  • Title: A historically based thought experiment: meeting new challenges for children's health and well-being.
    Author: Golden J, Markel H.
    Journal: Health Aff (Millwood); 2007; 26(2):445-9. PubMed ID: 17339672.
    Abstract:
    In fall 2004 we proposed a way to use the lessons of the past to inform U.S. children's health policy, given the increasingly critical needs of children in this country. Continuing in that tradition and beyond, we describe here the founding and early work of the Children's Bureau and consider how it might be a model for the near future. We propose the creation of a Department of Children's Affairs (DoCA), which would unite the various federal agency-level initiatives aimed at children's health and well-being, much as the Department of Homeland Security did for terrorism defense activities after 9/11.
