HTML PDF Version (60 pages. 1MB) |
| Secure attachment has been increasingly recognized as central to adaptive functioning over the life span. During the last two decades, researchers have clarified the role of attachment security in promoting psychological well-being during infancy and adulthood. Most recently, attention has turned toward understanding the role of attachment with parents to healthy adjustment during adolescence. This paper presents a critical review of the research literature on the relation between attachment to parents during adolescence and social adjustment, and summarizes the recommendations for healthy parenting practices, government programming and research. | ||

Each week, 3 babies die of SIDS in Canada. Such deaths usually occur while the child is sleeping and remain unexplained even after a full investigation. Nobody knows how to prevent SIDS, but the latest research shows that there are things you can do to make your baby safer. | ||

| Unintentional injury continues to be the greatest cause of mortality, morbidity and disability for children and youth in Canada. Injury rates have been decreasing, however, and this has generally been attributed to the efforts of injury prevention stakeholders involved in a broad range of injury control strategies.

PDF Version (59 pages. 1MB) |
| In September 2000, First Ministers announced the Early Childhood Development Agreement, a joint commitment to foster the health and well-being of Canada's young children. Under this agreement, the government of Canada is providing $2.2 billion over 5 years, beginning in 2001, to help provincial and territorial governments improve and expand early childhood development programs and services. To give Canadians a clear idea of the progress being made, governments agreed to report regularly on how young children are doing and on their investments in early childhood development programs and services. In keeping with this commitment to report to Canadians, the Government of Canada has released its baseline report entitled : Federal/Provincial/Territorial Early Childhood Development Agreeement : Report on Government of Canada Activities and Expenditures 2000-2001. This report meets the first of the federal public reporting obligations under the Agreement. It provides a comprehensive overview of the Government of Canada's current activities and expenditures in the area of early childhood development. It includes descriptions of each activity, the approximate number of children and families served, and expenditures for 1999-2000 and 2000-2001. | ||

|
| The Public Health Agency of Canada and Health Canada's Community Based Programs addressing prenatal and early childhood issues, hold great potential in reducing the harms associated with substance use during pregnancy because of their concern for the overall health of pregnant women, families and young children. Whether an individual child will have FAS or related effects appears to depend on a number of factors in addition to alcohol exposure, including prenatal health, nutrition, and other drug use, lifestyle and socio-economic factors. Therefore, substance use and pregnancy issues are best addressed in the context of the overall health of a family and a comprehensive, integrated response by communities, as represented by the CAPC, CPNP and AHS projects. | ||

| Family-Centred Maternity and Newborn Care: National Guidelines - Introduction and Table of Contents | 0-662-28702-9 H39-527/2000E |
HTML PDF Version (20 pages.
91KB) |
The Family-Centred Maternity and Newborn Care: National Guidelines, 4th Edition, were developed as a result of a collaborative process involving health care providers and consumers. As we move into the new millennium, these Guidelines will help us achieve the objective that we all share - a healthy and satisfying pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience for all mothers, babies and families. Family-centred maternity and newborn care is a complex, multidimensional, dynamic process of providing safe, skilled and individualized care. It responds to the physical, emotional and psychosocial needs of the woman and her family. In family-centred maternity and newborn care, pregnancy and birth are considered normal, healthy life events. As well, family-centred maternity and newborn care recognizes the significance of family support, participation, and choice. In effect, it reflects an attitude rather than a protocol. Readers are advised that the Family-Centred Maternity and Newborn Care: National Guidelines were developed and released in the year 2000. The content has not been revised since the original publishing date and there may be new findings that are not reflected in this publication. |

PDF Version (224
pages. 3.2MB) |
| The report Healthy Development of Children and Youth is an examination of healthy child development from the perspective of a Population Health Approach. It is intended as a starting point for the discussion and action aimed at improving the prospects of Canadian children and youth. It compiles existing research to explain how various determinants of health interact to shape healthy child development and to depict conditions and trends relevant to the health and well-being of children and youth in Canada. Each of the major determinants of health are examined in relation to healthy child development, other determinants of health and their impact on children and their families. The determinants of health are examined using a Population Health Approach, which incorporates the broad determinants of health and well-being, provides a useful framework for organizing evidence about the factors that contribute to children's health, and for highlighting promising avenues for further research and action. For this report, healthy child development, itself a determinant of health, serves as the filter or lens through which the other determinants of health are viewed and analyzed. | ||

| Childhood injury prevention is one of the key action areas under the Child Development Initiative which was designed to address the conditions of risk faced by young children in Canada. This study is one of many projects supported under this Initiative. While we know that the prevention of injuries is a priority health issue, relatively little is known about parental knowledge and attitudes towards preventing injuries for their children. This project addresses this research gap and provides information that will be helpful in the development of effective injury prevention programs and policies. | ||
| Parenting Today's Teens: A Survey and Review of Resources | H39-462/1999E 0-662-27535-7 |
HTML * PDF Version (60 pages. 475KB) |
| Parents and teens face tremendous pressures in today's world. Families often ask how they can strengthen the parent -teen relationship. They turn to parent educators, other professionals and community organizations for support, but information on currently available programs is often difficult to find. This document will help professionals who work with parents of teens to identify and locate resources specifically designed to help families at this stage of their parenting. It will also assist parents themselves when they look for an appropriate parenting course or if they wish to organize one in their community. | ||

| Pro-Action, Postponement, and Preparation/Support - A Framework for Action to Reduce the Rate of Teen Pregnancy in Canada | HTML * PDF Version (27 pages. 294KB) |
|
| The project's goal was to develop a framework for action to reduce the rate of teen pregnancy in Canada. The objectives were to learn what is currently being done and what needs to be done on this issue across the country, and to explore the potential role of projects funded by the federal Community Action Program for Children (CAPC) and Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program (CPNP) in reducing the rate of teen pregnancy. The findings of this report are based on a literature review, a survey of 40 key informants, five consultations with youth, and a survey of 756 CAPC/CPNP projects across Canada. Special efforts were made to include the Aboriginal perspective in developing this report. | ||

| Reaching Canadian Communities: Overview of the Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program's Individual Project Questionnaire Report | HTML PDF Version (8 pages. 476KB) |
|
| This brief report sums up what CPNP project representatives - the people on the ground in CPNP-funded initiatives - told Health Canada in the Individual Project Questionnaire (IPQ). As a snapshot, it portrays the key characteristics of projects across Canada. These initial findings confirm that CPNP is a strong force in Canadian communities: prenatal nutrition projects do fill important service gaps; they can be an agent for change in the communities where they operate; and they have an impressive ability to lever local support - be it in the form of volunteer hours, financial or other in-kind contributions. | ||

|
| Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), also known as Crib Death, refers to the sudden and unexpected death of an apparently healthy infant under one year of age. Each week, 3 babies die of SIDS in Canada. Such deaths usually occur while the child is sleeping and remain unexplained even after a full investigation. Nobody knows how to prevent SIDS, but the latest research shows that there are things you can do to make your baby safer. | ||
| Strong Families, Healthy Children - Canada's Community Action Program for Children: Celebrating the Community Action Program for Children | HTML(Part 1) HTML(Part 2) PDF Version (12 pages. 2.6MB) |
|
| The Public Health Agency of Canada's Community Action Program for Children (CAPC) is an exciting, innovative, community-based response to a national concern. It springs from the awareness that communities are best positioned to recognize the needs of their children, and have the capacity to draw together the resources to address those needs. CAPC builds on community strength by funding community-based coalitions to establish and deliver services to meet the developmental needs of children living in conditions of risk. | ||
| Supporting Immigrant and Refugee Fathers - A training Manual for Human Service Workers: Module I | HTML PDF Version (37 pages. 517KB) |
|
| It is the intention that this manual will comprise a major step in understanding the barriers to paternal engagement in general and specifically in the population of immigrant and refugee fathers. Ultimately, children and families will benefit from increased sensitivity of service providers and increased competency in planning and implementing family support services that are accessible and meaningful to fathers. It is hoped that this project will address the lost opportunities for child focussed services to build upon the strengths that many men bring to the parenting situation (McBride and Rane, 1997), strengths that, if fostered and supported, will strengthen families and enhance the healthy development of children. | ||
