- Summary:
-
The first of a series of hearings on child health issues was held in an effort to obtain a better understanding of the causes of the United States' low rank among industrial nations on indices of child health and prosperity and of models other nations use to improve children's health care, access to delivery systems, and cost containment. Contents of the report provide: (1) an introductory discussion and fact sheet on child health in developed nations; (2) a minority fact sheet on the same topic; (3) a general discussion of what can be learned from other industrial nations; (4) a description of a home visiting program in England that provides families with support and guidance regardless of family income; (5) a discussion of Canada's universal health insurance system; (6) a description of the work of maternal and child health teams that perform routine physical examinations for all children who attend the universally available preschool in France; (7) an overview of operational aspects of preventive pediatric services provided in health stations in every Norwegian community; (8) a description of the preventive health care system in the Netherlands; and (9) a report of research findings on the preventive health services for children in 10 Western European nations. A panel discussion and a statement on the main cause of and remedies for the United States' child health problem conclude the report. (RH)
