Book review: what works in reducing inequalities in child health?

The UK has a deservedly strong reputation for work on understanding social inequalities in health. But there is some way to go in ensuring that research and other types of knowledge are used to reduce inequalities in child health in particular. This updated edition of an important report looks at macro public policy interventions, community interventions, and individual level interventions in a variety of settings, and for a range of age ranges. Anne Lazenbatt values the new case studies, updated research, and reference to cost effectiveness – particularly relevant for doing the right thing in a climate of austerity.
