Health care policy and proposals for national health care reform
have become some of the most contentious political issues of the
decade. Garland Publishing announces a new series addressing the
most significant issues in the area of health care policy and the
business of health care in the United States. books in this
multidisciplinary series will include studies of health care
practice, the health care business, the implications of
multicultural perspectives on health care for public policy, the
impact of insurance on health care, and debates over national
health care policy, including health care reform. This collection
of timely works will offer significant scholarly perspectives on
one of the most important issues in public policy.
Many variables impact the perception of children ages six to
eleven. In this study, a model comprised of selected critical
developmental and social characteristics was created to identify,
examine, and measure factors that influence the view of home for a
sample of children sheltered with homeless single-parent families,
for anywhere from one to 36 months.
Analyses of the respondents' scale score, which represent
different intensities of the childrens' impression of home, reveals
the absence of consistent health care and deficient positive peer
interaction in the shelter and school environment as factors that
influence the childrens' view of home. The findings support
developmental theories and research that identify conditions
critical for the positive growth of children during this age
period: good health and positive peer relations. For the children
in this study, the instability of shelter living impedes the
maintenance of health care, and ashortage of peer interaction
influences the childrens' ideal image of home.
The book also presents an effective way to investigate and
measure a view of homelessness through self-report of children who
are members of the homeless single-parent family population.
