An Integrated Approach to the High-Quality, Safe and Healthy Nutrition Provision for Schoolchildren

Schoolchildren nutrition is one of the urgent problems and is currently one of the most important aspects for federal executive authorities. The study aims at the integrated approach development to ensure high-quality, safe and healthy nutrition for schoolchildren at the municipal level. The study object is the school nutrition system in Ekaterinburg. Nutrition satisfaction assessments results in 2019–2020 revealed that 81 % of headmasters, 48 % of teachers, and 62% of school medical staff believed that children liked to eat in the school canteen. At the same time, a man determined that 40 % of elementary school students, 31 % of high school students, 31 % of parents of elementary school students and 28 % of parents of high school students were satisfied with the catering at school, generally. The thesis presents the proportion data on the unsatisfactory samples of nutritional value identified in the course of inspections in schools in Ekaterinburg in 2019–2022, as well as the dynamics of satisfaction with catering in the school canteen and menu. The researchers systematized data on the reasons for nutrition refusal and (or) limited nutrition in the school canteen; on the attainment of the macro- and micronutrients consumption norms compared to the actual daily rations of schoolchildren in Ekaterinburg. The proportion of children with diseases of the endocrine system in schools varies from 0 to 37 %, including those with obesity – from 0 to 15 %, with diseases of the circulatory system – from 0 to 10 %, digestive system – from 0 to 72 %, musculoskeletal system – from 0 to 65 %. The researchers interrelate the number of unsatisfactory laboratory test samples of food products in public catering enterprises in schools with the digestive diseases in schoolchildren. Based on the research results, a man developed draft municipal program.

Examining engagement with and acceptability and usability of REAL Parenting: A brief online parent-based intervention to reduce alcohol use and consequences among high school students

This study is a formative assessment of REAL Parenting (RP): a brief, digital intervention for parents of high school students that encourages parent-teen communication about alcohol and, in turn, aims to prevent teen alcohol use. The aims of this study were to describe engagement with, and acceptability and usability of RP; and to explore the relationship of these measures with each other and with short-term outcomes. Participants were 160 parents randomly assigned to the treatment group who received RP as part of a randomized pilot trial (Mage = 45.43[SD = 7.26], 59.3% female, 56% White, 19% Hispanic). App-based program analytics captured real-time engagement with RP. Parents completed self-report measures of acceptability, usability, perceived communication effectiveness, perceived self-efficacy to communicate, and frequency of communication post-intervention. Descriptive statistics were calculated to describe engagement, acceptability and usability, and zero-order correlations were calculated to examine associations between these and self-report variables. About 75% (n = 118) of parents accessed the intervention and two-thirds (n = 110) accessed at least one module. Self-report ratings of acceptability and usability were neutral to positive, and mothers liked RP more than fathers. Self-report, but not program analytic indicators were associated with short-term outcomes. Findings suggest that, with little incentive, most parents will access an app focused on parent-teen communication about alcohol. While parent feedback was positive, it also highlighted areas for improvement with app content and design. Correlations suggest that analytic metrics of engagement are useful to discern who is and is not using interventions, and self-report measures are important for understanding pathways by which interventions are associated with short-term outcomes.

The effect of web-based family-centered empowerment program in preventing the risk factors of substance abuse in students' parents; application of the health promotion model.

The age of onset of substance abuse among adolescents has recently decreased worldwide. Parents play an important role in preventing their children from drug abuse. This study aimed to investigate the effect of web-based family-centered empowerment program in preventing the risk factors of substance abuse in students' parents, using the health promotion model (HPM). This interventional study was based on 118 parents of high school students in Sabzevar, Iran (2019). Multi-stage random sampling was used to divide the participants into the experimental (n = 65) and control (n = 65) groups. The data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire based on Pender's HPM. A website was designed to perform all stages of the study. The web-based educational intervention was performed for the experimental group. Both groups completed the questionnaires 2 months after the educational intervention. The data were analyzed using t-test, paired t-test, regression, correlation, and analysis of covariance. There was a significant difference between the scores of prior related behavior, perceived benefits of action, activity-related effect, situational influences, competitors, and commitment in the parents of the experimental group compared to the control group after the educational intervention (P-value < 0.05). Moreover, a significant difference was observed between preventive behaviors of substance abuse and the mean score of perceived barriers to action, perceived self-efficacy, interpersonal influences, and role model in the parents of the experimental group compared to the control group after the educational intervention (P-value < 0.05). Overall, designing an educational intervention based on the constructs of Pender's HPM could be an effective strategy for promoting preventive behaviors of substance abuse in parents.

The Comparison of Distance Physics Education Applications and Practices and Determining the Problems

In this research, we studied distance education practices in high schools which were closed by the Turkish Ministry of National Education (MNE) due to the COVID 19 pandemic and evaluated comparatively within the scope of the physics course. In this context, a comparative evaluation has been made by examining live lecture applications on television (EBA TV), remote live lessons (EBA live lessons), and another internet application (Zoom). The research covered a 13-week period starting with the interruption of the face-to-face education on March 16, 2020, until June 12, 2020. This research included six physics teachers, 15 science teachers, 20 parents of high school students, and 1.275 students in three different Anatolian high schools and four middle schools in Trabzon. In this study, we used the scanning model. The collected data were analyzed by calculating weekly average follow-up values and percentage values. At the end of this research, it was determined that the viewership of the physics lessons on EBA TV in the 1st weeks of distance education was 89% and that the viewership of EBA TV decreased considerably as the process continued. On the other hand, in online education applications and practices, it is seen that there were important problems arising from the lack of technological appliances, family situations, assessment, and evaluation. As a result of this study, we present proposed solutions for these problems.

Linking IEP Status to Parental Involvement for High School Students of First-Generation and Native-Born Families

As educators and policymakers increasingly use parental involvement as a mechanism to increase student achievement, scholars know surprisingly little about the disparities in frequencies of parental involvement for first-generation immigrant compared to native-born parents as well as how involvement may differ for parents of students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Using HSLS:2009, we compared parental involvement of first-generation immigrant parents and native-born parents of high school students with and without IEPs. Our descriptive results indicate that first-generation parents exhibit lower frequencies of school-based involvement compared to native-born parents. In our propensity score matching analysis, we found that IEP status is associated with an increase in school-based parental involvement for both first-generation immigrant and native-born families. We also found that IEP status was negatively associated with academic socialization for both first-generation immigrant and native-born families.

Desain Sistem Informasi Monitoring Berbasis Website Untuk Menilai Perkembangan Siswa

One of the objectives of the assessment is monitoring, which aims to see whether the implementation of the learning assessment has been in accordance with the assessment plan or not. In the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, technology is needed to facilitate the assessment process so that it can be carried out by various parties. The busyness of parents is one factor in the need for a tool to monitor the development of children at school. This study aims to produce a website-based monitoring information system design in assessing student development. The method used is a research and development method, with a 4-D model, namely definition, design, development, and dissemination. This article only discusses two stages, namely the definition stage and the design stage. At the definition stage, some information was collected regarding problems in monitoring student assessments. Data was collected using a questionnaire method given to high school students and teachers, as well as interviews with several parents of high school students. The results of the definition stage indicate that a student development monitoring system is needed that can be accessed by parents from home. At the design stage, a website-based monitoring information system design is designed that contains seven main views, namely: Login, Home, Student Identity, Grade List, Monitoring, Settings, and Logout. Keywords: Assisted information system, monitoring, website, student learning outcomes

325 Survey of Concussion Amongst High School Students and Their Parents

INTRODUCTION: Concussion is a common and dangerous injury amongst high school students. Concussion understanding and treatment has changed significantly as research has expanded the knowledge of concussion. METHODS: A Google Forms survey was completed by total 250 high school students and their parents assessing demographic characteristics, as well as experience with, attitude towards, and knowledge of sports-related concussion. Statistical analysis was performed using Chi-square, Fisher’s exact, and t-test methods. Statistical significance was defined as p &lt; 0.05. RESULTS: 45% of students reported having a prior concussion. Parents were more concerned about concussion than students (71% vs. 56%, p = 0.004). Previously concussed students were more concerned about concussion than non-concussed students (73% vs. 58%, p = 0.007). Parents were more likely to consider stopping participation in an activity than their students (65% vs. 22%, p &lt; 0.0001). 8% of previously concussed students had stopped participation in an activity due to concussion. Concussion knowledge was similar between parents and students who played and did not play contact sports. Students were more willing to conceal a concussion than their parents (49% vs. 4%, p &lt; 0.001). CONCLUSION: Parents of high school students had greater concern about concussion than their students. Students were much more willing to conceal a concussion than their parents. The finding that 49% of high school students would conceal a concussion in order to continue participation in activities is concerning. More education is needed among the high school population.

The perception of parents of high school students about adolescent sexual and reproductive needs in Nigeria: A qualitative study

ObjectivesDespite the fact that quality and effective services are provided to meet adolescents’ needs, the perceptions of parents regarding the delivery of these services must be taken into consideration. This aim of this study was to explore the perceptions of parents of High school students on the sexual and reproductive needs of adolescents. Study designThe study employed an exploratory research design using a qualitative approach. MethodsParticipants were selected using purposive sampling technique and a total number of 30 participants were recruited in two States in Nigeria. Data collection was done by means of audio-recorded, semi-structured interviews and data were analyzed using content analysis approach. Descriptive statistics were used to generate participants’ demographic profiles. ResultsAlmost all (28 of 30) of the participants had a basic understanding of the sexual and reproductive health needs of adolescents. Majority (90%) stated that parents have a major role to play in counseling and educating their children on sexual and reproductive health issues and others felt is a joint responsibility of teachers and parents. Furthermore, majority (20 of 30) of the participants are not aware of youth friendly services in their communities. However, most of the parents preferred sex education and counseling services for the adolescents above other youth friendly services, as only a few of the participants were in support of distribution of condoms and contraceptives in schools. ConclusionThe participants reported that youth friendly health care services are very effective in improving young people’s health, thus they are in support of their implementation.

Perceptions and Knowledge About the MenB Vaccine Among Parents of High School Students

Serogroup B meningococcal disease (MenB) causes almost 60% of meningitis cases among adolescents and young adults. Yet, MenB vaccine coverage among adolescents remains below 10%. Since parents are the primary medical decision makers for adolescents, we examined MenB vaccination rates and parent attitudes about meningitis and the MenB vaccine. In 2018, in conjunction with a county-wide, school-based immunization campaign, we conducted a mixed methods study among parents of 16- to 17-year-olds. We facilitated focus groups asking parents about their knowledge of meningitis and reactions to educational materials and sent behavioral surveys based on Health Belief Model constructs to parents through the county high school system. Parents in three focus groups (n = 8; participation rate = 13%) expressed confusion about their child’s need to receive the MenB vaccine in addition to the meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MenACWY), but conveyed strong trust in their physicians’ recommendation. Among survey participants (n = 170), 70 (41%) had heard of the MenB vaccine. Among those 70 parents, the most common barriers to vaccination were concerns about side effects (55%) and uncertainty of susceptibility due to receipt of the MenACWY vaccine (30%). The percentage of teens that received at least one dose of the MenB vaccine was 50% (n = 35) by parent report and 23% (n = 16) by state vaccination records. Parents demonstrated uncertainty and confusion about the MenB vaccine particularly due to the existence of another meningitis vaccine and limited health care provider recommendations. Confirmatory studies of parent confusion about the MenB vaccine are needed to develop interventions.

Parent perceptions regarding literacy instruction for students with intellectual disability.

Parents offer a unique perspective as they may view literacy instruction through the lens of its direct impact on their child's daily life. Further, they are likely to provide insight into the interactions between the perceived effectiveness of instruction and their expectations for their child's success. The purposes of the current investigation were to explore perceptions of parents of children with intellectual disability (ID) related to their child's literacy instruction in schools and understand parental expectations for their child's literacy performance. In the current investigation, we surveyed 211 parents of children with ID in one state within the USA to identify their perceptions related to their child's literacy outcomes and instruction. The survey instrument contained 25 items including 9 multiple-choice, 12 multiple-selection, 2 open-response and 2 rank order items. Data indicated significant differences across grade bands related to the type of skills students engage in learning, the importance of specific literacy skills and the challenges or barriers for students to engage in literacy instruction. The overwhelming majority of parents reported their child learning to read as very important and believe there is a difference in life outcomes between children who can read written words and those who cannot. Parents of elementary school children report barriers of disruptive behaviour, the inability of children to remain seated and distractibility more so than parents of secondary students. Parents of high school students reported a lack of instructional time more often than parents of middle and elementary school. While parents across grade bands reported the importance of literacy skills for students with ID and instruction in reading comprehension, listening comprehension and vocabulary, some differences were noted. Only half the parents reported an increased focus on literacy instruction, including on essential skills (e.g. decoding), in the earlier grades. Problem behaviour and motivation served as barriers to literacy for elementary students, and a lack of instructional time served as a barrier to writing for high school students.

Design and Development of a Science Literacy Material on Vaccination as an Intervention Campaign for Parents of High School Students in the Philippines

The Philippines had an alarming rise in measles cases for the past few years, and one of the reasons for this is the parents’ hesitation in having their kids vaccinated. For this reason, this study aims to formulate and design a science literacy material on vaccination as an intervention campaign for parents of one high school in the Philippines. The study utilized a pre-experimental pre-test-posttest research design with 100 randomly selected parents of the Grade 7 students enrolled for the academic year 2018-2019. A standardized test on parents' knowledge and perception of vaccines with internal consistency value of 0.7185 was used. In the pretest, respondents scored low on vaccine knowledge. However, a significant improvement was shown in the levels of knowledge on vaccines before and after the conduct of the symposium and the distribution of the brochures. There was also a significant difference between the parents’ perception on vaccination before and after the vaccination intervention campaign. Based on the study's findings, it is recommended that the school, in cooperation with the DOH and the local government unit, must conduct a massive educational or information drive to the parents to reduce the number of hesitant parents.

Development and Validation of an Instrument to Measure Parental Factors Related to Substance Use Prevention in Adolescents.

The average age of using illicit drugs for the first time in adolescents has decreased in Iran over the past years. Studies show that family and environment play a notable role in keeping adolescents away from substances. The present study is an attempt to develop and validate a model-based questionnaire to measure parental factors related to substance use prevention in adolescents. This methodological study was carried out on 336 parents of high school students in Sabzevar- Iran, in 2018. The first draft of the questionnaire, including 136 items, was developed based on the constructs of the Health Promotion Model (HPM) using similar questionnaires, literature review, and interviewing 9 qualified experts. The validity of the questionnaire was measured through face validity (qualitative and quantitative), content validity (qualitative and quantitative), and construct validity (confirmatory factor analysis). The reliability of the questionnaire was measured by internal consistency and test-retest reliability. SPSS ver. 16 and LISREL ver. 8.2 software was used for statistical analysis. Throughout the validation process, 35 items were omitted, and the final version of the questionnaire consisting of 101 items was developed. The overall content validity ratio was 0.81, which indicates the proper and understandable content of the items. The overall content validity index was 0.96, which indicates excellent expert validity. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.85 (constructs range= 0.73-0.96), and the intraclass correlation coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.78 (constructs range= 0.46-0.91), which indicates that the questionnaire has good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Further, the confirmatory factor analysis yielded an appropriate fit for the model (RMSEA= 0.069, χ2/df= 2.77, GFI= 0.60, AGFI= 0.83, CFI= 0.83, NNFI= 0.83). The validity and reliability of the HPM-based questionnaire were supported. Therefore, the questionnaire can be used by health educators and health policymakers in empowerment programs for parents to improve their behavioral skills concerning the prevention of substance use in their adolescents.

Do Grandparents Transmit a Highbrow Lifestyle to their Grandchildren? Testing Bourdieu’s Theory of Distinction

Abstract Pierre Bourdieu assumes in his theory of lifestyle that a highbrow lifestyle is shaped during childhood socialization and depends on the cultural capital of the family. While the effect of parents’ capital and lifestyle on their children has been frequently analyzed, there is no research that focuses on the three-generational transmission of a highbrow lifestyle from grandparents to their grandchildren. We attempt to fill this research gap with our study. Our primary research question is whether grandparents’ cultural capital and their practice of a highbrow lifestyle increases the probability of their grandchildren also pursuing a highbrow lifestyle. Based on a survey of parents of high school students, we are able to show that not only the parents’ conditions of socialization but also the grandparents’ cultural capital and lifestyle have a substantial effect on the probability that the grandchildren play an instrument / sing in a choir and practice a highbrow lifestyle. Furthermore, our analyses show that the grandparents’ influence on the grandchildren is only partially mediated by the parents’ capital and lifestyle.

Discussing with the Parents of High School Students: what do They Know about Drugs?

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the differences in adolescentsʼ parentsʼ perception regarding the illegal drugs and drugs consumption among the adolescents. In order to carry out the research, a sociological questionnaire was developed, subsecvently to a qualitative information obtained by organizing 6 focus groups. The field survey was conducted in the municipality of Arad consisted of polling through the questionnaire technique a number of 204 families of students from 12 high schools. The results showed significant differences at thresholds of less than 0.05 between the group with high school and university degrees for variable knowledge and symptoms, between the parent group of Catholic religion and the other two groups (Orthodox and neo-Protestant) for knowledge and drug variables and also significant differences depending of the family structure. Furthermore, there were no significant differences between groups regarding the financial level of the families and the living environment. During the research there was also followed the perspective of the parents of adolescents on the most used drugs among the students: in their opinion, the most used drugs are marijuana and ethnobotanical, with 120, respectively 113 points, followed by ecstasy and cocaine, with 75, respectively 64 points, and on the last places on consumption are the other types of drugs tested, with scores below 35 points. The result of Chi-square test showed that the values of χ² are statistically significant for all drug categories, except for ethnobotanicals, in other words, the results can be generalized to the entire population.

A New Strategy for Cervical Cancer Prevention Among Chinese Women: How Much Do They Know and How Do They React Toward the HPV Immunization?

In 2017, HPV vaccines were first marketed in China. We carried out an investigation among parents of high school students to assess parents' knowledge of cervical cancer and human papillomavirus (HPV)/HPV vaccines, along with their acceptance of HPV vaccination and the factors that influence it, all of which are essential for targeted education regarding HPV vaccination. A cross-sectional study was conducted among parents of high school students in East China using a pretested questionnaire. Data regarding knowledge of cervical cancer, HPV, HPV vaccines, and acceptance of the vaccines were collected and analyzed. In total, 1,200 questionnaires were distributed, with 1,125 valid responses. Overall, 87.5% of respondents knew that cervical cancer is one of the most common genital system cancers; 78.67% knew that HPV causes cervical cancer; 69.2% knew that HPV is primarily transmitted through sex; 54.3% knew that HPV vaccines exist; and 35.6% knew the optimal age for HPV vaccination. Only 4.4% had vaccinated their daughters for HPV, and 35.4% were willing to do so. Reasons for refusal primarily concerned the vaccines' safety (77.4%) and efficacy (61.5%). Multivariate analyses showed that parents who had obtained pneumococcal conjugate vaccines for their daughters showed higher acceptance of HPV vaccines, as well as higher knowledge of cervical cancer, the association of HPV and cervical cancer, and the main transmission route of HPV. Although parents' knowledge level regarding cervical cancer was moderate, it was very low regarding HPV and HPV vaccines. Teenagers' HPV vaccine uptake and parents' willingness to vaccinate their children was also quite low. Educational interventions and awareness campaigns are needed to ensure the success of HPV immunization programs in East China.

Parent's View on Importance of Regular School during Covid-19 Pandemic

An attempt has been made to analyze the effect of COVID-19 on the feeling of parents of school students studying in higher secondary classes of district Amritsar. The work was accomplished with the help of google forms and data were collected from the parents (n=33) on the pros and cons of online teaching system especially undertaken during lock down and curfew period. These google forms were sent to the parents of high school students of Disciplined Disciple Senior Secondary School, Amritsar. A total of 14 statements were formed having each with 4 options i.e., strongly agree, agree, neutral and disagree and numerical values allotted were 4, 3, 2 and 1, respectively. Based on the answers, mean score was calculated and ranking was done. The findings revealed that regular school was an important means for teaching the value of discipline in students and considered must by most of the parents (63.3%), similarly it was opined that children study better when they attend the school (60.6%). It was revealed that students study better in the schools than the online teaching system however, their eating habits were found to be improved after quarantine period. The data further revealed that tuition and online teaching was not a substitute for regular schooling system. In this time of crisis, for the overall progress of school going students, an effective educational practice for the capacity-building of young minds is required. It will develop skills that will drive their emotional stability, productivity, health, and overall well-being.
