Introduction: ‘Good touch’ and ‘bad touch’ is a sensitive topic whose relevance is very high in the present-day scenario. Children in India are not aware about the topic and thus become more susceptible to child sexual abuse (CSA), a rising evil in society. Objectives: To assess the awareness of ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’ amongst school children. Method: An observational, questionnaire‐based cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 children studying in Class III to Class VI in two schools of a metropolis in North India. A structured pre-validated questionnaire was used to assess the awareness and knowledge of study participants on ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 23.0. Results: Of the 200 children 61% said that they have some previous knowledge about ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’, while 39% were totally unaware about it. Excellent scores were obtained by 20% students, good scores by 63% students and average scores by 17% students. There was no significant association of awareness of ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’ with any of the socio-demographic variables. Conclusions: Excellent scores were obtained by 20% students, good scores by 63% students and average scores by 17% students regarding awareness of ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’.

Background: Anaemia and respiratory tract infections are common problems among infants and a complex relationship exists between iron status and infection. Studies on possible role of iron supplementation to prevent respiratory tract infection in healthy infants are needed so that strategies could be made at the community level to reduce its burden. Objectives: To study the effect of iron intake on the incidence of acute respiratory infection (ARI) in healthy infants. Method: A longitudinal study was done in 106 infants at the paediatric department of a teaching hospital, in which infants coming for routine vaccination with haemoglobin levels ≥10g/dl were divided into two groups after computer generated randomization. Group A received 2mg/kg/day of iron for 3 months and Group B received no supplementation. Episodes of respiratory tract infection were recorded. Follow up was done at 4, 8 and 12 weeks and at 6 months for new episodes of ARI. Growth was monitored. Data were analysed using Mann-Whitney U test, Chi square test and Student ‘t’ test via SPSS version 20.0. Results: After 6 months of follow up, mean haemoglobin in the iron supplemented group (12.76±0.63g/dl) was significantly higher than in the non-supplemental group (11.29±0.98g/dl) (p<0.001), when the baseline haemoglobin levels in both groups were comparable. The incidence of ARI was 66% lower in the iron supplemented group compared with the group with no supplementation (IRR=0.34, 95%CI=0.19-0.59, p=0.0001) Conclusions: Iron supplementation in infants improves their haemoglobin status and decreases episodes of ARI in them.

Background: Increased use of electronic media devices has become a significant health problem in the paediatric population worldwide. Excessive use of these devices in children is associated with several health-related hazards. Objectives: To describe the media device usage, screen time, and factors associated with their uses among children in a tertiary care hospital in Western Uttar Pradesh, India. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the department of Paediatrics of a tertiary care hospital, in Moradabad, Western Uttar Pradesh, India. All children aged 6 months to 8 years were recruited. A questionnaire in English that was converted into Hindi was used to collect data. Exposure to electronic device usage, average time spent on each device, and factors associated with device usage were analysed. Results: Exposure to audio-visual media devices among 6 months to 8-year-old children was 92.5%; 27 (7.5%) children had no screen exposure; 62.5% had a daily screen time more than two hours, whereas 57 (17.4%) had screen time less than 1 hour. Children from nuclear families (67.3%) and those born with first order of birth were found to be more media-indulgent. Most popular audio-visual media device was the smartphone, which was used by 162 (45.6%) children, followed by television (22.8%), laptop (19.7%), tablet (11.3%), and desktop (8.4%). There was a significant correlation (p<0.05) between screen time and different age groups, as well as between age group and types of shows watched. Screen time of more than one hour per day was independently associated with male gender and children living in urban areas. Conclusions: Majority of children were exposed to daily screen time that exceeds recommended limits as per AAP and Indian guidelines. Smartphones were the most commonly used audio-visual media devices. Screen time of more than one hour per day was independently associated with male gender and children living in urban areas
