an equivalence evaluation of a nurse moderated group based internet support program for new mothers versus standard care a pragmatic preference randomised controlled trial
BMC Pediatrics, 2014Co-Authors: Alyssa C P Sawyer, Kerrie Bowering, Debra Jeffs, Jenny Clark, Christine Mpundukaambwa, John Lynch, Michael G SawyerAbstract:Background: All mothers in South Australia are offered a clinic or home-visit by a Child and Family Health community nurse in the initial postnatal weeks. Subsequent support is available on request from staff in community clinics and from a telephone helpline. The aim of the present study is to compare equivalence of a single clinic-based appointment plus a nurse-moderated group-based internet intervention when infants were aged 0– 6m onths versus as ingle home-visit together with subsequent standard Services (the latter support was available to mothers in both study groups). Methods/Design: The evaluation utilised a pragmatic preference randomised trial comparing the equivalence of outcomes for mothers and infants across the two study groups. Eligible mothers were those whose Services were provided by nurses working in one of six community clinics in the metropolitan region of Adelaide. Mothers were excluded if they did not have internet access, required an interpreter, or their nurse clinician recommended that they not participate due to issues such as domestic violence or substance abuse. Randomisation was based on the Service Identification number sequentially assigned to infants when referred to the Child and Family Health Services from birthing units (this was done by administrative staff who had no involvement in recruiting mothers, delivering the intervention, or analyzing results for the study). Consistent with design and power calculations, 819 mothers were recruited to th et rial. The primary outcomes for the trial are parents’ sense of competence and self-efficacy measured using standard self-report questionnaires. Secondary outcomes include the quality of mother-infant relationships, maternal social support, role satisfaction and maternal mental health, infant social-emotional and language development, and patterns of Service utilisation. Maternal and infant outcomes will be evaluated using age-appropriate questionnaires when infants are aged <2 months (pre-intervention), 9, 15, and 21 months. Discussion: We know of no previous study that has evaluated an intervention that combines the capacity of nurse and internet-based Services to improve outcomes for mothers and infants. The knowledge gained from this study will inform the design and conduct of community-based postnatal mother and child support programs.

identifying domestic and international sex trafficking victims during human Service provision
Trauma Violence & Abuse, 2012Co-Authors: Rebecca J Macy, Laurie M GrahamAbstract:Children, youth, and adults of both genders are sex trafficked into and throughout the United States every day. Regrettably, little attention has been given to how human Service providers might identify the sex-trafficking victims they are likely to encounter. To address this knowledge gap, the authors review 20 documents with the aim of detecting and synthesizing Service Identification recommendations in the scientific literature, government reports, and documents produced by organizations working with sex-trafficking victims. The review shows consensus regarding Identification recommendations, including (a) trafficking indicators, (b) victim interaction strategies, (c) immediate response strategies, and (d) child-specific information. The review also shows consensus regarding screening questions that are important for Service providers to use in identifying sex-trafficking victims. These questions relate to the victims’ safety, employment, living environment, and travel and immigration status in additio...

The review also shows consensus regarding screening questions that are important for Service providers to use in identifying sex-trafficking victims. These questions relate to the victims' safety, employment, living environment, and travel and immigration status in addition to specific questions used with children and youth. The review results offer human Service providers a preliminary set of screening strategies and questions that can be used to identify sex-trafficking victims in the context of human Services. Building on the review findings, the authors offer policy and research recommendations.
