Who will speak for the children? is the question posed by Judith S.
Palfrey, a pediatrician and child advocate who confronts
unconscionable disparities in U.S. health care -- a system that
persistently fails sick and disabled children despite annual
expenditures of $1.8 trillion.
In Child Health in America, Palfrey explores the meaning of
advocacy to children's health and describes how health providers,
community agencies, teachers, parents, and others can work together
to bring about needed change. Palfrey presents a conceptual
framework for child health advocacy consisting of four
interconnected components: clinical, group, professional, and
legislative. Describing each of these concepts in useful and
compelling detail, she is also careful to provide examples of best
practices.
This original and progressive work affirms the urgent need for
child advocacy and provides valuable guidance to those seeking to
participate in efforts to help all children live healthier, happier
lives.
