Infos

The Child and Adolescent Health volume discusses childhood chronic illnesses, chronic malnutrition, and cognitive development. It seeks to evolve beyond the acute and severe conditions traditionally addressed under the rubric of child health, and give emphasis to the longer run consequences of chronic conditions.

---

Child and Adolescent Health and Development explores the benefits that accrue from sustained and targeted interventions across the first two decades of life. The volume outlines the investment case for effective, costed, and scaleable interventions for low-resource settings, emphasising the cross-sectoral role of education. This evidence base can guide policy makers in prioritising actions to promote survival, health, cognition, and physical growth throughout childhood and adolescence.
