Unraveling the Missing Piece in Children's Health Equity
Health inequality among children is a pressing issue that demands immediate attention and action. Every child deserves the opportunity to lead a healthy life, regardless of their socioeconomic background, race, or geographical location. Childhood health inequalities manifest in various forms as; access to quality health care, nutritious food, safe environments, and educational resources which significantly impact children's physical and mental well-being (McCartney et al., 2021). In addition, these disparities disproportionately affect marginalized communities, perpetuating a cycle of disadvantage and hindering their poten...

Effect of a Nutritional Education Program on Children's Undernutrition in Indonesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Children's undernutrition is a severe public health issue (Ssentongo et al., 2021). The World Health Organization (WHO, 2021a) defines children's undernutrition as a deficiency or imbalance in the intake of energy and nutrients, and includes wasting (i.e., low weight-for-height), stunting (i.e., low height-for-age), and being underweight (i.e., low weight-for-age). Globally, around 462 million children under 5 years were assessed as being underweight, a million children were stunted, and 45 million exhibited wasting (WHO, 2021b).

Optimizing Sexual and Gender Minority Adolescent Health: Putting Evidence into Practice
Adolescents who identify as sexual and gender minorities (SGM) are at higher risk for adverse health outcomes compared to their cisgender and heterosexual counterparts (Cafferty et al., 2020; Stern, 2021). SGM adolescents are faced with stigma, homophobia, and heterosexism daily (Cafferty et al., 2020; Dowshen& Ford, 2019; Hagan et al., 2017; Shattuck et al., 2020). They are also more likely to: (1) engage in high-risk sexual activities, (2) self-medicate with illegal drugs, (3) attempt suicide, and defer healthcare (Boswell et al., 2019; Cafferty et al., 2020; Stern, 2021).

Utilization of Mobile Reminders in Improving the Completeness and Timeliness of Routine Childhood Immunization in Kano Metropolis, Nigeria: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Globally, routine immunization uptake has been improving after the COVID-19 pandemic. This is evident by the reduced number of children missing out on any vaccination from 18.1 to 14.3 million between 2019 and 2022 (World Health Organization [WHO], 2023a). However, it is estimated that 6.2 million children in Nigeria did not receive any vaccines within the same period, thereby contributing more than one-quarter (30%) of the number of unimmunized children across the world (Save the Children, 2022; WHO, 2023b).

Infant and Maternal Morbidity Symptoms as Predictors for the Interruption of Exclusive Breastfeeding in Lima, Peru: A Prospective Study
The beneficial effects of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) during the first 6 months of life have been widely studied (Black et al., 2008; Kim et al., 2021; Lin et al., 2023; Victora et al., 2016; Vieira et al., 2014). Globally, between 2015 and 2021, 48% of infants 0 –5 months of age were exclusively breastfed (UNICEF, 2022). The World Health Assembly in 2012 set the goal to increase EBF rates to 50% by 2025 (WHO, 2015). This global nutrition target was recently increased to at least 70% by 2030 (WHO& UNICEF, 2019).

Healthcare Interventions for Children Using Nonimmersive Virtual Reality: A Mixed Methods Systematic Review
Children require self-management and social skills to grow into healthy adults (Lozano& Houtrow, 2018). Self-management involves acquiring knowledge and skills to set health goals and plan accordingly (Bravo et al., 2020; Lozano& Houtrow, 2018). Social skills enable effective communication, relationship building, and cooperation with others (Masten et al., 1995). Pediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs) play a crucial role in fostering these skills, vital for child development, to support children's growth (Seeley& Lindeke, 2017; Small et al., 2009).

The Influences of Adverse Childhood Experiences and Social Support on Male Teenagers ’ Gaming Motivation: A Moderated Network Analysis
Online gaming is presently a popular activity among individuals of all age groups. A survey showed that about 3 billion people played online games in 2022 (Statista, 2022). Male teenagers play online games for extensive periods of time, making them more vulnerable to gaming-related health problems (GRHPs) than female teenagers (Jia Yuin, 2018; Stevens et al., 2020). GRHPs and internet gaming disorder are identified in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), which include new criteria for the diagnosis of gaming disorde...
