| This report is the second in a series of
annual process evaluation survey results for the Aboriginal Head
Start (AHS) Program in Urban and Northern Communities. It presents
key findings of the National Administrative and Process Evaluation
Survey 2000. The National Administrative and Process Evaluation Survey
collects data regarding characteristics of the program and its participants,
project administration and coordination, program components and the
various activities associated with them, and program needs and finances.
A National AHS Impact Evaluation is in development and will be the
mechanism through which AHS will determine the impact the program
is having on children, parents and the community. The survey results
highlighted here are instrumental in developing the National Impact
Evaluation. |

| 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.

| 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.

| 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. These include campaigns to increase public awareness,
education programs, injury surveillance programs, research and the
development of safety technologies, legislation and healthy public
policies.

| 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.

HTML / PDF (74

| 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.

| The data show that in 1998 slightly more
than one in three Canadian employees experienced a high level of
work-life conflict; one third reported high levels of depressed mood;
half experienced high levels of perceived stress; and one quarter
felt "burned out" from their jobs. These numbers have increased
since 1991-92. During this same time period absenteeism and visits
to the physician have also increased while the number of Canadian
employees who reporting high job satisfaction, and high life satisfaction
has declined. |

HTML / PDF (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.

| 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.

| Central to the concept of
schooling is the recognition that students' positive social bonds
with schools are highly related to their well-being in terms of (a)
academic performance, (b) social behaviours, and (c) physical and
mental health. With the availability of the data from the Cross-National
Survey on Health Behaviours in School-Aged Children (HBSC), the effects
of school experiences on a number of health outcomes and behaviours
of Canadian youth were examined.

| Fathering: a Commitment redefined.
Many factors have led to the redefinition of the role of the father,
starting with the will of fathers themselves. However, the few resources
available to make fathering easier are still widely unknown. This
catalogue will be an inspiration to the people who already work passionately
to support fathers in their commitment to their children as well
as to those who plan to join the efforts.

| The primary focus of this
project was to examine developmental changes in parent-child relationships,
and their associations with child adjustment between late childhood
and mid-adolescence. These questions were addressed using data from
two large, nationally representative samples of Canadian children
and adolescents. Recommendations for healthy parenting practices
and government initiatives are summarized.

| 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.

| 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.

HTML / PDF (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.

| 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.

| 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 (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.

| The Opportunity of Adolescence:
The Health Sector Contribution is an evidence-based informational
resource that identifies opportunities for growth where the health
sector could, on its own and in collaboration with other sectors,
contribute to healthy adolescent development. The paper focuses on
healthy adolescent development and the need to invest in Canada's
youth and work directly with young people to improve their health.
It is hoped that this paper will be a valuable contribution to discussions
occurring within organizations, between sectors and in the broader
stakeholder community and will assist in developing strategies to
improve the health outcomes for adolescents.
