— Donald M. Berwick, M.D., M.P.P., president and CEO, Institute for Healthcare Improvement, Boston, Massachusetts
"For too long, health services research has ignored childrens
health care issues and has been too theoretical to be useful in
real-life settings. This book addresses both concerns, making
health services research both pragmatic and relevant to improving
outcomes for children and families."
— Charles J. Homer, M.D., M.P.H., CEO, National Initiative
for Children's Healthcare Quality, Boston, Massachusetts
"This outstanding volume takes enormous strides forward in
showing how excellent social science and excellent medicine come
together for the betterment of children's health and well-being. A
must-read for professionals interested in how the socio-cultural
context and medicine come together in partnership."
— Jill E. Korbin, Ph.D., professor of anthropology and
associate dean of arts and sciences, Case Western Reserve
University, Cleveland, Ohio; codirector, Schubert Center for Child
Development; and director, Childhood Studies Program
"This volume provides a unique and important contribution to the
developing field of child health services research. Its focus on
practical issues in a community context will be extremely useful to
both the novice and more experienced researchers."
— Neal Halfon, M.D., M.P.H., professor of pediatrics and
public health, University of Southern California, and director of
the UCLA Center for Healthier Children, Families, and
Communities
