  • News Society Second thoughts Home truths Poor housing can destroy a child's future, says Lisa Harker Share 3 Email Lisa Harker The Guardian, Tuesday 12 September 2006 Britain is hooked on housing. Queues snake round DIY retail parks each weekend, and TV schedules are saturated with home makeover shows. But there is one area where the appetite for all things housing appears to have stopped short.While the government's Every Child Matters programme for child welfare picks out health, safety, economic well-being, making a positive contribution, enjoying and achieving as the critical factors that shape children's lives, there is no explicit recognition of the role that housing plays - despite the fact that more than a million children in Britain are living in poor housing.That figure will come as no surprise to professionals working at the sharp end of the housing crisis, but whether the scale of the problem is grasped by those shaping public policy is far from clear.Earlier this year I was commissioned by Shelter, the housing and homelessness charity, to undertake a comprehensive review of research examining the impact of bad housing on children's future chances. The resulting report, Chance of a Lifetime, published today, documents the powerful influence of poor housing on children's lives and shows how its destabilising impact is felt long into adulthood.

  • On every aspect of life - mental, physical, emotional, social and economic - living in bad housing can hand children a devastating legacy. Studies show that poor housing can lead to a 25% higher risk of experiencing severe ill-health and disability before they reach middle age. In particular, such children face a greater chance of developing meningitis, infections, asthma or other respiratory problems

  • It can also have a devastating impact on emotional wellbeing. Research shows that homeless children are three to four times more likely to have mental health problems than other children
  • How can a homeless child flourish when they are two to three times more likely to be absent from school and become used to watching their no more able, but well-housed, contemporaries leapfrog their progress? How can a child develop healthily when their home is cold and damp, their chest hurts when they breathe, and they can't sleep at night, as one girl described her experience of living in a house where the heating does not work?

    Where a child is required to make their home has a lasting effect on their health and their well-being. This carries into society and has an effect there as well.

    CQ Researcher is often the first source that librarians recommend when researchers are seeking original, comprehensive reporting and analysis on issues in the news. Founded in 1923 as Editorial Research Reports, CQ Researcher is noted for its in-depth, unbiased coverage of health, social trends, criminal justice, international affairs, education, the environment, technology, and the economy. Reports are published weekly in print and online 44 times a year by CQ Press, an imprint of SAGE Publications. Each single-themed, 12,000-word report is researched and written by a seasoned journalist. The consistent, reader-friendly organization provides researchers with an introductory overview; background and chronology on the topic; an assessment of the current situation; tables and maps; pro/con statements from representatives of opposing positions; and bibliographies of key sources.

    Music as a health patterning modality for preterm infants in the NICU Neal, Diana Odland . University of Minnesota, ProQuest, UMI Dissertations Publishing, 2008. 3330515. Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers Hide highlighting Abstract (summary) Translate Abstract Preterm birth is on the rise causing neonatal mortality and is a major determinant of early childhood mortality and morbidity in the United States. Numerous preterm infants suffer from neurological disability including cerebral palsy; visual and hearing impairments; learning difficulties; and, psychological, behavioral, and social problems. This increasing incidence of prematurity, prevalence of significant morbidity, and burden to society, both personal and cost-related, make it imperative to identify developmental care strategies such as music that might reduce this burden . This study integrates the work of music therapy, neuroscience, audiology, and medicine with nursing to address the uncertainty regarding the effect of music as a holistic health patterning modality and discover if preterm infant physiological and neurobehavioral state responses to music and ambient noise are different. The goal of this study was to establish a foundation for further research related to the use of music with preterm infants and to address the issue of safety in providing music as a health patterning modality for this population. Forty-one clinically stable, non-ventilated, appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) preterm infants from 32 to 35 weeks gestation in a large, urban Midwest Children's Hospital NICU were included in this study. An interrupted time-series design with repeated measures was used to explore the health patterning responses of preterm infants to an intentionally designed music intervention of recorded piano music. The effect of the music was measured every 30-seconds before, during, and after the sound condition of music or ambient noise by observi
