Product Description

BACCH News

"This is an excellent book and I think it will be very useful."


Review

Paranoia can blight attempts at improving public health. The authors are to be congratulated in the nearly always taking a sensible and pragmatic line which depends much more on the positive aspects of public health policy and practice than protecting children from what may be small or hypothetical risks. (Journal of Public Health, Vol. 27, No. 2 )

This book gives an overview of child health in the United Kingdom and internationally, the founding fathers (those listed are all men), the epidemiology, the data sources, the policies and politics, and the interventions. (British Medical Journal )

It was a pleasure to review this excellent introductory textbook on child public health written jointly by respected paediatricians and public health professionals. The presentation is clear and authoritative, with key points helpfully placed in text boxes for emphasis . . . The coverage of the book is impressive, ranging from family and community perspectives and approaches through to advocacy and national policy. It thus presents an excellent overview for those coming from medical, nursing or social science backgrounds but who are training in child public health . . . The book deserves to be read widely and may well have an important impact in training a new generation of health professionals involved in child public health. (Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 82 (2) )

This is an excellent book and I think it will be very useful. (BACCH News )

Children's public health is not an easy subject to study. While some of the underpinning sciences, such as epidemiology and statistics, are well described in many texts, an overview of the political and cultural context in which public health is practised is more difficult to find. The authors of this book have set out to give us just such an overview and they have succeeded admirably. (From the foreword by David Hall )

This book emphasizes the importance of child public health as a rapidly emerging field and puts the health of children centre stage as society's greatest asset. It maps out what needs to be done to promote and protect the health of children not only in the UK, but internationally. (From the foreword by Sian Griffiths, Oxford University )
