervention and a mandala drawing intervention may be beneficial to improve mental health in elementary school children, in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic. From a feasibility standpoint, results indicate that the implementation of both interventions online and remotely, through a videoconference platform, is feasible and adequate in school-based settings. Further work incorporating larger sample sizes, longitudinal data and ensuring sufficient statistical power is warranted to evaluate the long-term impact of both interventions on children’s mental health.

The Impact

Racial discrimination presents challenges for children of color, particularly with regard to their schooling. Experiences of rejection and unfairness because of one’s race can prompt students to disengage from academics. The expansive discrimination literature finds that such experiences are commonplace. So much so that researchers have begun asking a new question: does one need to experience discrimination first-hand to feel its consequences? The current study continues in this direction by examining school attitudes as a potential outcome of anticipated and vicarious discrimination. Data are from black and Hispanic adolescents in the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods. Results indicate that anticipated discrimination has the strongest and most direct associations with attitudes among African Americans, particularly when the police represent the discrimination source. However, parents can neutralize the impact of anticipated discrimination if they encourage reading at high levels. Experienced and vicarious discrimination exhibit weaker effects. Overall, the results confirm that the consequences of interpersonal discrimination do not stop with the intended victims. Instead, there are ripple effects that can negatively impact the worldviews of racial minority adolescents without them ever personally experiencing discrimination.
