This four-part series provides an overview of children?s health in Canada
and prospects for the future. It does so through a population
health approach that is informed by a social determinants of health
perspective. Part I provides some key indicators of
Canadian children?s health at the national and provincial levels, and
presents them within a comparative international perspective.
Part II highlights the mechanisms and pathways by which children?s health
becomes shaped by their living conditions and the public
policies that create these living conditions. Part III explores the social
determinants of children?s health and considers their quality
within various governmental policy frameworks. Part IV considers the role
physicians can play in improving the quality of the social
determinants of health, thereby improving Canadian children?s health.
