Community-partnered study aims to reduce recurrence of child sexual abuse

Researchers in the College of Public Health have partnered with the Philadelphia Children’s Alliance (PCA) to fund and help lead a project aimed at reducing recurrence of child sexual abuse. PCA is Philadelphia’s only child advocacy center, providing forensic interviews, victim services, trauma-focused therapy and other services for thousands of children with suspected abuse or neglect that has been reported to the police or the Department of Human Services.  CPH faculty members Julia Kobulsky, Carolina Villamil Grest, and Bernie Newman will work with PCA to pull importan...

Study to examine how caregivers impact childhood language learning

Research calls for better understanding of father-perpetrated maltreatment

Historically it hasn't been done,” says Julia Kobulsky, assistant professor in the School of Social Work. Developing ef...

Phone calls, pediatric visits could lower secondhand smoke exposure, improve quit rates

Secondhand tobacco smoke is no longer an issue in most public places, but it remains a clear health threat for children whose parents smoke at home. Tobacco-smoke exposure (TSE) is a major cause of preventable disease in children, from sudden infant death syndrome and respiratory diseases to illnesses later in life. It’s more prevalent in low-income households. Across multiple studies, lower income and education have been observed as high barriers to maternal smoking cessation. Children in those homes are more vulnerable to the health effects of TSE. College of Public Health...
