Previous criminological literature has mostly neglected rural communities, often treating these places as smaller pieces of urban culture. Literature suggests rural communities operate differently than urban neighborhoods, with distinctive values, norms, and community cohesion. For example, concepts surrounding collective efficacy may work counterproductively in rural areas—further exploiting outed community members within "close-knit" environments. The current study sought to compare perceptions of collective efficacy and social cohesion, crime, and victimization between rural and urban counties across one Midwestern rural state. Using a mixed-methods approach, community stakeholders from a variety of professions were surveyed. Quantitative results suggest similar perceptions of collective efficacy and social cohesion in rural and urban communities while qualitative responses paint a much different picture—an image of rural communities "minding their own business" and both formally and informally intervening only in the most extreme and personalized scenarios.

Objective: To determine the knowledge and practice of parents of children withAsthma. Introduction: Asthma is a disease characterized by recurrent attacks of breathlessnessand wheezing typically begins in early childhood with an earlier onset in males than females. Lifetime prevalence of asthma is 13.5% and current asthma prevalence of 9.3% among children <18years. According to WHO 15 million disability adjusted life years (DALY) are lost annually due toAsthma. Prevalence of asthma in Pakistani children is 19%. Due to rapid industrialization andurbanization prevalence of Asthma has increased from 9 t0 20% during the last decade. Thisstudy was conducted to assess the extent of knowledge and practice which are associated withthe control of Asthma. Methodology: It was descriptive cross sectional study conducted in ED,Pediatric unit CHK. Sampling was convenience and the study duration six months. One hundredand twenty parents of asthmatic children from 4-13 years of age were selected. Results: Averageage of the children was 7.69±2.58 years (95% CI: 7.23 to 8.16) and average duration of illnesswas 3.08±2.0 years (95% CI: 2.69 to 3.45). Minimum duration was two years and maximum tenyears. One hundred and four mothers (86.7%) and 16 fathers(13.3%) participated in the study.Over all asthma knowledge and practice of parents was adequate in 20(16.7%), inadequate in46(39.3%) and average in 54(45%). Conclusions: Asthma knowledge especially about themanagement is inadequate and practices are also inappropriate in the urban population ofKarachi.

Introduction: The prevalence of childhood asthma is increasing globally. Asthma is one of the main causes of hospitalization and frequent emergency department visits of children. The parents having awareness about asthma can comply with the treatment, avoidance from triggers and subsequently, they can control asthma symptoms in their children. Study Design: Cross- sectional analytical study. Setting: The Children’s Hospital and the Institute of Child Health, Lahore and Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore in collaboration with University of Health Sciences Lahore. The Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore is a tertiary care and an academic hospital as it is attached with Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan Medical and Dental College (Shaikh Zayed Hospital updates). The Children’s Hospital and Institute of Child Health, Lahore provides services of tertiary health care as well as allied facilities. Period: 12 months from 01-08-2013 to 01-07-2014. Methods: To assess the knowledge of parents of asthmatic children about the disease and to determine any association between asthma knowledge and the level of asthma control in their children. Subjects were parents with their asthmatic children ages between 4 to 12 years attending two exclusive pediatric hospitals at Lahore. A tool was constructed to assessparent’s knowledge about asthma, and a pre-validated asthma control tool was administered to determine asthma symptoms control in children. Data was represented in the form of figures, tables and chi square test was used to determine the association of knowledge about asthma,demographic information, and environmental information with different group of asthma control. Results: One hundred and ninety-six parents with their asthmatic children participated in this study. There was no association between asthma knowledge and the level of asthma control.There were 108 parents who had adequate knowledge about asthma, out of them only 45 (41.7%) children had asthma control. There were 88 parents who had inadequate knowledge about asthma. Out of them 36 (40.9%) children were with asthma control (p=.915). Conclusions:The findings of the study concluded that more than 50% (108/ 196) of the parents/ guardians have adequate knowledge about asthma and there was no association found between asthma knowledge and the level of asthma control. However, we need to empower Pakistani communityvia a national asthma awareness program, smoking cessation campaign and also empower the health care team with up-to-date knowledge about asthma management.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the levels of knowledge about asthma of parents of school children. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out with parents of children with medical diagnosis of asthma (mild, moderate and severe), followed up at an outpatient referral center for childhood asthma in the Southern region of Brazil (Asthma Group). Parents of children with asthma in remission and healthy children were also selected (Control Group). The Newcastle Asthma Knowledge Questionnaire (NAKQ) questionnaire was applied in both groups. Results A total of 154 parents of children participated in the study; in that, 62 (40.26%) in the Asthma Group, and 92 (59.74%) in the Control Group, with a mean age of 35.60±10.03 years. Of these, 132 (85.7%) were female, and 72 (46.8%) parents studied up to high school. The average score of level of knowledge was 18.06±4.11 points. Only 30.5% parents had acceptable levels of knowledge about asthma, which were more prevalent in the Asthma Group than in the Control Group (41.9% versus 22.8%, p=0.01). The mean score in Newcastle Asthma Knowledge Questionnaire (NAKQ) was higher in the Asthma Group (19.32±3.92 versus 17.21±4.03, p=0.001), respectively. The parents with mild and moderate asthmatic children scored more than those of severe asthma (19.5 and 19.9 versus 18.2 points, p=0.02). Conclusion Most parents had an unsatisfactory level of knowledge about asthma, which reinforces the need for changes in public asthma management programs.

INTRODUCTION: Parents' compliance with asthma treatment is one of the main factors determining the success of treatment. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge of asthma symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of mothers of asthmatic children. METHODS: A questionnaire consisting of 42 questions was used in the study. The survey was composed of questions prepared by us and adapted from a validated asthma knowledge level questionnaire named The Newcastle Asthma Knowledge Questionnaire (NAKQ).Each correct answer was considered 2.38 points. Those with 67.7 points and above were considered sufficient. RESULTS: The mothers of 323 children with asthma were included in the study. There was no one who answered all the questions correctly among the mothers. The total mean score of the mothers was 57.8±11.9 (median: 58.5, minimum: 26.8, maximum: 87.8). The median scores of the mothers who graduated from university (median: 65.9, minimum: 36.6, maximum: 85.4) was higher than those who graduated from primary school (median: 53.7, minimum: 29.3, maximum: 87.8), middle school (median: 58.5, minimum: 29.3, maximum: 78) and high school (median: 61, minimum: 26.8, maximum: 80.5) (p<0.001, p<0.001 and p=0.003). The median score of working mothers (median: 65.9, minimum: 34.1, maximum: 87.8) was higher than those who housewives (median: 56.1, minimum: 26.8, maximum: 87.8) (p<0.001). The median scores of mothers who breastfeed for more than six months (median: 61, minimum: 29.3, maximum: 87.8) was higher compared to those who breastfeed less than six months (median: 56.1, minimum: 26.8, maximum: 85.4) (p=0.005). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Education levels of the mothers and being a working mother were significant factors affecting the level of asthma knowledge among mothers.
