This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This handbook
synthesizes and analyzes the growing knowledge base on life course
health development (LCHD) from the prenatal period through emerging
adulthood, with implications for clinical practice and public
health. It presents LCHD as an innovative field with a sound
theoretical framework for understanding wellness and disease from a
lifespan perspective, replacing previous medical, biopsychosocial,
and early genomic models of health. Interdisciplinary chapters
discuss major health concerns (diabetes, obesity), important
less-studied conditions (hearing, kidney health), and large-scale
issues (nutrition, adversity) from a lifespan viewpoint. In
addition, chapters address methodological approaches and challenges
by analyzing existing measures, studies, and surveys. The book
concludes with the editors' research agenda that proposes
priorities for future LCHD research and its application to health
care practice and health policy. Topics featured in the Handbook
include: The prenatal period and its effect on child obesity and
metabolic outcomes. Pregnancy complications and their effect on
women's cardiovascular health. A multi-level approach for obesity
prevention in children. Application of the LCHD framework to autism
spectrum disorder. Socioeconomic disadvantage and its influence on
health development across the lifespan. The importance of nutrition
to optimal health development across the lifespan. The Handbook of
Life Course Health Development is a must-have resource for
researchers, clinicians/professionals, and graduate students in
developmental psychology/science; maternal and child health; social
work; health economics; educational policy and politics; and
medical law as well as many interrelated subdisciplines in
psychology, medicine, public health, mental health, education,
social welfare, economics, sociology, and law.
This timely volume presents a rich picture of the lives of parents with young children in the U.S. Using the first national survey on parents with young children, a diverse group of scholars present new information about what parents do, the economic and social challenges they face, and the resources they use to improve their children's health and development. The analyses and insights provided by this book will be invaluable for policy makers as well as others involved in public health, social work, law, medicine, psychology, sociology, and child development.
