A special football program launched today at Rice University, one that hopes to motivate at-risk, inner city boys to stay in school and set their life goals high.
About 85 boys, ages 9 to 12, began the three-week Youth Impact Program today. In addition to football skills, the students learn math, language, anger management, conflict resolution and drug education. Meals, clothing and transportation are included.
The program hopes to establish permanent mentoring relationships between the boys and local teachers, staff and student athletes of Rice.
Participating athletes from Rice University include Jake Hicks, Chris Jones, Taylor Dupree, Chance Talbert, Brian Raines, Chris Ptaszek, Ja' Corey Shepherd, Vernon James, Maya Kirk, Kiri Kendall, Tyler Parish, Denzel Wells and Kara Lawrence.
Sponsors include Rice University, the Houston Texans and the NFL Youth Football Fund. Similar programs take place at University of Southern California and Tulane University.

Event: Free HIV tests target Hispanic community
The Latino HIV Task Force, a group of health agencies and community organizations, will offer free HIV tests on Saturday, June 27 as part of the annual National HIV Testing Day.
The task force will provide the tests from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Spring Branch Community Health Center, 1615 Hillendahl.
Hispanics in Houston and Harris County represent 21 percent of the 16,393 HIV infections and 17 percent of the 25,644 AIDS cases reported since the start of the epidemic in 1981.
Event: Free hip hop concert tickets with HIV test
For National HIV Testing Day on Saturday, June 27, the Houston health department, and several local health agencies, hopes to screen a record 15,000 people for HIV and syphilis over the next two weeks.
Anyone who is 15 to 40 with a picture I.D. may get tested.
Everyone who receives a rapid test, one hour of education and get their results will receive tickets from KBXX-FM (97.9, The Box) to a July 11 concert at the George R. Brown Convention Center. Featured artists include former Destiny’s Child member LeToya Luckett, Port Arthur’s Bun B, Plies, Day 26, Bobby Valentino and more.
According to the CDC, African-Americans have an increased risk for acquiring HIV because the virus is more prevalent in black communities and African-Americans are more likely to have sex with other people of African descent, causing a higher risk of exposure.
Sponsors include Houston’s Health and Human Services department, KBXX-FM, AIDS Foundation Houston, NAACP-Houston Branch, Amerigroup Community Care, Planned Parenthood, St. Hope Foundation, Cricket Wireless and Strapped Condoms.
For more information, call the NAACP Family Technology Center at 713-794-9020 for test locations.

Why parents should resign as boredom busters
An unintended result of the changes in family life and parenting style is kid dependence on adult involvement and outside structure and stimulation. Learn how to break the cycle and teach your kids to amuse themselves.
Close bonds of fatherhood start in infancy
Need another reason to encourage a new dad to help with the baby? A University of Illinois study found that when a dad changes diapers and makes pediatrician’s appointments, he’s more likely to stay interested and involved when his child makes the transition to school. Read more about the study.
Dangerous teen sex on the rise again
Progress made in the 1990s and early 2000s in improving teen contraceptive use reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These researchers look at what works to promote contraceptive use and to reduce pregnancy among teens.

Still need another summer activity for your older kids? Why not let them learn CPR? It's a skill that may help save someone’s life and classes are offered by many Houston-area organizations.
According to the American Heart Association, almost 80 percent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur at home and are witnessed by a family member. Only 6 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims survive because the vast majority of people do not know how to perform CPR.
Here are just a few places in Houston we found that offer CPR training:
Save A Life: Community Heart Training Day
Four-hour training on June 27, 2009 will cover CPR and defibrillator use. Two sessions are available. Cost $10.
Junior League of Houston
The only free CPR classes in Houston (that we know of), these sessions are scheduled throughout the year in several locations.
Girl Scouts - San Jacinto
As part of the annual Aquatics, Health and Safety Weekend, Aug. 7 through 9, scouts can learn CPR and other safety skills.
Red Cross of Greater Houston
Online and in-person sessions are offered throughout the year. For in-class training, you must be at least 16 years old. Cost is $98 for classroom training. Online courses are free.
Cypress Creek EMS
Offers a variety of safety classes in the FM 1960 area.
CPR-to-YOU
This group offers several CPR classes, including online certification. Cost begins at $35 per session.
CPRanytime.org
Learn CPR without leaving the house. The American Heart Association offers video kits that promise to teach the process in 22 minutes.
Don’t be a statistic. It’s too easy and too convenient to learn how to save a life with CPR.
You can also contact your local hospital or fire department for additional resources.

Extending health insurance to all U.S. children would be relatively inexpensive and the long-term economic benefits would outweigh the costs, says new research from the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy.
The report found that uninsured children:
- Are more likely to go without needed medical or dental care and to use the emergency room as a primary source of health care.
- Often have poor overall health and higher rates of death.
- Poor childhood health leads to poor adult health.
Basically, the economics work like this: Uninsured children grow up to be adults who work fewer weeks and earn less than their healthy counterparts. Example: Healthy siblings earn nearly 25 percent more than unhealthy siblings.
This lost productivity and lost earnings has a lifetime value of $15,572 for each male and $11, 646 for each female. The researchers estimate that insurance from birth to age 18 would cost $7,451 per child. That means we’d save about $8,000 for each boy and $5,000 for each girl.
Vivian Ho, report co-author and an economist for the Baker Institute, estimates Harris County has more than 330,000 uninsured children and Texas 1.6 million uninsured children. Since the total number of uninsured children in the U.S. is about 8 million, the Lone Star state could potentially benefit greatly from addressing this issue sooner rather than later.

Once again Texas Children’s Hospital has ranked among the nation’s best children’s hospitals, according to an annual survey from U.S. News & World Report. Even better for Houston families, Texas Children’s was named one of the 10 best pediatric hospitals in the country.
The hospitals were judged based on opinions from pediatricians about the hospitals they would recommend for the sickest children, plus data gathered in a 65-page survey filled out by the hospitals themselves. Those surveys measured outcomes and things that affect patient care such as nursing care, advanced technology and credentialing.
Several specialty departments within Texas Children’s, called subspecialties, ranked as follows compared to other pediatric hospital across the U.S.:
#1 Kidney Disorders
#2 Respiratory Disorders
#3 Heart and Heart Surgery
#4 Cancer
#4 Digestive Disorders
#5 Neurology and Neurosurgery (brain injury, autism, learning difficulties)
#7 Neonatal Care (newborns)
#9 Diabetes and Endocrine Disorders
#9 Urology
#14 Orthopedics
The 2009 edition of America’s Best Children’s Hospitals is available online and will be featured in the August issue of US. News & World Report, available on newsstands beginning July 21.

Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital recently added two ambulances to its fleet that are specially equipped for pediatric trauma care.
Children’s Memorial location in the
ICU on wheels
Trauma is a wound or shock caused by sudden physical injury, as from an accident, injury or impact. According to the ACS, the main causes of trauma to children are:
- Vehicle accidents
- Falls
The new ambulances are mobile pediatric ICU rooms, said Dr. Charles Cox, director of the pediatric trauma program at Children’s Memorial Hermann.
Just for kids
Hopefully, the ambulances will help save lives of children who are transported to the hospital after an accident.
“Studies show that seriously ill children who are transported for higher-level care by a neonatal/specialty care team have better outcomes,” said Jeff Mills, R.N. and clinical manager of the Children’s Transport Team.
The new ambulances are equipped with:
- IV pumps
- continuous cardiac and respiratory monitoring
- CO2 monitoring
- invasive line monitoring
They are roomier than standard ambulances and have extra seating for a family member or additional medical team member.
Has your child ever been taken by ambulance to the emergency room? What was your experience?
After Hurricane Ike last year, 20 Houston-area kids were hospitalized for carbon monoxide poisoning.
A new study from University of Texas Health Science Center at
“This was a new experience for us,” said Dr. Caroline Fife, associate professor of medicine at the UT Health Science Center at

During Ike,
Carbon monoxide can kill
Carbon monoxide poisoning interferes with oxygen delivery in the blood. The most common symptoms include headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness and dizziness. More severe symptoms are difficulty thinking and confusion, slurred speech, fainting, seizures, trouble breathing, low blood pressure, coma and even death.
Children can have more severe symptoms at lower levels of carbon monoxide poisoning than adults. Infants may appear to be more irritable or lethargic.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is the most common cause of poisoning death in the

Most people now look to the Internet to learn more about a health condition. It’s great to have all that information at the end of your fingertips, but how can you judge whether the information is trustworthy?
Here are 10 common sense tips for judging the health information you find online:
1. Is the writer or producer of the information clearly identified?
2. Is the writer qualified to write on this topic? Is he or she a doctor, a salesperson or an experienced parent?
3. Does the author state documented facts, scientific findings or opinion? Does the writer seem biased? Do they present information in a calm, objective way or is it emotional, sensational?
4. Is the content reviewed by experts for accuracy; or is it the opinion of one person?
5. If a study is mentioned, does the article mention how many people participated and who sponsored the study? Some studies are sponsored by government bodies like the National Institutes of Health. Some are sponsored by companies.
6. Does the author use footnotes or references that you can check? Does the article link to those other sources? It’s a good idea to read the references yourself to make sure the original information was quoted accurately.
7. Was the information developed by a company that refers to or recommends use of its product? Remember that companies frequently write helpful online content to boost sales.
8. Is the site supported by advertising? If so, do advertisers get mentioned in the articles?
9. Does the page link to a home page? Is it a home page for an individual or an organization? Is it an organization you’ve heard of? What is that organization’s reputation?
10. Does the Web site provide contact information? Reputable organizations don’t mind telling you where they are located, and provide some way for readers to get in touch.
It’s important to remember you can’t believe everything you read online, particularly if you’re looking for information about your child’s health. And, if you have a teenager, use these tips as a guideline to teach them how to analyze for themselves what they read online.
Finally, if in doubt, ask your doctor for their opinion!

A nasty intestinal parasite could be lurking in your neighborhood pool.
Called cryptosporidium, it is a parasite found in human feces that is transmitted in an egglike shell that can survive as long as 10 days even in chlorinated water. Reports of infection after swimming in pools and water parks has risen sharply recently, says the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Symptoms of infection mimic that of food poisoning. Children, pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems are most likely to develop severe symptoms from infection.
Officials give these tips to avoid infection:
- Don't swim or let your children swim when they have diarrhea.
- Shower before swimming.
- Don't pee in the pool.
- Take young children on frequent bathroom breaks.
- If your child is wearing a swim diaper, check it often and only let them swim in a clean one.
- Remind your children to avoid swallowing pool water.
- Don't swim in a pool with cloudy water or slick tiles.

Since this survey was funded by a company that sells fans, HealthyHoustonKids thought it was a good idea to ask a doctor: Does this mean you should install a ceiling fan in your baby’s room?
Not necessarily, says Dr. Tanya Remer Altmann, a board-certified pediatrician and author of the book Mommy Calls!
“This study did show that fan use during sleep was associated with a reduced rate of SIDS,” said Dr. Altmann. “However, the reduction in SIDS seemed greater in babies who were sleeping in unsafe sleep environments, such as on their stomach or side or in bed with a parent--known risk factors for SIDS and suffocation.”
Dr. Altmann goes on to recommends that parents use several other known interventions that dramatically decrease an baby’s risk of SIDS. These are:
- Breastfeeding,
- Putting the baby to sleep on their back in their own sleep space
- Removing any bumpers, stuffed toys or loose blankets in the crib
- Using a sleep sack or wearable blanket instead of a loose blanket
- Letting a baby suck on a pacifier.
“I don’t think there is enough evidence to recommend that all new parents install a ceiling fan, but if you already have one, you may want to consider using it,” adds Altmann. “Having a ceiling fan is also a great way to air out any smell from dirty diapers in the room.”
SIDS deaths have dropped by more than half in the
The original study on fan use was funded by the National Institutes of Health and appeared in the October 2008 issue of Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine.

Risk of Schizophrenia Linked to Prenatal Health
A new study in the June 15th issue of Biological Psychiatry suggests that when mothers become infected with influenza B during their pregnancy, it may increase the risk of their child developing schizophrenia later in life.
Specifically, the researchers found that fetal exposure to influenza B leads to cognitive problems at age 7 among children who later develop a psychotic disorder in adulthood, but fetal exposure to influenza B does not lead to cognitive problems in children who do not later develop a psychotic disorder.
This study suggests that genetics and the environmental both play a role in whether the fetal brain is vulnerable to the effects of influenza.

Many parents today are buying toys in thrift stores, second-hand stores and yard sales to stretch their dollars or to reduce waste by buying perfectly reusable toys. The only trouble is, most of these toys won’t come with their original packaging or tags to explain recommended age and other safety issues.
So, how can you judge whether a second-hand toy is safe for your child?
Check for general sturdiness
First, look for toys that are sturdy enough to withstand pulling, twisting and dragging. Make sure that eyes, noses, buttons and other parts that could break off are securely attached. All seams on stuffed toys should be unbroken. Wooden toys should be free of splinters and metal toys rust-free.
Now it’s time to check some toy safety specifics:
Age of toy: While you may be attracted to that toy from your childhood, avoid any toys made before 1995. Toys made in — or imported into — the United States prior to 1995 did not have to meet regulations set by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Age label: If you’re lucky enough to find a toy or game still in its box, check for its age rating. This label comes from the CPSC and rates safety for each particular age. It’s not a label meant to judge whether your child is smart or mature enough for the toy or game.
Allergens and cleanliness: Stuffed or fabric toys should be washable. After all, you don't know where it's been.
Choking: Children tend to put toys in their mouth until age 3. So, if you have toddlers and infants in the house, look for loose pieces and parts. Any toy part that’s approximately the size of a quarter or smaller could lodge in a small child’s windpipe. If a toy is squeezable, make sure when squeezed it doesn’t become a choking hazard.
Electric: Electric toys should be labeled UL, which means it meets safety standards set by Underwriters Laboratories.
Fire: Check stuffed or cloth toys to see if the fabric is flame-resistant or flame-retardant.
Lead: Painted toys should be marked ‘lead free.’ Consider passing on any painted toy that isn’t marked.
Non-toxic: Art materials should be labeled ‘nontoxic.’ Crayons and paints should list ASTM D-4236 on the package, which means that they've been evaluated by the American Society for Testing and Materials.
Sharps: Toys for older children, such as arrows and darts, should have soft tips or suction cups at the end, not hard points.
Sound: If a toy squeaks, rattles, honks or blares, make sure it isn’t too loud. Loud toys, particularly ones a child might hold close to their ears, could damage hearing.
Strings: Avoid toys with strings or cords. These can be a strangling hazard for infants and toddlers.
When in doubt, try checking the CPSC’s web site for toy recalls at http://www.recalls.gov.
Tell us: Do you have any other tips on finding safe toys for children?

Group therapy helps depressed teens
As many as 20 percent of teenagers may experience an episode of clinical depression by age 18. If you think your teen could be clinically depressed, consider group therapy. Recent research shows that group cognitive-behavioral therapy helps teach teenagers how to change their thoughts and behavior.The findings appear in the June 3 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

Antidepressants don’t work for autism symptoms
The use of antidepressants in children with autism spectrum disorder took off before there was strong scientific proof about its effectiveness. In fact, more than 40 percent of autistic children now take a daily dose of an antidepressant in an attempt to control spinning, rocking and repetitive behavior.However, a new multi-center study suggests the antidepressant citalopram is no more effective than placebo in altering obsessive features of autism. The study was funded by the NIMH and other NIH institutes.

Worried about your teen’s texting habits?
Join the club. The New York Times reports that “Spurred by the unlimited texting plans offered by carriers like AT&T Mobility and Verizon Wireless, American teenagers sent and received an average of 2,272 text messages per month in the fourth quarter of 2008, according to the Nielsen Company — almost 80 messages a day, more than double the average of a year earlier.”Ready to panic? Not so fast, says Dr. John Grohol, CEO and founder of Psych Central, who has been writing about mental health and psychology issues online since 1992. For a common-sense take on texting and today’s teenagers, read his column on Psych Central.

Despite widespread support from children's advocates, health care institutions, and Houston's business community, the Texas legislature let a bill die that would have expanded CHIP, or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
Update from Off the Kuff, including a statement from State Rep. Garnet Coleman.
The bill would have covered an additional 80,000 Texas children who are uninsured or underinsured. This is a tiny portion of Texas' uninsured kids, but getting those 80,000 would still be a significant step in the right direction.
According to the Greater Houston Partnership (Houston's chamber of commerce) Texas leads the nation in the percentage of uninsured children.
They also said in March: "Such a staggering fact has a negative effect on Texas businesses and the Texas economy by impacting our taxes, current and future work force and competitiveness ... In 2008, 1.5 million children in Texas were uninsured. Although more than half of these uninsured children are currently eligible for Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), they are not enrolled. The 80th Legislature’s elimination of twice-yearly CHIP enrollment has improved the number of enrolled children, but children’s Medicaid continues to require twice-yearly enrollment."
The Partnership added: "It is the Partnership’s recommendation that legislators make sure Texas maximizes federal funding available to support its Medicaid and CHIP programs; expands children’s Medicaid eligibility to 12 months; funds adequate community-based outreach to eligible but not enrolled children; budgets realistically for state-funded health care program enrollment and provider payment; and encourages the development of an efficient and equitable system for funding uncompensated care."
It's hard to add anything to such reasonable recommendations, so I'll simply provide you with a few links for additional reading.

Beginning today, children ages 1 to 18 can get free breakfast and free lunch at more than 200 schools in the Houston Independent School District (HISD).
Breakfast is served between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. Lunch is served from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
No registration is necessary and the child does not need to be enrolled in summer school to get the meal.The only requirement is that the child be between the ages of 1 and 18. Adults may join their children by buying breakfast for $1.75 and lunch for $3.25.
Promoting healthy eating habits in children provides them with life-long health benefits. Well-nourished children are better prepared to learn and perform better in both the classroom and on the playing fields.
Questions? Call HISD/ARAMARK Food Services at 713-491-5944.

School’s out, summer’s here and your children are out and about playing. While it’s a good thing to encourage your children to be active, it is also important to remind them of a few summer safety rules.
- Always wear a helmet when bike riding or skateboarding and be alert to any cars around you.
- Always look both ways before crossing a street. A small person is harder for a driver to see.
- Apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going outside (it takes a few minutes to begin working). The SPF should be at least 15 and protect against UVA and UVB rays. Use sunscreen even on cloudy days.
- Drink plenty of water before, during and after outside play. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends 5 ounces of cold tap water or a flavored sports drink for a child weighing 90 pounds, and 9 ounces for an adolescent weighing 130 pounds during activity.
- Never play in or around a swimming pool if an adult isn’t there to supervise.
- Remember to use bug repellent. It can make outside play more pleasant, especially at night.
Update: Check out this excellent list for swimming safety from MomHouston.
