Maternal and Child Health, 2009Co-Authors: John E. EhiriAbstract:Identify and discuss the environmental, social, and political factors that influence Child Health in less-developed countries. Discuss the limitations of global Child Health policies and programs that are based mostly on vertical, disease-focused programs. Analyze the background to, and rationale for, the Alma Ata Declaration of Primary Health Care.

Federal Expenditures on Maternal and Child Health in the United States
Maternal and Child Health Journal, 2012Co-Authors: Mary Kay Kenney, Michael D. Kogan, Stephanie Toomer, Peter C. DyckAbstract:The goals of this study are to estimate federal maternal and Child Health (MCH) expenditures and identify their sources. This analysis is intended to provide a broad view of MCH funding appropriations and a basis for discussion of whether funds could be better utilized for the benefit of the population served. Data on federal maternal and Child Health expenditures for fiscal year (FY) 2006 were derived from examining federal legislation, department/agency budgets, and various web-based program documents posted by federal agencies. Based on selected criteria, we identified programs targeting Children under 21 or pregnant/parenting women within the United States. The funding levels of agency programs for maternal and Child Health activities were determined and the programs briefly summarized. The identifiable funding for maternal and Child Health programs in FY 2006 approached $57.5 billion dollars. Funding sources for maternal and Child Health were concentrated within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, but spread across several different agencies within the department and in the Departments of Defense, Education, Agriculture, Housing and Urban Development, and the Environmental Protection Agency. Multiple agencies and offices often funded related activities, without evidence of a common underlying strategy. Federal maternal and Child Health funding mechanisms may lead to a fragmentation in maternal and Child Health activities. The funding and service delivery apparatus would benefit from an integrative MCH infrastructure approach to pediatric research, service delivery, and data collection/access that incorporates life-course and social/environmental determinants perspectives.

Swedish Child Health care in a changing society.
Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences, 2005Co-Authors: Ann-christine Hallberg, Eva Lindbladh, Kerstin Petersson, Lennart Råstam, Anders HåkanssonAbstract:Background: Staff in Swedish Child Health care today feel a gap between policy and practice. By revealing the main lines in the development of Child Health care, we hoped to achieve a better understanding of the current trends and problems in today's Swedish Child Health care. Methods: A selection of official documents about the development of Child Health care during the period 1930–2000 was studied with the aid of discourse analysis. Results: Four discourses were identified, which serve as a foundation for a periodization of the development of Child Health care. In the first period the main task of Child Health care, alongside checking on the development of the Child, was to inform and educate the mothers. During the second period Health supervision became the crucial task, to identify risks and discover abnormalities and disabilities. The third period focused on the discussion concerning the identification of Health-related and social ‘risk groups’, and the work of Child Health care was increasingly geared to supervision of the parents’ care of their Children. Parents were to be given support so that they could cope with their difficulties by themselves. During the current period Child Health care is increasingly expected to direct its work towards the Child's surroundings and the family as a whole and is now explicitly defined as an institution that should strengthen parents’ self-esteem and competence. The level of responsibility for the Child's Health changed gradually during the different periods, from public responsibility to parental responsibility. The focus of efforts in Child Health care was changed from being general in the first and second periods to general and selective in period three, and then gradually becoming selective again in period four. While control of the Child's physical Health was central during the first two periods, psychosocial Health came into focus in the last two, along with the importance of supporting the parents to enable them to handle their difficulties by themselves. Concluding remarks: We noted that it was difficult to translate policy recommendations into practice. One reason was the shifting focus in Child Health care from the Child's physical Health to psychosocial problems which in itself meant a shift from descriptions of concrete and well-defined duties to more abstract and general descriptions of tasks which are by definition open to interpretation. Another reason for the noted difficulty was the transition from unambiguously described measures in terms of paternalistic regulation to more participatory and at the same time more expansive definitions of roles and responsibilities.

Big differences in Swedish Child Health care. Child Health care units decide their services--alarming that a national program is missing
Läkartidningen, 2020Co-Authors: Margaretha Magnusson, Anncharlotte Lindfors, Johanna TellAbstract:At present there is no national program for Child Health services in Sweden. The profession has now started work on the issue and in 2009 the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs commissioned the National Board of Health and Welfare to ensure the creation, dissemination and continual revision of guidelines, recommendations and summaries of the present knowledge regarding Child Health services. In the spring of 2010 an internet-based questionnaire was distributed to all Child Health services units in Sweden in order to assess the egality of the Child Health programs provided and which Health surveillance methods were offered within the basic Child Health program. Although the Swedish Child Health services are often described as being universal and equivalent, the results show a great disparity in the range, methods and follow up of the services provided in different parts of the country.
