| Abstract | Maternal and Child Health: Programs, Problems, and Policy in Public Health, Third Edition takes a developmental approach to Maternal and CHild Health (MCH). Organized according to fundamental principles of MCH, this book covers traditional MCH topics such as family planning and maternal and infant health, in addition to skills that are applicable across Public Health disciplines such as planning, research, monitoring, and advocacy. Successfully tested in prestigious academic programs of Public Health, Maternal and CHild Health, Third Edition appeals to students across the health professions and those interested in women's health, reproductive health, maternal and infant health, and the health of children and adolescents--those with special needs. The Third Edition is a thorough update that includes: new chapters on environmental health, life course, oral health, and monitoring and evaluation; streamlined chapters on assessment and planning, MCH research, rights and justice, and advocacy and policy development; new and additional material on global health and health disparities in MCH; new material in life course theory; and new ancillary course material for instructors. |
