Costs of projects for orphans and other vulnerable children : case studies in Eritrea and Benin
Very little information is available on the ex-post cost of delivering services to orphans, and other vulnerable children (OVC). This hinders large scale planning of interventions for OVC. This study responds by estimating the costs of some recent projects for OVC in Benin, and in Eritrea. The study shows that the cost of institutional solutions is high relative to family-based solutions. The average annual economic cost per child, of a group home for orphans in Eritrea averaged about 1,300. The corresponding cost of orphans'integration into families in Eritrea was about 650, and, the cost of assisting children in abusive labor in Benin was almost $570.Economic Theory&Research,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Children and Youth,Street Children,Youth and Governance
LâenquĂȘte SET97 sur la santĂ©, lâĂ©ducation, et les transferts Ă Antananarivo.
L'enquĂȘte SET97, rĂ©alisĂ©e Ă Antananarivo en 1997, est, comme l'enquĂȘte 1-2-3 sur le secteur informel, une enquĂȘte en plusieurs phases associĂ©e Ă l'enquĂȘte sur l'emploi. Elle a Ă©tĂ© Ă©laborĂ©e dans le but d'analyser la santĂ© et l'Ă©ducation, et d'Ă©tudier les transferts, monĂ©taires et non monĂ©taires, entre les mĂ©nages. Cet article prĂ©sente les principes de l'articulation entre les diffĂ©rentes phases d'enquĂȘte et le tirage de l'Ă©chantillon. Il analyse le questionnaire utilisĂ© en rĂ©fĂ©rence aux objectifs de l'enquĂȘte et Ă la mĂ©thodologie retenue.

The Effects of Family Size
on Children's Educational Attainment in Antananarivo
This paper focuses on the relationship between family size and children's education in Antananarivo (Madagascar). Previous studies done on this issue pointed that a trade-off between the number of children and children schooling was occurring, concluding to the existence of a «family size cost». This effect occurs because of a dilution of familial resources available per child with larger number of children.
Our results stressed the existence of an inverse link between those two variables, according to children school's performances (diplomas obtained, level achieved), as well as efforts provided by the parents to the education of their children. However, this relationship is relevant only from a given size threshold. As a matter of fact, beyond four children, the degradation of the quality variables is quite strong.Cet article explore la relation entre l'éducation des enfants d'un ménage et la taille de la famille à Antananarivo (Madagascar). Les études, relativement nombreuses, faites sur le lien entre l'éducation des enfants et la taille de la fratrie, ont montré qu'il existait un arbitrage entre ces deux variables, concluant souvent à l'existence d'un «coût de la fratrie». Ce «coût de la fratrie» se traduit par le fait que les enfants issus d'une famille nombreuse, en raison d'une dilution des ressources (monétaires, temporelles et matérielles) du ménage, réussissent moins bien dans leurs études.
Nos résultats ont montré l'existence d'un effet inverse entre les deux variables, que ce soit en termes de performances scolaires (obtention des diplÎmes, niveau atteint) qu'en termes d'efforts éducatifs des parents. Il apparaßt cependant que cette relation n'est vraiment marquée qu'à partir d'une certaine taille seuil. En effet, c'est surtout au-delà de quatre enfants que la dégradation des indicateurs de qualité est réellement visible.Coury Diane, Razafindratsima Nicolas.

Practice guideline: Treatment for insomnia and disrupted sleep behavior in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder: Report of the Guideline Development, Dissemination, and Implementation Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology.
ObjectiveTo review pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic strategies for treating sleep disturbances in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and to develop recommendations for addressing sleep disturbance in this population.MethodsThe guideline panel followed the American Academy of Neurology 2011 guideline development process, as amended. The systematic review included studies through December 2017. Recommendations were based on evidence, related evidence, principles of care, and inferences.Major recommendations level bFor children and adolescents with ASD and sleep disturbance, clinicians should assess for medications and coexisting conditions that could contribute to the sleep disturbance and should address identified issues. Clinicians should counsel parents regarding strategies for improved sleep habits with behavioral strategies as a first-line treatment approach for sleep disturbance either alone or in combination with pharmacologic or nutraceutical approaches. Clinicians should offer melatonin if behavioral strategies have not been helpful and contributing coexisting conditions and use of concomitant medications have been addressed, starting with a low dose. Clinicians should recommend using pharmaceutical-grade melatonin if available. Clinicians should counsel children, adolescents, and parents regarding potential adverse effects of melatonin use and the lack of long-term safety data. Clinicians should counsel that there is currently no evidence to support the routine use of weighted blankets or specialized mattress technology for improving disrupted sleep. If asked about weighted blankets, clinicians should counsel that the trial reported no serious adverse events with blanket use and that blankets could be a reasonable nonpharmacologic approach for some individuals
