This discussion reviews the clinical expression of poverty in childhood and assesses the clinical and political capacity to reduce its tragic impact.
Abstract
Poverty is now more heavily concentrated in children than at any other time in U.S. history. Poverty's influence on child health is pervasive and creates a variety of clinical challenges. This discussion reviews the clinical expression of poverty in childhood and assesses our clinical and political capacity to reduce its tragic impact.
