The Child Health & Development Track provides multidisciplinary training in the health and well-being of infants, children, and adolescents. Development and growth are emphasized from conception through adolescence. The biological, behavioral, social and psychological processes contributing to child health are studied, and the social, environmental, nutritional, physiological and economic factors that may enhance or impede well-being are considered. The determinants of child health and well-being, along with systems of care, are examined within an ecological framework that considers individual, family and community influences. In addition, the childhood antecedents of health and disease through the life span are explored, health services are reviewed, legislative and policy implications are analyzed and preventive strategies are critiqued.
