Effect of breakfast timing on the cognitive functions of elementary school students

Article Abstract:

Eating breakfast 30 minutes before test-taking appears to improve scores in school children compared with eating 2 hours earlier or not eating breakfast. Researchers recorded whether 569 children aged 11 to 13 ate breakfast and administered tests of auditory learning, logical memory, and visual retention. They then randomly assigned children to have milk and sugared cornflakes at school for two weeks and readministered different versions of the tests 30 minutes after the school breakfast group ate. Children in the breakfast group scored higher than children eating breakfast two hours earlier or not at all.

Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate Use in Inner-city, Minority Adolescents: Continuation Rates and Characteristics of Long-term Users

Article Abstract:

Most teenage girls who use depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (Depo-Provera) may not continue the hormone longer than a year. Depo-Provera is a form of injectable birth control that must be given every 12 weeks. In a survey of 250 teenage girls who received their first injection of Depo-Provera, only 31% continued to use it for one year or more. About half of the girls who stopped using Depo-Provera became pregnant within two years. Most of the girls who discontinued the hormone said they did so because they missed an appointment to receive it.
