Many children in Jamaica suffer from poor development, inadequate dental care and low immunization status. There is a need for low-cost innovative programmes to reach these children. We piloted an approach to teaching primary-school children basic child health and development concepts with the aim of improving their knowledge and practices and those of their guardians. The programme was conducted with 89 children from three grade levels in a remote rural school. The topic was taught throughout the school year with an action-oriented curriculum. Evaluation showed improvement in school children's knowledge and practices and guardians' knowledge. This approach is seen to be a feasible, low cost way of improving the quality of future child care.
牙买加的许多儿童发育不良、缺乏足够的牙齿护理且免疫接种率低。需要有低成本的创新项目来惠及这些儿童。我们试点了一种向小学生传授基本儿童健康与发育概念的方法，旨在提高他们及其监护人的知识水平和实践能力。该项目在一所偏远农村学校针对三个年级的89名儿童开展。通过以行动为导向的课程在一整个学年里教授该主题。评估显示学童的知识和实践以及监护人的知识都有所改善。这种方法被视为提高未来儿童护理质量的一种可行且低成本的方式。
