This wonderful book tells us we know a lot about inequalities in children's health but less about what to do. It presents information and ideas to help make these decisions. --Professor Terence Stephenson, President, Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. This superbly crafted book is essential reading for all those wishing to right some serious wrongs in our society. Roberts puts the evidence and the power in our hands. --Penny Hawe, Population Health Intervention Research Centre University of Calgary, Canada. This book is a compelling comprehensive read, providing context and solutions to child health inequalities based on evidence and rights, engendering hope for long term systemic changes and child health improvements. --Elizabeth Waters, The Jack Brockhoff Child Health and Wellbeing Program and The McCaughey Centre, University of Melbourne, Australia. Highly accessible. This book should be required reading for public health students and it would be a good addition to many social policy reading lists. --Critical Public Health journal This is a welcome and much needed second edition volume that collects the author's considerable research experience into an evidence base concerning what works in reducing inequalities in children's health - It will be invaluable to researchers, policy makers, and all those who care about improving our understanding of the impact of inequalities on children and who work towards creating prevention and intervention services for children. It is also highly recommended reading for undergraduates and graduate students interested in studying evidence-based material around inequalities in health and its effects on children.
