What Are the External and Environmental Threats to the Health and Well-being of Our Children?
A response to the threats to children’s health enumerated in Table 1 will require population-based, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral approaches to child health. Child health policy and advocacy expertise, data and data analysis, systems integration, use of legal systems, and social science resources will be required to understand and respond to the effects of these factors on children. No discipline or sector in isolation will be able to mobilize these resources, nor do they have the expertise to meet these challenges individually.
