  • S2 E4 Solidarity.docx  (43.7 KB, DOCX)
    … S2 E4 Solidarity [00:00:00] Constance: Good morning, Darian. Darian: Good morning, Constance. Constance: Welcome to our podcast Woke as Science. Darian: Thanks. Constance: And today we're going to talk about something - lately – or ever since I took this job like six years ago, but I quite often receive emails of staff or students ending in, in solidarity … for my solidarity with a particular group or for the university solidarity with a particular group. Constance: I also see in social media people change their profile pictures in solidarity with certain groups or movements. So solidarity is everywhere. And I think it is time for us to talk about that term a bit more and find out what it actually entails, what it means, what kind of action it requires. And that is why we invited a wonderful Guest Francesco. Darian: It's great to have you here, … [00:15:00] else. And I think, yeah, that might be different from situations where an expression of solidarity really has an effect, as you said, in a way that might even be measurable, and also brings some risk. Darian: And also brings me into contact with other people, right? So me expressing, solidarity with a group, somewhere far away that who are never gonna hear or see or read that I'm expressing solidarity with them, that my expression, that's the extent of it. We might say, okay, …

The order in which the eligible patients appeared on the list was randomised.

    … cohort study, embedded in the Child and Youth Health Care (CYHC) practice of the ‘Westelijke Mijnstreek’ (a region in the southeast of the Netherlands). Recruitment (1–2 weeks after birth) and follow-up (until 19 years) coincide with routine CYHC contact moments, during which the child’s physical and psychosocial development is closely monitored, and anthropometrics are measured repeatedly in a standardised way. Information gathered through CYHC is complemented with repeated parental questionnaires, and information from existing registries of pharmacy, hospital and/or general practice. Since the start already more than 5,000 children were included in LucKi shortly after birth, reaching an average … questionnaire. Application of study results The information gathered by the LucKi Birth Cohort Study is valuable for (youth) health care and public health policy. Because children are studied at specific ages that coincide with CYHC contact moments, findings from LucKi that can be translated into parental advice or other preventive measures may directly be incorporated in CYHC protocols and reach a large group of children and their parents at once. Further, study results on (modifi- able) risk …
