“…Risk and protective factors are classified from 'proximal to distal' or similar nomenclature that implies an environmental hierarchy.

Developmental vulnerability – don't investigate without a model in mind

Children who are developmentally vulnerable are at risk of a difficult start to school, and ongoing educational challenges which may adversely impact on long term health outcomes. Clinicians, researchers and service providers need a thorough understanding of both risk and protective factors and their complex interplay to understand their impact on early childhood development, in order to plan effective and comprehensive prevention and interventions strategies. In this opinion piece we recommend that investigation of developmental vulnerability should only proceed if underpinned by both a theoretical model through which the interaction between risk and protective factors may be investigated, and analytical models that are appropriate to assess these impacts.

“…82,83 Economic Capital Economic investment of a country or community's wealth in children has a direct effect on the health and wellbeing of children. [84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91] Children who live in poverty have poorer health and outcomes related to virtually every measure of well-being. 7,[20][21][22][23] Income inequality also seems to have a negative effect on child and adult health.…”

“…84,85 Public policies that transfer wealth directly to families, and in particular to children, in the form of cash subsidies or services (eg, child care, medical care, food support, extended paid maternity leave, child allowances, housing subsidies) have a positive effect on children. 86,88 Indirect investment in children through expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit, for example, has the potential to lift families out of poverty and improve the well-being of children. 87 Comparisons between economically developed countries consistently show a direct relationship between wealth transfer and children's well-being.…”

Many children in the United States fail to reach their full health and developmental potential. Disparities in their health and well-being result from the complex interplay of multiple social and environmental determinants that are not adequately addressed by current standards of pediatric practice or public policy. Integrating the principles and practice of child health equity—children's rights, social justice, human capital investment, and health equity ethics—into pediatrics will address the root causes of child health disparities. Promoting the principles and practice of equity-based clinical care, child advocacy, and child- and family-centered public policy will help to ensure that social and environmental determinants contribute positively to the health and well-being of children. The American Academy of Pediatrics and pediatricians can move the national focus from documenting child health disparities to advancing the principles and practice of child health equity and, in so doing, influence the worldwide practice of pediatrics and child health. All pediatricians, including primary care practitioners and medical and surgical subspecialists, can incorporate these principles into their practice of pediatrics and child health. Integration of these principles into competency-based training and board certification will secure their assimilation into all levels of pediatric practice.

“…A good health status enhances the participation of individuals, while participation is found to lead to a better health status and well-being in general (National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, 2013). Poverty is known to have a negative impact on participation and health (Attree, 2006;Cosgrove, 2007;Gibson et al, 2018;Lucas et al, 2008). That is why we used the relationship in the Health-Participation-Poverty triangle as a background principle (figure 1.1).…”

The city hall that I visited first was this glorious, restored building, the kind that is often to be seen in Vaals. Imagine the famous three-country point with the labyrinth, the large towers with the amazing view over Vaals and the hilly landscape. And these idyllic landscapes with the walking and cycling tracks and beautiful old architecture, and of course the delicious ice cream for which I frequently visited Vaals when I was younger. My impression was the same as when I was little and that is described almost everywhere on the internet as 'this idyllic town'… Excited and a bit nervous, this time I entered the municipality that I had been visiting since my early childhood. But today I was wearing a different pair of glasses. The glasses of a researcher with the aim of initiating and exploring community engagement processes. I was going to work with families living below or around the poverty line. Although it does not seem to be the case at first glance, poverty is an issue in Vaals. While getting to know Vaals, the professionals employed there, and some of the families involved, the contradiction between 'this idyllic town' and the underlying issue of poverty became more visible to me. I had discovered the 'two faces of Vaals'. Poverty from a historical point of view: how did it get this far? The municipality of Vaals (Vallis) was first mentioned in historical records in the year 1041. After that, it took until the 18th century before Vaals became visible again in the records. In that time, Vaals was known for its thriving industr...
