This announcement should be of interest to CANCHID subscribers:

     The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has just published
     "Nutrition, Health, and Child Development: Research Advances and
     Policy Recommendations." Developed in partnership with the University
     of the West Indies' Tropical Metabolism Research Unit (TMRU), and with
     the collaboration of the World Bank, this book emphasizes an
     integrated approach to child development that considers how its
     building blocks--health, nutrition, and psychosocial
     stimulation--interact with one another.

     This publication examines how and to what extent nutrition, health,
     and stimulation programs can affect children's cognitive and social
     developments and their ability to learn in school. By examining recent
     research, the authors-all leading professionals working at the cutting
     edge of nutrition research-explore such topics as undernutrition, iron
     and iodine deficiencies, neonatal feeding, short-term food
     deprivation, parasitic infections, and psychosocial deprivation. They
     also review results from early childhood interventions, including
     nutritional supplementation and psychological stimulation, as well as
     interventions in later childhood, including school feeding and
     deworming programs.
