The health of Australia's children depends on a firm national commitment to implement the comprehensive strategy outlined by the Preventative Health Taskforce.
For the first time, the Australian Early Development Index (AEDI) has been completed nationally, giving Australia a snapshot of young children's development.
New research findings from the world's largest study predicting children's late language emergence has revealed that parents are not to blame for late talking
A ground breaking study of WA 5-year olds has found that more than a quarter of the children have developmental difficulties that could have life-long impacts.
The Government of Uzbekistan has committed to reforming preschool education, prioritising upskilling teachers to use international best practice.
We know that place, location, and geography can all influence health, wellbeing, and disease, and thus are important factors in policy development and service planning.
Information on the hospital service use among individuals with CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder, an ultrarare developmental epileptic encephalopathy, is limited, evidence of which could assist with service planning. Therefore, using baseline and longitudinal data on 379 genetically verified individuals in the International CDKL5 Disorder Database, we aimed to investigate rates of seizure-related and other hospitalizations and associated length of stay in this cohort.
Estimate the global prevalence of neurodevelopmental impairment in children with Robin sequence (RS) at one year or more of age.
Maternal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has been linked to child neurodevelopmental difficulties. Neuroimaging research has linked these neurodevelopmental difficulties to white matter microstructure alterations, but the effects of PFAS on children's white matter microstructure remains unclear.
Childhood is a critical period for the development of movement behaviours such as physical activity, sleep and sedentary behaviour. The PLAYCE Cohort was established to investigate how movement behaviours change over early to middle childhood, across key behaviour settings and relationships with health and development. An overview of the PLAYCE cohort, summary of key findings to date, and future research opportunities are presented.
