EAd is an important cause of outbreaks of diarrhea among young children attending DCCs. EAd 41 was the serotype identified. DNA restriction analysis of cultivated EAds proved to be an effective way of differentiating EAd serotypes.

Children's Identity

In this article, I approach day care centers as stages upon which various small stories are constructed and performed by young children and other interlocutors. The aim of the article is two-fold. Methodologically, the paper is a tentative application of Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective onto narrative research with children. Empirically, the aim is to explore day care centers as narrative environments that constitute children’s lives and identities. I anchor my analysis and interpretation of research material, collected in two groups of children, in three perspectives. Firstly, I focus on the spatial practices of the day care centers, framing the construction of small stories. Secondly, I deal with the production of small stories between cultural routines and active reconstruction. Finally, I draw attention to children’s identity construction as a continuous process influenced by a variety of individual, material, contextual, cultural, and interactional factors.

Knowledge And Practice

A day care is a childcare center where care is provided by adults who are not their parents. Day care workers should have adequate knowledge regarding the care of young children. The study aimed to assess the knowledge and practice regarding care of young children in day care centers. Quantitative descriptive research approach was adopted for the study with one group pre-test post-test pre-experimental research design. The study included 30 day care workers working in a day care centre of New Delhi, using purposive sampling. Structured knowledge questionnaire and observation checklists were used for data collection and data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that before administration of basic training programmes, 18 (60%) of day care workers had average knowledge scores, 9 (30%) had good knowledge scores and 3 (10%) of day care workers had poor knowledge regarding care of young children. After the administration of the basic training programme, 30 (100%) were having good knowledge. It can be concluded that participants ranked highest (I) in knowledge score of Prevention of infections knowledge’ followed by rank II of ‘Growth and development of child’, rank III of ‘Nutrition for a child’, rank IV ‘Personal hygiene’, rank V of ‘Safety and security’ followed by rank VI - ‘Qualities of personnel in day care center’. In terms of practice before administration of basic training programme 23 (77%) of study subjects had average practice scores, 4 (13%) had good practice scores and 3 (10%) of day care workers had poor practice scores regarding care of young children. After the administration of the basic training programme, 27(90%) were having good practice and 3 (10%) were having average practice. There was no significant association found between the knowledge and practice score with demographic variables of day care workers.

The Cost

Substantial costs occur each year due to infectious illness attributable to day-care center attendance by young children.1-3 Estimates of the value of work missed by parents in the US due to day-care-associated upper respiratory tract and diarrheal illness combined have ranged from $1602 million to $4003 million per year. Infectious diarrhea is one of the most common illnesses among young children. Several epidemiologic studies have shown increased risk of developing infectious diarrhea with attendance in group care, especially among children under 3 years of age.4-6 The cost burden of diarrheal illness among children attending day-care centers (DCCs) has not been adequately quantified, and few analyses have considered the effect that the type of care arrangement given ill children exerts on cost. To estimate the cost burden of gastrointestinal-tract illness in day-care centers (DCCs), we used data collected during a 16-month cohort study of rotavirus diarrhea in four DCCs. In addition, we surveyed parents to assess factors affecting cost of illness and to assess the range of ill-child-care options used by parents. METHODS Selection of Day Care Centers Four DCCs in Houston, Texas, were selected for participation in the rotavirus cohort study from a list of licensed DCCs generated by the Texas Department of Human Services. Potential study sites were centers with sufficient numbers of infants and toddlers located within a 7-mile radius of the University of Texas Medical School. Center directors gave informed consent for their centers to participate in the study. Day-Care Center Population From October 1989 through April 1991, children age 1-18 months with no known underlying disease in four licensed DCCs were enrolled in the rotavirus cohort study.
