  • Title: Connecting the dots: developing a holistic picture of children's health.
    Journal: Issue Brief (Grantmakers Health); 2008 Nov; (32):i-v, 1-49. PubMed ID: 19688916.
    Abstract:
    Current definitions of child health transcend the historical biomedical model, which largely equated health with the absence of disease. Scientific evidence indicates that child health is best defined as the optimization of a child's developmental potential and functional capacity with interventions focused on maximizing protective factors and minimizing risk factors. This approach to child health recognizes the interplay among physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development and stresses the lifelong consequences of deficits in these developmental areas.
