Researchers explore non-adherence to COVID-19 public health measures by parents middlesex_cc COVID19 SARSCoV2 PublicHealthMeasures
People do not always adhere to medical recommendations, including COVID-19-related PHMs; for example, breaking quarantine or not reporting symptoms. Moreover, they are only sometimes honest about medical information. Parents experienced more stress during the COVID-19 pandemic than non-parents due to additional PHMs for children, such as school closures and quarantine rules.
The survey queried whether parents ever engaged in seven types of misrepresentations and non-adherence behaviors regarding PHMs for their children. These were breaking quarantine rules, not mentioning that they knew/thought their child had COVID-19 to someone the child was with, lying about vaccination status or children’s age to get them vaccinated, avoiding COVID-19 tests, and not quarantining when they were supposed to.
The final sample comprised 1733 adults and 580 parents with children younger than 18 years were included in the analyses. Participants were, on average, aged 35.9. Most subjects were females and non-Hispanic White . Nearly 26% of individuals reported misrepresentation or non-adherence to one of the seven behaviors.
Conclusions In sum, the researchers observed that a quarter of participants engaged in non-adherence or misrepresentation regarding COVID-19-related PHMs for their children. Preserving parental autonomy was the most common reason. Additional reasons were not being able to miss work/other responsibilities to stay home and wanting a normal life for their children.

Researchers find rate of fatal opioid poisonings among children more than doubled over 13-year spanResearchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have found that opioids were responsible for more than half of all fatal poisonings in children ages 5 and younger between 2005 and 2018, more than double the proportion of fatal poisonings caused by opioids in 2005. Additionally, over-the-counter drugs still contribute to fatal poisonings in this age group despite increased regulation. The findings, published today in the journal Pediatrics, underscore the need for improved intervention to prevent further fatal poisonings.
