Book excerpt: This revised edition of Helen Roberts' classic study of child health inequalities features new case studies, updated research references, and a new section on cost effectiveness--an important tool in an era of government spending cutbacks. Applying tools from a variety of disciplines and drawing on evidence from the UK and beyond, Roberts tests the effectiveness of public policy, community, and individual efforts to reduce health inequalities among children at different life stages--including infancy, early years, middle childhood, and adolescence--and to address the particular needs of disabled children.
