title: Breaking the links between social deprivation and poor child health.
abstract: Shirley Goodwin outlines the evidence demonstrating the links between social deprivation and poor child health outcomes and the sorts of policies and interventions which might break them, with special reference to the provision of social support. She points out the challenges for health visitors and school nurses developing their work in this area in the context of the NHS reforms and the new systems for contracting services.
