We propose to initiate several pilot projects and corresponding studies, followed by dissemination and implementation activities, in order to raise awareness of children's rights among youth professionals and children, and implement children's rights in professional practice. We have some options and ideas to perform these research activities in the Netherlands, but we are looking for international partners so we can a) learn from previous experiences and b) accomplish that more people and organizations benefit from the projects and findings. At the 2019 CARPE conference, our aim is to find universities of applied sciences that have expertise on children's rights, and that are willing to collaborate with us on further developing and carrying out the proposed research.

Dat laatste is opmerkelijk omdat campagnes die gericht zijn op het algemene publiek zelden veranderingen in gedrag tot stand brengen. Dit roept de vraag op of de directe omgeving van mogelijk mishandelde kinderen wellicht beter inzetbaar is voor vroegtijdige signalering en interventie.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Background. Active modes of transport like walking and cycling have been shown to be valuable contributions to daily physical activity. The current study investigates associations between personal and neighbourhood environmental characteristics and active transport among inhabitants of Dutch deprived districts. Method. Questionnaires about health, neighbourhoods, and physical activity behaviour were completed by 742 adults. Data was analysed by means of multivariate linear regression analyses. Results. Being younger, female, and migrant and having a normal weight were associated with more walking for active transport. Being younger, male, and native Dutch and having a normal weight were associated with more cycling for active transport....

This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Previous studies of the long-term effects of maternal postpartum depression (PPD) on child development have mostly focused on a limited set of outcomes, and have often not controlled for risk factors associated with maternal depression. The present study compared children of postpartum depressed mothers (n = 29) with children from a community sample (n = 113) in terms of a broad range of developmental outcomes in the early school period. Controlling for risk factors associated with maternal depression, we found that children of postpartum depressed mothers had lower ego-resiliency, lower peer social competence, and lower school adjustment than the community sample children. In addition, girls of postpartum depressed mothers showed lower verbal intelligence, and, unexpectedly, showed fewer externalizing problems than their counterparts in the community sample. Results show that children’s ca...

This paper describes the theoretical background, program content and process evaluation of the Exercise without Worries (EWW) course, a new exercise-enhanced psycho-educative intervention that targets coping and reducing stress and depressive symptoms among disadvantaged women. This eight-week prevention course has been tailored to the specific needs of adult low-SES women. Methods: The process evaluation used a descriptive, observational mixed methods design. Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered to determine implementation fidelity and subjective evaluations from the 135 participating women and the intervention providers. Results: Overall attendance rates were satisfactory, but 26% of the recruited participants did not take part in the course. Implementation fidelity was sufficient, while the delivered intervention dose deviated on average for 1 out of 8 sessions from the manual. Overall, the participants reported being very satisfied with all organizational and content aspects of the intervention, with no specific preference for either exercise or psycho-education. Conclusions: The findings suggest that a non-stigmatizing approach of exercise and psycho-education appears to fit with the preferences of low-SES women for preventive interventions. By extending the number of sessions and identifying reasons for non-participation, the program contents and execution can be improved for future adoption and implementation.

One Measure, Two Motives. Prediction of Condom Use and Interaction Between Two Prevention Goals Among Heterosexual Young Adults: Preventing Pregnancy and/or Sexually Transmitted Diseases

We compared two intentions to use condoms with a new sex partner: one based on a vignette not mentioning pregnancy risk and one on a vignette explicitly stating there was no risk of pregnancy. We also investigated whether intentions to use condoms change when there is no pregnancy risk, to allow such changes to be predicted from an STD risk-perception perspective. This cross-sectional survey was completed by 151 undergraduate students. The correlation coefficient between the two intentions about condom use approached zero (0.02; p=.783). Logistic regression showed that two STD risk-perception variables distinguished between consistent and non-consistent reporters of their intention to use condoms. Findings are discussed from the perspectives of policy, methodology and theory.

The stages of change construct, as proposed by the Transtheoretical Model, may provide a useful approach to explain non-professional helping behavior. The objective of this study was to test the applicability of the stages of change construct by (i) assessing whether cognitive determinants distinguish between the stages, (ii) testing the predictive value of the stages for future helping behavior and (iii) examining the mediating role of the stages in the relation between previous and future helping behavior. Data of 126 adult non-professional bystanders were analyzed. Respondents were questioned by telephone or via an Internet questionnaire, at baseline and after a follow-up of about two months later. Attitude toward helping was significantly less positive in pre-contemplation than in the other stages, and self-efficacy expectations were significantly higher in preparation compared with the other stages. Moreover, baseline preparators were more likely to conduct future helping behavior than those in the two earlier stages. Finally, the stages of change mediated the relation between previous and future helping behavior. Initial support was found for the applicability of the stages of change construct for helping behavior by non-professional bystanders.
Gezondheid van bewoners van aandachtswijken in 2004-2011. Leidt een betere wijk tot een betere gezondheid?

Opzet Quasi-experimenteel, herhaald dwarsdoorsnedeonderzoek. Methode We vergeleken de trends in de prevalentie van gezondheidsproblemen (‘minder dan goede’ ervaren gezondheid en geestelijke gezondheid) en gezondheidsgerelateerd gedrag (fysieke inactiviteit en roken) in de 40 aandachtswijken in 18 steden met die in de controlewijken met multilevel logistische regressieanalyses. We voerden tijdreeksanalyses uit over de periode vóór en na de start van de implementatie van de wijkenaanpak in 2008, waarbij we controleerden voor veranderingen in de bevolkingssamenstelling van de wijken. Resultaten Sinds 2008 nam de prevalentie van een aantal gezondheidsproblemen en ongezonde gedragingen in de aandachtswijken meer af dan in de controlewijken. Dit gold in het bijzonder voor wandelen in de vrije tijd. De prevalentie hiervan nam in de aandachtswijken toe van 55% in 2008 tot 71% in 2011. Ook voor andere indicatoren zagen we positieve trends, maar alleen in die aandachtswijken waar grote investeringen op meerdere thema’s waren gedaan en waar vooral investeringen in de omgeving waren gedaan op het gebied van wonen, veiligheid en integratie. Conclusie Dit onderzoek levert een voorzichtige aanwijzing dat verbetering van de maatschappelijke omstandigheden op wijkniveau de gezondheid van de bewoners verbetert. Deze activiteiten zullen wel op meerdere beleidsterreinen tegelijk moeten worden ingezet en voldoende bewoners moeten bereiken.
