Abstract
RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR PROFESSIONALS TO ADDRESS poverty and the needs of the poor, the Council of Science Editors challenged journals to publish a theme issue on poverty in the Fall of 2007. Neonatal Network:® The Journal of Neonatal Nursing was one of the many nursing journals that responded to this important call. (See the article on “Poverty as Context for the Parenting Experience of Low-Income Lumbee Indian Mothers with a Medically Fragile Infant” in the November/December, 2007 issue. Available online October 22, 2007.) This focus on poverty is important since millions of children live in poverty in the U.S.1 Furthermore, it has been suggested that professionals may cognitively distance themselves from the poor through ignoring their unique challenges and needs and by stereotyping them with negative beliefs about their characteristics and their behaviors.2
