This book is a library essential for anyone who is studied in the field of MCH, or who just wants to familiarize themselves with the key issues of the discipline. As a MCH student, this is my ‘bible’, my go to reference for key information on scholars within the field, and a source of guidance on programming, and policy in MCH Public Health.
I highly recommend this book!

Current, well-written textbook – very detailed. Would be better if came in a softcover and had smaller print in order to save paper and reduce the list price.
