Objectives This study aimed to understand the influences and decisions of households with children with asthma regarding keeping warm and well at home in winter.
Conclusions The findings illustrate how and why a child with asthma may be at risk of a cold home. A ‘trade-off model’ has been developed as an output of the research to explain the competing demands on families. Messages emerge about the importance of tailored advice and information to families vulnerable to cold-related harm. Open Access Article

These are common difficulties with up to 15% of toddlers being ‘late talkers’ and 7% of children entering school with persisting impairments of their language development. These delays can confer disadvantages in the long term, adversely affecting language, cognition, academic attainment, behaviour and mental health.

Context
Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood. The risk of developing asthma is associated with environmental exposures, including tobacco smoke, air pollution, dust mites, endotoxin and farm animals.1 A lower prevalence of asthma among children in farm environments supports the hygiene hypothesis on the role of childhood exposure to microbes in developing a more favourable immune system. The effect of exposures to domestic dogs has been less clear. Fall et al undertook a nationwide study to investigate the association between early exposures to dogs as well as farm environment and risk of childhood … To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details
