The Impact

Purpose: The School Health Action, Planning and Evaluation System (SHAPES) is a school-based data collection and knowledge exchange system designed to improve the health of youth. This paper outlines the design of the SHAPES study, examines the impact of different school recruitment models on participation rates, and examines the impact of using two different research modules during data collection on the prevalence of core behaviours being measured. Methods: In total, 76 schools were recruited from seven health regions and data were collected using the SHAPES Tobacco (TM) and Physical Activity Modules (PAM). Results: It was found that school recruitment rates were higher when both the researchers and the health unit, worked together to recruit schools. Significant differences were found between students who completed the TM and students who completed the PAM with respect to body mass index, smoking susceptibility, the number of friends who smoke, and the number of active friends. Conclusions: This paper provides valuable real-world insight for future researchers interested in performing population-level school-based studies of youth risk behaviours. Our experience suggests that a modular approach to data collection is feasible and that recruitment rates are improved when researchers work in collaboration with health unit staff who have existing relationships with schools.

The study examined the association of a school-based tobacco-control program with students’ smoking behaviour over time using three cross-sectional, provincial census datasets (grade 10 students in 1999, grade 11 students in 2000, grade 12 students in 2001). Data were collected from all secondary schools in Prince Edward Island (Canada) using the Tobacco module of the School Health Action, Planning and Evaluation System (SHAPES). The proportion of regular smokers increased from grade 10 (22.3%) to grade 12 (27.8%, χ2 = 10.35, df = 1, p $lt; 0.001). Being exposed to different school-based tobacco programs and policies in grades 10 and 11 was not associated with the smoking behaviour of grade 12 students. The strongest predictors of smoking behaviour were having friends or close family members who smoke. This preliminary evidence suggests that programs and policies associated with banning smoking and enforcing smoking restrictions at school may be insufficient unless they also address the influence of smoking peers and family members and link to comprehensive programming within the broader context of other community and policy level interventions.

Abstract Background Little is known about the concurrent change in physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB) and sport participation (SP) during adolescence. The main purpose of this prospective and partly objective study was to simultaneously investigate PA, SBs and SP changes between the 1st and 2nd grades of high school in urban adolescents. Methods In this 1-year follow-up study, the participants were 81 secondary-school students (28 boys and 53 girls) aged 15.5 years at the baseline. PA was assessed with the SenseWear Armband multi-sensor activity monitor, while SBs were assessed by using School Health Action, Planning and Evaluation System (SHAPES) PA questionnaire. The SHAPES questionnaire was supplemented with two questions inquiring about SP in organized sports in school and outside of school. Results PA decreased markedly in both genders between the 1st and 2nd grades of high school. Total energy expenditure (TEE) was reduced by 13 kcal/kg/day on average in boys and by 10 kcal/kg/day in girls (p for both <0.001), while mean daily active energy expenditure (AEE) decreased by 7 kcal/kg/day (p < 0.001) and 3 kcal/kg/day (p = 0.04) in boys and girls, respectively. Similarly, the amount of moderate PA declined by 49 min/day in boys and 21 min/day in girls (p for both <0.001). At the same time vigorous PA was cut by 14 min/day (p < 0.001) and 3 min/day (p = 0.003) in boys and girls, respectively. Conversely, time spent in SBs did not show any change. Conclusion In conclusion, a decline in PA between the 1st and 2nd grades of high school was marked but was not accompanied with an increase in SBs. Policies aimed at increasing PA should be targeting the period of entering secondary school to offset the observed drop in PA.

Centralized System

What are the influences of school-based management (SBM) on schools’ organizational health? This study assessed the effects of SBM on schools operating in a centralized system of education. The health qualities of 28 schools were measured in a longitudinal study spanning 3 sequential years, including the year before introduction of SBM in schools and in the 2 years that followed implementation. The results indicated no significant changes when comparing the integrated index for school health among the 3 years. However, significant differences appeared when the various subsets of school health were compared. The results indicated that teachers put more emphasis on children's outcomes. Yet, at the same time, teachers reported having lower morale and increased bureaucratic load in comparison to the circumstances that existed in their school prior to the introduction of SBM. Implications for student growth and teacher development are discussed.

The Impact

BACKGROUND Population-level survey is an essential standard method used in public health research to quantify sociodemographic events and support public health policy development and intervention designs with evidence. Although all steps in the survey can contribute to the data quality parameters, data collection mechanisms seem the most determinant, as they can avoid mistakes before they happen. The use of electronic devices such as smartphones and tablet computers improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of public health surveys. However, there is lack of systematically analyzed evidence to show the potential impact on data quality and cost reduction of electronic-based data collection tools in interviewer-administered surveys. OBJECTIVE This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of interviewer-administered electronic device data collection methods concerning data quality and cost reduction in population-level surveys compared with the traditional paper-based methods. METHODS We will conduct a systematic search on Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Global Health, Trip, ISI Web of Science, and Cochrane Library for studies from 2007 to 2018 to identify relevant studies. The review will include randomized and nonrandomized studies that examine data quality and cost reduction outcomes. Moreover, usability, user experience, and usage parameters from the same study will be summarized. Two independent authors will screen the title and abstract. A third author will mediate in cases of disagreement. If the studies are considered to be combinable with minimal heterogeneity, we will perform a meta-analysis. RESULTS The preliminary search in PubMed and Web of Science showed 1491 and 979 resulting hits of articles, respectively. The review protocol is registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42018092259). We anticipate January 30, 2019, to be the finishing date. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review will inform policymakers, investors, researchers, and technologists about the impact of an electronic-based data collection system on data quality, work efficiency, and cost reduction.

Abstrak: Tujuan  penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan mengkaji pendidikan inklusi di SDN Lebak Bulus 06 Pagi, Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dalam mengkaji fenomena dan aktivitas yang terjadi dalam latar alamiah. Metode utama yang digunakan adalah pengamatan dan wawancara. Hasil analisis dan pembahasan dari penelitian di SDN Lebak Bulus 06 Pagi mengenai kerja sama antara pihak sekolah dan orang tua, ditemukan data bahwa kerjasama sudah terjalin dengan baik antara orang tua/wali siswa dan pemerintah karena disitu sudah ada partisipasi kepada pihak sekolah, seperti penyumbangan sarana dan prasarana. Salah satu kekurangan yang menjadi temuan yaitu kurangnya jumlah toilet jika dibandingkan dengan jumlah siswa, dan masih belum ada toilet untuk anak berkebutuhan khusus. Kekurangan lain yang ditemukan yaitu, dijadikannya satu ruangan guru dengan ruang kepala sekolah yang menimbulkan kurang efektifnya proses kegiatan kependidikan. Sarana prasarana lain yang tersedia yaitu Unit Kesehatan Sekolah (UKS). Sekolah ramah anak juga berjalan cukup kondusif sehingga sekolah tersebut dinamakan sebagai sekolah sample project. SDN Lebak Bulus 06 Pagi adalah sekolah inti, dan sekolah imbasnya adalah SDN Lebak Bulus 02,03 & 04 Pagi. Sekolah ramah anak atau yang biasa disebut sebagai sekolah sample project belum ditanamkan sebagai sekolah ramah anak. Seharusnya sekolah tersebut harus mejalankan sekolah ramah anak agar siswa-siswinya bisa meniru hal-hal baik untuk diaplikasikan dalam kegiatan sehari-hari.Kata Kunci: pendidikan, inklusiAbstract: The purpose of this research is to know and study inclusion education at SDN Lebak Bulus 06 Pagi. This research uses a qualitative approach in studying phenomenon and activities that occur in a natural setting. The main methods used are observations and interviews. The Result of analysis and discussion from research at SDN Lebak Bulus 06 Pagi regarding cooperation between school and parents, found data that cooperation has been well established between parent/guardian of student and government because there is already participating to school party, like the contribution of means and infrastructure. One of the drawbacks of the findings is the lack of toilet numbers compared to the number of students, and there is still no toilet for children with special needs. Another deficiency that is found is, made one room teacher with the headroom of the school causes less effective process of education activities. Another available infrastructure is the School Health Unit (UKS). Child-friendly schools are also running quite conducive so that the school is named as a sample project school. SDN Lebak Bulus 06 Pagi is the core school, and the impact school is SDN Lebak Bulus 02,03 & 04 Pagi. Child-friendly schools or commonly referred to as sample project schools have not been instilled as child-friendly schools. The school should run a child-friendly school so that students can imitate the good things to be applied in daily activities.Keywords: education, inclusion

The Impact

ObjectiveTo qualitatively assess the effects of a multi-modal school-based water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) intervention on handwashing behaviour among primary students in North Western (NW) Tanzania.DesignThe study was a qualitative assessment of barriers and facilitators to handwashing among students attending primary schools participating in the Mikono Safi Trial (Kiswahili for ‘Clean Hands), a cluster-randomised trial assessing the impact of a school-based WASH intervention on selected soil transmitted helminth infections. Data collection methods included in-depth interviews with teachers, focus group discussions and friendship pair interviews with students collected between April and October 2018. The Capability-Opportunity-Motivation and Behaviour model was used to inform data collection and analysis.SettingThe study was conducted in four purposively selected intervention schools in three districts of Kagera region, NW Tanzania (Bukoba urban, Bukoba rural and Muleba districts).ParticipantsParticipants comprised 16 purposively selected teachers aged between 23 and 52 years and 100 students aged 7–15 yearsResultsThe Mikono Safi intervention increased students’ reported capability and motivation to wash their hands with soap at key times, particularly after visiting the toilet. Improvements in students’ handwashing knowledge and skills were reported by both teachers and students, and motivation for handwashing was enhanced by emotional drivers such as disgust, fear and nurture. Newly established handwashing stations improved the physical opportunity to wash hands, although the availability of water and the provision of soap was not always consistent (eg, due to internal organisational shortcomings or during the dry season). Students and teachers were actively engaged in intervention implementation which created a school community that valued and supported improved hand hygiene.ConclusionThe intervention was successful in improving capability and motivation for handwashing. Handwashing opportunity was also greatly improved, although the supply with water and soap was sometimes interrupted, calling for much stronger multi-sectoral collaboration to improve access to water at schools.Trial registration numberISRCTN45013173; Pre-results.

The Impact

In order to identify the research that addressed the Academia da Cidade and Academia da Saúde Programs (ACP/ASP), a scoping review was conducted in April 2020 in five electronic databases and in reference lists aiming to identify scientific articles that had data collections carried out in the facilities of the ACP/ASP or, that somehow involved the populations of the localities where the programs were implemented. Of the 321 initial records, the descriptive synthesis consisted of 59 studies, which had as their most frequent characteristics: cross-sectional design, use of quantitative approaches in data collection and analysis, Nutrition as a central topic, and involvement of users (adults and the elderly). In conclusion, longitudinal studies involving all actors (managers, practitioners and users) and covering different health topics, besides promoting the approximation between academia and public power, may be promising in the sense of better evaluating the impact that the program represents in the life of the communities that are attended.
