And the authors' long-term perspective emphasizes screening, wellness care, early intervention, and prevention strategies to support young patients in the transitions between childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. Included in this compact idea book: Disparities in child health: a review Quality of care in pediatrics and health disparities: the increasing role of quality improvement science Community health worker interventions Technology-based interventions to address pediatric health disparities Place-based strategies in promoting health equity Future directions for a solutions-based approach With its clear delineation of issues and priorities, and its workable recommendations for addressing them, Disparities in Child Health is a ready source of ideas and advocacy for practitioners and researchers in pediatrics, maternal and child health, and general practice/family medicine.
