Grewal, Eshleen Kaur; Doyle-Baker, Patricia – Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching, 2017
The academic discipline of kinesiology is relatively new (1960s) and is devoted to the study of human movement. The knowledge base and subject of study continues to develop and now includes inquiry regarding the impact of physical activity on health, society, and quality of life. The purpose of this course content evaluation was to identify…

Rodríguez, Jennifer J.; Smith, Vincent C. – ZERO TO THREE, 2018
Substance use and alcohol abuse during pregnancy are significant public health concerns. Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is a withdrawal syndrome that infants exposed to opioids may experience in the first few days of life. For most infants with NAS, exposure to opioids occurs during pregnancy while they are fetuses. Similarly, prenatal alcohol…

Mota, Natália Bezerra; Copelli, Mauro; Ribeiro, Sidarta – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2016
The early onset of mental disorders can lead to serious cognitive damage, and timely interventions are needed in order to prevent them. In patients of low socioeconomic status, as is common in Latin America, it can be hard to identify children at risk. Here, we briefly introduce the problem by reviewing the scarce epidemiological data from Latin…
