We were not familiar with a similar validated instrument on parental monitoring behaviour of the child's physical activities, therefore actual parental monitoring behaviours were not measured.
The outcome measures parental intention to monitor the outdoor play of the child and intention to monitor the snacking behaviour, were developed on the basis of the qualitative focus group interviews with groups of Dutch and Turkish parents prior to the survey.
Data on HIV clinical monitoring and drug-using behaviour were augmented with information on HIV care and treatment outcomes from the province-wide centralized ART dispensary and HIV clinical monitoring laboratory at the British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS (BC-CfE) [ 8, 9].
Locomotor activity, anxiety and exploratory behaviour were monitored automatically in the open field test [23] over a 1 hour period, as well as frequency and duration of very rapid exploratory behaviour (speed>90 mm/s) and immobility (speed<0.05 mm/s) at 8 months of age.
General health and motor behaviour were monitored for 6 months.
Body weight and general behaviour were monitored daily, and blood samples were taken at baseline, 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after LV dosing.
Clinical signs (body temperature, respiratory disorders, and general signs such as appetite and behaviour) were monitored daily in both groups starting from six days before inoculation until the day of death or euthanasia.
The HR and behaviour were monitored on 4 occasions altogether ca. 5 h including 1) a 20-min period after installation of the HR monitors, 2) a 30-min undisturbed period, 3) a 60-min period starting 15 min before feeding and 4) a 60-min period starting 15 min before a 15-min running period and continuing 30 min after.
Goal planning and self-monitoring of behaviour are crucial for behaviour change.
Mental inflexibility, slow reasoning and inability to self-monitor driving behaviour are hallmarks of executive functioning deficits (43, 44).
