“…These data are proportionate with Polaha et al, [26] who showed such problems are predominant in rural Children. Meanwhile, our findings were not in the agreement with the results of Elbedour et al, [27] who reported that Bedouin children had higher levels of fear, inattention, and hyperactivity behaviour than urban children.…”

BACKGROUND:Population of South Sinai has suffered from negligence for many years. Solving educational problems of this population is the main concern nowadays.AIM:To assess academic achievement in primary school children in South Sinai in relation to intelligence and psychosocial profile.SUBJECTS AND METHODS:A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted on 407 Bedouin and urban students randomly selected from twelve public primary schools in six cities in South Sinai. Intelligence was assessed using Goodenough-Harris test. The midyear Arabic language and Arithmetic scores were used to assess academic achievement. The teachers completed a Pediatric-Symptom Checklist for evaluation of children behaviour.RESULTS:A statistically significant difference in academic achievement (P < 0.001), total psychosocial scores, (P < 0.05), and externalization (P < 0.05) was found between urban and Bedouin students with significant gender differences (P < 0.05). Highly significant positive correlations were observed between IQ percentile and mid-year Arabic language scores and Arithmetic scores (P < 0.001), and significant negative correlations with the total score of PSCL and its subscale scores (externalising, inattention, and internalising behaviour) (P < 0.001) among the students.CONCLUSION:Comorbid academic and psychosocial dysfunction in primary school children were observed in South Sinai. A national strategy to minimise the educational gap between Bedouin and urban areas should be implemented.

“…However, of the children in the pediatric patients group, 34.1 and 18.0 %, respectively, had abnormal and borderline total difficulties scores, suggesting possible psychiatrics disturbances. There is a higher prevalence of emotional and behavior problems in pediatric primary care compared with the prevalence measured in community samples (Bilfield et al 2006; Polaha et al 2011). Our findings are in agreement with other studies that showed higher SDQ scores in clinical nonpsychiatric samples.…”

In this study we examined the validity of the Azeri version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The SDQ was administered to the parents of two samples of 4–16-year-old children: the case group was drawn from children presenting to the psychiatric outpatient service (n = 347) and the comparison group from the pediatric outpatient service (n = 267). The total difficulties score and the scores for each subscale were compared between two groups. The proportion of children with the total difficulties score in the abnormal range was higher in the case group than in the comparison group (74 and 34 %, p <0.001). The mean difficulties score difference between two groups was significant (mean difference = 6.3, p <0.001). The Receiver Operating Characteristics analysis showed good discriminative ability for the total difficulties score and difficulties subscales (p <0.001). SDQ distinguished well between groups.

“…Consequently, because there are limited resources to address severe eating concerns in group-based programs, this can result in the participation of children who may not be appropriate for lifestyle weight management programs. Children in rural areas may also be more likely to have other significant health and mental health challenges (Cayce et al, 2005;Polaha, Dalton, & Allen, 2011), such as developmental delays and behavioral disorders, which may not be adequately identified or treated due to decreased access to care. These comorbidities may impact child participation in a group setting and may present obstacles to helping families adopt healthier lifestyle behaviors, ultimately limiting benefits from being in a group-based weight management program.…”
