“…The majority of the reviews was made up of interventions whose evidence was proven.promising ( n = 5): this concerned intervention results based on either insufficient statistical power (linked to the fact that the samples were too small) or the fact that it was impossible to draw long-term conclusions from the results [21, 30, 36, 42]. …”

Supporting parenting to address social inequalities in health: a synthesis of systematic reviews

BackgroundIn 2009, the World Health Organization’s Commission on Social Determinants of Health set out its recommendations for action, which included establishing equity from early childhood onwards by enabling all children and their mothers to benefit from a comprehensive package of quality programmes. In order to address social inequalities in health, it is recommended that action be taken from early childhood, and actions providing support for parenting are an effective lever in this respect.The aim of this review of systematic reviews is to analyse, on the one hand, the components and characteristics of effective interventions in parenting support and, on the other, the extent to which the reviews took into account social inequalities in health.MethodsA total of 796 reviews were selected from peer-reviewed journals published between 2009 and 2016 in French or English. Of these, 21 reviews responding to the AMSTAR and selected ROBIS criteria were retained. These were analysed in relation to the consideration they gave to social inequalities in health according to PRISMA-equity.ResultsThe reviews confirmed that parenting support programmes improved infants’ sleep, increased mothers’ self-esteem and reduced mothers’ anger, anxiety and stress levels. The mainly authors noted that the contexts in which the interventions had taken place were described either scantly or not at all, making it difficult to evaluate them.Only half of the reviews had addressed the question of social inequalities in health. In particular, there had been little research conducted on the relational aspect and the social link.ConclusionIn terms of addressing social inequalities in perinatal health, the approach remains both modest and reductive. Understanding how, for whom and in what conditions interventions operate is one way of optimising their results. Further research is needed to study the interactions between the interventions and their contexts.

“…(25) A meta-analysis of education programmes was conducted to determine non-cognitive developmental benefits of parenting and early childhood education programmes, as this information was not available in existing systematic reviews. The maltreatment review updated the Lancet 2009 series article on prevention of child maltreatment (26) and a systematic review of child maltreatment prevention reviews, (27) by reviewing recent reviews of maltreatment prevention interventions (24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)., including home visiting, (28)(29)(30), parenting-training programmes, (31,32) sexual abuse prevention programmes, (33,34) universal campaigns to prevent physical abuse, (35) behavioural and counseling interventions,(36) detection of child maltreatment, (37) and three review studies on prevention of child maltreatment. (38)(39)(40) The social protection review examined five systematic reviews that focused on the effects of social programmes, including conditional and unconditional cash transfers and microcredit schemes.…”

“…A systematic review of 12 parenting interventions for reducing harsh/abusive parenting in LMICs found potentially positive results on a range of parenting measures, but the quality of included trials was generally low. (31) Early intervention that occurs prior to the onset of abusive and neglectful parenting is crucial to preventing maltreatment. One specific parenting programme (Triple P) has shown some promise in one HIC RCT.…”

Nurturing care: promoting early childhood development

et al. 2017

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a historic opportunity to implement at scale interventions to promote Early Childhood Development (ECD). While the evidence base for the importance of ECD has grown, the research is distributed across sectors, populations, and settings with diversity noted in the scope and focus. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive updated analyses of ECD interventions across five sectors: health; nutrition; education; child protection; and social protection. Our review concludes that to make interventions, successful, smarter and sustainable, they need to be implemented as multi-sectoral intervention packages anchored in "nurturing care". The recommendations emphasize that intervention packages should be applied at developmentally appropriate times during the life-course, target multiple risks, and build on existing delivery platforms for feasibility of scale-up. While interventions will continue to improve with the growth of developmental science, the evidence is now strong that parents, caregivers, and families need to be supported in providing nurturing care and protection for young children to achieve their developmental potential.

“…However, a focus on primary prevention of ACEs, in which the incidence of ACEs is reduced at the population level, will have the greatest individual and societal impact (52,53). In order to accomplish this, the interventions should focus on strengthening individual and community resilience rather than solely identifying and responding to individual ACEs by strengthening communities and reducing resource disparity.…”

Adverse childhood experiences and trauma informed care: the future of health care

et al. 2015

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are related to shortand long-term negative physical and mental health consequences among children and adults. Studies of the last three decades on ACEs and traumatic stress have emphasized their impact and the importance of preventing and addressing trauma across all service systems utilizing universal systemic approaches. Current developments on the implementation of trauma informed care (TIC) in a variety of service systems call for the surveillance of trauma, resiliency, functional capacity, and health impact of ACEs. Despite such efforts in adult medical care, early identification of childhood trauma in children still remains a significant public health need. This article reviews
