Machine generated contents note: -- Introduction - Why child public health? 1. Child Health in the UK and Europe 2. Child Health in developing countries/the majority world 3. Determinants of Child Health 4. Child public health: lessons from the past 5. Key concepts and definitions 6. Child health and adult health 7. Techniques and resources for child public health practice 8. Child Public Health in practice: case scenarios.
"Despite children making up around a quarter of the population, the first edition of this book was the first to focus on a public health approach to the health and sickness of children and young people. It combined clinical and academic perspectives to explore the current state of health of our children, the historical roots of the speciality and the relationship between early infant and child health on later adult health. Child public health is a rapidly developing field, and is increasingly recognised throughout the world as a major area of focus for population health. Targeting the health of children now is essential if we are to achieve a healthy population as adults. For the second edition the text has been revised and updated with new material on health for all children, global warming, child participation, systems theory, refugees, commissioning, and sustainable development. Child Public Health 2e will be of interest to public health practitioners, paediatricians, general practitioners with a child health and commissioning interest and GP trainees. Whilst pediatricians are given a unique population perspective on their clinical specialty, public health professionals will gain a specialist insight into a specific population group and primary care doctors, nurses and managers will find support for their commissioning and clinical governance agendas"--Provided by publisher.
