Children in the U.S. are not faring well. Despite major advances in
public health, hygiene, and treatment for acute infections, child
health outcomes in the U.S. are among the bottom for developed
countries. As we enter the third decade of a child obesity
epidemic, children born in the last ten years are now likely to
have a shorter lifespan than their parents. Coupled with an
epidemic of childhood mental health issues - many of them
unaddressed due to stigma or lack of recognition - plus the impacts
of gun violence, poverty, and youth incarceration contribute to an
overall culture that fails to prioritize the health and welfare of
our youngest members of society. Child Health: A Population
Perspective examines both the history of child health and the three
dynamics that most define it: the principles and dynamics between
children, families, and communities; social determinants of health;
and life course health development. With both theoretical grounding
and illustrative case studies, this book provides a core framework
for students in maternal and child health to better understand the
issues facing children today - and how to serve them best.
