THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.
After a brief hiatus, we are back with a new giveaway from our friends at STM Learning. This is a good one, folks–perfect for augmenting your library, assisting other members of your SART or MDT, or as a gift for a deserving team member. Find out how to enter after the jump…
Time once again for Articles of Note. All of these are from the late March/April/May (and in 1 case, July–go figure) issues and electronic previews. As always, please keep in mind this in no way a comprehensive list; simply items that have caught my attention from a selection of peer-reviewed journals. There is definitely something for everyone in this month’s review–lots of really good stuff in the literature. And a couple of the articles have free full text availability, so keep an eye out for the FULL-TEXT designation.
The Safe States Alliance is hosting a webinar highlighting public health contributions to violence prevention, April 19th from 2-3:30 pm ET. The session will emphasize how state and local health departments have successfully used their unique strengths to contribute to violence prevention efforts in their communities, states, and nationally.
This Thursday, April 7th, if you’re in the DC area, consider attending a congressional lunch briefing sponsored by the National Health Collaborative on Violence and Abuse. Please note, registration for the event is required.
The Protect Our Children Committee, a Pennsylvania-based child abuse prevention coalition, did an interesting survey on mandatory child abuse reporting in the state, and the results are a bit dismaying. It’s undoubtedly not unique to Pennsylvania, and may provide some food for thought related to the ways in which we provide training on this topic. You can read a summary of the report here (PDF).
I failed to get one of these done last month, so consider this a dual post: time once again for Articles of Note. All of these are from the late January/February/March/early April issues and electronic previews. As always, please keep in mind this in no way a comprehensive list; simply items that have caught my attention from a selection of peer-reviewed journals. Links lead to PubMed abstracts; from there you can choose what’s worth a.) paying for; b.) a pilgrimage to your nearest medical library; or c.) downloading via the full-text access you possibly have at your disposal.
For those of you who work with kids, check out today’s article in the NY Times. You’ll recognize Dr. Cindy Christian’s name in the article if you attended the 2010 Annual Assembly. It’s a very interesting read–I’ll look forward to hearing people’s opinions on it.
Time once again for Articles of Note. All of these are from the late December 2010/January 2011 issues and electronic previews.

Stop It Now is hosting a webinar December 7th from 9am, Competing Meanings of Childhood: Implications for Child Sexual Abuse Prevention. From the site: “As a child and family serving professional, have you ever thought about how assumptions about childhood impact your work or that of your agency or even policies that relate to your work? In this presentation Dr. Dominic Pasura of the Centre for Applied Childhood Studies, University of Huddersfield, UK, explores different meanings of children and childhood internationally and their significance in the prevention of child sexual abuse.”
Medscape has a few new articles of interest I thought I’d post. They’re always good for recent research recaps, and as always, they’re free to access. You just need to register over at the site, if you haven’t done so already.

The National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study (NLLFS) has published new data regarding the incidence of child abuse in lesbian families. The study “has been following and reporting on a cohort of planned lesbian families with children conceived through donor insemination…the NLLFS examines the social, psychological, and emotional development of the children as well as the dynamics of planned lesbian families. This is the longest-running and largest prospective investigation of lesbian mothers and their children in the United States. For nearly a quarter century, this study has been providing information to specialists in healthcare, family services, adoption, foster care, sociology, feminist studies, education, ethics, same-sex marriage, civil union, and public policy on matters pertaining to LGBT families.”

UNIFEM has created the Virtual Knowledge Center to End Violence Against Women and Girls that is certainly worth perusing. From the looks of the site, there are still multiple modules yet to come (including one on health and another on justice), but to date there are several live modules, and it’s beautifully searchable.
Sorry to be article-heavy this week, but this month’s issue of Pediatrics has several relevant free, full-text articles available that I thought readers might be interested in. You’ll find the links after the jump.
I’m running off to Maxwell AFB, and then back to DC for the week, but before I go, time once again for this month’s edition of Articles of Note. All of these are from the August/September/October issues and electronic previews. Please note, we have one full-text article available this month, and a link to an entire journal, which is new.

First off, a thank you to everyone on the testimony webinar yesterday. What a fantastic turnout! And some really great questions, as well.
Over at NCPTC, they have a webinar next week on suggestability. It will take place September 16th at 3pm CT, and cost is $10. I’m not a peds person, but I looked at the slides (PDF), and I have to confess, I found the research and the discussion in them pretty fascinating.

I’m back from Seoul (14 hours in coach–ugh), and although it was a truly amazing week, I’m glad to be back in the office this week, if only for a minute. There’s much to post on, starting with a couple interesting podcasts from ReachMD. They appear to be doing a series on child health issues, and I’m including a couple notables here that might be relevant to your practice.
Apologies for missing a post yesterday, but I had a busted router, and therefore, no internet connection. Had I been up and running, I would have brought you this video clip [after the jump], which I find pretty disturbing. As far as things go, I’d say breast ironing, a practice found in Cameroon (in part to theoretically prevent young women from being raped) is right up there with genital mutilation.
