Background: "Electronic wastes" are discarded electrical or electronic devices which includes used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling, or disposal [1] Per year approximately 20-50 million tons of Electronic Waste are disposed of globally [2]. The effects of these electronic materials are far worse in counties liked India where most of the people are having poor economic status that leads to engagement in picking up and recycling of trash cans and other dumps and they are not equipped with any proper protective measures [3]. Electronic waste is emerging as a serious public health and environmental issue in India. India is the "fifth largest electronic waste producer in the world"; approximately 2 million tons of e-waste are generated annually and an undisclosed amount of e-waste is imported from other countries around the world [4] Objectives: 1. To assess the awareness on ill effect of electronic waste among general population of selected urban community. 2. To associate the awareness on ill effect of electronic waste on health among selected urban community with a selected demographic variable. Material and Methods: Research Approach: Quantitative Research Approach. Research Design: Descriptive Research Design. Setting of the study: The study was conducted at Aarvi Naka, Wardha. Population- General population of Aarvi Naka. Sampling Technique: Non-Probability Sampling Technique. Sample Size- 100. Result: The result shows that 18% of the general population had poor level of awareness score, 38% had low level of awareness, 30% had average level of awareness and 14% of general population had high level of awareness score. Mean awareness score was 9.51±3.98 and mean percentage of awareness score was 47.55 ± 19.94. While dealing with the association of awareness score with their demographic variables, age in years of general population from selected urban community is statistically associated with their awareness score (p=0.05). Conclusion: In this study the findings of the study shows that there is no significant association of awareness level on ill effect of electronic waste on health with the demographic variables like gender, educational status, religion, occupation, monthly family income, marital status and home ownership; but there is a significant relationship with age of the corresponding samples.

BACKGROUND A broad spectrum of emotional lows, from simple sadness to a pathological suicidal condition is defined as a depression. This is a common mental illness that has been noticed in daily life. Usually, a person who is depressed or feeling unhappy may return to normal emotional health within a specified time. There are times where this condition stretches for such a time that it is greatly overshadowed by the value of the precipitating factor. The patient in a prolonged depression state withdraws from his / her private, social, and professional activities. In some scenarios the diagnosis of depression should be identified. According to epidemiological studies, 15 percent to 20 percent of the children and adolescents experience at least one depressive episode in life and this is a common recurrent and impairing condition that predicts future suicide attempts, academic failure, interpersonal problems, unemployment, substance abuse, and delinquency before adulthood. The objective of the study was to assess the prevalence of associated factors of depressive symptoms among school going children and to evaluate the association of the prevalence score with selected demographic variables. METHODS This was a cross sectional study with quantitative research approach. The study was conducted in a selected school of Wardha district. Nonprobability convenience sampling technique was used to collect data from school going children. A structured questionnaire including socio demographic details & patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9) scale was used to identify the prevalence of depressive symptoms among school going children. After collecting data, the sample characteristics were described by frequency and percentage. A chi-square test was used to find out the relationship between the association between prevalence of associated factors of depressive symptoms and selected demographic variables. RESULTS In this study 8.89 % of school going children had no depression; minimal depression was seen in 68.89 %; mild depression in 17.88 %, moderate depression in 4.44 %, and moderately severe depression in 0 % of school going children were seen. CONCLUSIONS There was a significant association between the prevalence of associated factors of depressive symptoms among school going children with gender only.

Background: Immunization plays a vital role in global health for children. Children should have taken routine immunization universally for the prevention of diseases. While receiving immunization, most children are experiencing pain and show anxiety and sadness. In this study, the more effective distraction techniques between toys and music was compared which will also be necessary to apply to children in the forthcoming. Objectives: 1) To assess the alter pain response by toys as a distraction technique among children receiving immunization. 2) To assess the alter pain response by music as a distraction technique among children receiving immunization. 3) To compare the alter pain responses by toys and music as a distraction technique among children receiving immunization. 4) To associate the alter pain responses with selected demographic variables. Methods and Materials: An interventional research approach was used in this study with experimental research design. 60 samples were selected by Simple Random Sampling Technique. A structured demographic questionnaire and FLACC Pain Scale were used to collect the data. Follow-up period was not required as the response of the pain in both groups were immediately assessed during immunization. Data were analyzed using SPSS Software 22.0 and Chi square was used to find the association between the alter pain responses with demographic variables. Results: The finding shows that the mean score of music was 4.33 with SD of ±1.32 when compared to toys 3.70 with SD of ±1.36. The measured ‘t’ value i.e. 2.07 was less than the tabulated value at 5% level of significance. Therefore, toys were more effective when compared to music as a distraction technique (P<0.05) to alter pain responses among children receiving immunization. There were no association between the alter pain responses with demographic variables. Conclusion: As toys were found to be more effective to alter pain responses than music, a related study can be conducted to compare the alter pain responses between male and female children during immunization. This study recommends that a similar study can be replicated to compare and analyze the distraction techniques between male and female to alter pain responses among children.
