“…In the US, Pennsylvanians have significant doubts about the credibility of scientists on this issue . Some residents believe that experts have intentionally avoided researching cases of cancer close to wells, fearing the implications of potential findings, and others raised concerns about possible bias in scientific studies funded by industry; a concern also voiced in the UK recently . ‘Trust’ in experts does not of course necessarily translate to attitude change, and whilst Lachapelle and Montpetit note that Quebecers adjust their perceptions of risk when provided with new scientific information, they found that even a strong signal from credible experts was unlikely to alter negative attitudes to such an extent as to produce overall support.…”

The United States and Canada have been at the forefront of shale oil and gas development via hydraulic fracturing. Understanding public perceptions is important given the role that they may play in future policy decisions in both North America and other parts of the world where shale development is at a much earlier stage. We review 58 articles pertaining to perceptions, published between 2009 and 2015. Studies report mixed levels of awareness of shale operations, tending toward higher awareness in areas with existing development. While individuals tend to have negative associations with the term ‘fracking,’ views on shale development are mixed as to whether benefits outweigh risks or vice versa: perceived benefits tend to be economic (e.g., job creation and boosts to local economies) and risks more commonly environmental and/or social (e.g., impacts on water and increased traffic). Some papers point to ethical issues (e.g., inequitable risk/benefit distribution and procedural justice) and widespread distrust of responsible parties, stemming from perceived unfairness, heavy‐handed corporate tactics, and lack of transparency. These findings point to the contested, political character of much of the debate about hydraulic fracturing, and raise questions of what constitutes ‘acceptable’ risk in this context. We compare these results with research emerging in the UK over the same period. Future research should focus on nuanced inquiry, a range of methodologies and explore perceptions in varied social and geographical contexts. Both this and future research hold the potential to enhance public debates and decisions about shale gas and oil development.

“…In low and middle income countries where supply of clean water is limited and hygiene of the mother and child is poor, substituting breastmilk with other fluids or food is likely to introduce pathogens resulting in infection-related infant mortality and morbidity [5]. Furthermore, the introduction of other fluids and foods reduces the frequency of breastfeeding and contributes to reduced milk production, ultimately affecting milk supply [6]. A recent systematic review showed that there were higher rates of infant deaths among 0-5 months infants who were not breastfed, partially breastfed or predominantly breastfed compared to those who were exclusively breastfed [7].…”

BackgroundCorrect measurement and continuous monitoring of exclusive breastfeeding are essential to promote exclusive breastfeeding. Measuring exclusive breastfeeding is a complex issue as rates can vary according to the definition, measurement period, questions asked, and infant’s age. This article reviewed the methodology of reporting exclusive breastfeeding in Nepal, and compared exclusive breastfeeding rates using data from a cohort study undertaken in western Nepal.MethodsA literature review was first conducted on studies published during 2000–2014. In our cohort study, 735 mother-infant pairs were recruited within the first month postpartum and followed up during the fourth and sixth months.ResultsThe majority of studies in Nepal, including national surveys, used the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended definition (only breastmilk with the exception of medicine and vitamin syrup), and the most common measurement period was a 24-h recall. Our data demonstrated that the exclusive breastfeeding rate during the sixth month was 8.9% using the recall-since-birth method but was 18.7% using the 24-h recall method. Substantial differences in rates were also found during the first (66.3% vs 83.9%) and fourth months (39.2% vs 61.1%).ConclusionWe found that recent studies reporting exclusive breastfeeding in Nepal varied considerably in methodology. The most commonly used measurement, the 24-h recall, leads to over-estimation of the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding when compared to the recall-since-birth method. A common standard of reporting exclusive breastfeeding is clearly needed for evidence-based decision making.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12884-016-1180-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…In a review published in this issue, Elsie Mobbs et al describe the need for immediate and sustained contact, including co-sleeping, to establish optimal breastfeeding, neonatal attachment and brain growth (6). To support this model and take it even further, James McKenna and Lee Gettler propose a new word and concept -breastsleeping -a combination of breastfeeding and bedsharing in the absence of all known hazardous factors (7).…”

This study examined parents' knowledge, attitudes and beliefs around fever in children under five years of age. Many parents were very concerned when their child was febrile and used a range of information sources to obtain knowledge. Due to issues of trust with these sources, reassurance was often sought from healthcare practitioners. Further initiatives are required to provide trustworthy, accessible information to parents on the management of fever, Laura J Sahm and her co-authors conclude. The study was conducted in Denmark (1). See also the editorial by Nathalie Bertille et al (2).
