Abstract

THE value of the state reports of the Study of Child Health Services continues to be reflected in activities within the states under the leadership of the Academy. A brochure under the heading "Child Health Is Everybody's Business" has just appeared and describes progress and goals in New York State. This booklet is based upon the state survey and more recent recommendations of the State Citizen's Committee for Children and Youth. It is illustrated in lively fashion and will undoubtedly play an important role in the improvement of child health, not only in New York State but elsewhere as well. Its value cannot be fully appreciated without the visual stimulus of its illustrations by Barbara Pfeiffer of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company staff. Nevertheless it has been so thoughtfully prepared that, with the approval of the state group, we have summarized it in the following pages. "Child Health Is Everybody's Business" is being given a very broad distribution throughout New York State. Individual copies are being sent to each member of the American Academy of Pediatrics within the State. The Medical Society of the State of New York has sent several copies to each County Medical Society, with the suggestion that additional copies be used by the members of committees on child health and on school health.
