The capacity of children to act as agents is being increasingly recognized and has important implications for health research and practice. However, there are various discrepancies in how children’s agency is defined in the literature. The aim of this analysis was to examine the concept of children’s agency within the health-related literature, using Rodgers evolutionary method. The following questions were addressed: How did the concept of agency become associated with children in the health-related literature? What are the sociocultural and legal contexts that surround the concept of children’s agency? What is the meaning of children’s agency? Forty-five articles were included in the analysis. An inductive approach was used to identify the attributes of children’s agency as well as the temporal, disciplinary, and paradigmatic trends in its conceptualization. The concept of children’s agency first appeared in the health literature in the 1980s and was defined as an ability children could gradually develop. Later on, children’s agency was used to refer to the capacity of all children to influence their own and others’ health-care needs and is now increasingly used to refer to children as active agents who reflect on and construct their social worlds.

Behavioral Action

Expectant mothers/couples often report planning for early parenting is overwhelming. Lack of anticipatory planning makes evident the need for providers, like childbirth educators, to assist expectant parents in minimizing or eliminating the problems associated with the transition to the fourth trimester, early parenthood. Planning for birth should extend beyond labor and birth to include the weeks following. The author's purpose is to explore the problems associated with the fourth trimester, to review the current health-related literature, and to propose an integrated behavioral action plan as an effective strategy. Self-efficacy constructs support a wellness plan approach to enable expectant mothers/couples to be proactive in preparing for their physical and emotional needs after the arrival of their newborn.

The need for improved communication about health-related topics is evident in statistics about the health literacy of adults living in the United States. The negative impact of poor health communication is huge, resulting in poor health outcomes, health disparities, and high health care costs. The importance of good health communication is relevant to all patient populations, including those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Efforts are underway at all levels, from individual professionals to the federal government, to improve the information patients receive so that they can make appropriate health care decisions. This article describes these efforts and discusses how speech-language pathologists and audiologists may be impacted.

Health disparities have once again moved to the forefront of America's consciousness with the recent significant observation of dramatically higher death rates among African Americans with COVID-19 when compared to White Americans. Health disparities have a long history in the United States, yet little consideration has been given to their impact on the clinical outcomes in the rehabilitative health professions such as speech-language pathology/audiology (SLP/A). Consequently, it is unclear how the absence of a careful examination of health disparities in fields like SLP/A impacts the clinical outcomes desired or achieved. The purpose of this tutorial is to examine the issue of health disparities in relationship to SLP/A. This tutorial includes operational definitions related to health disparities and a review of the social determinants of health that are the underlying cause of such disparities. The tutorial concludes with a discussion of potential directions for the study of health disparities in SLP/A to identify strategies to close the disparity gap in health-related outcomes that currently exists.

Tailored Approach

Mobile tools are increasingly available to help individuals monitor their progress toward health behavior goals. Commonly known commercial products for health and fitness self-monitoring include wearable devices such as the Fitbit© and Nike + Pedometer© that work independently or in conjunction with mobile platforms (e.g., smartphones, media players) as well as web-based interfaces. These tools track and graph exercise behavior, provide motivational messages, offer health-related information, and allow users to share their accomplishments via social media. Approximately 2 million software programs or “apps” have been designed for mobile platforms (Pure Oxygen Mobile, 2013), many of which are health-related. The development of mobile health devices and applications is advancing so quickly that the Food and Drug Administration issued a Guidance statement with the purpose of defining mobile medical applications and describing a tailored approach to their regulation.
