Promoting Healthy Children and Families in Connecticut: Part 1 of a 4-part Series: Health Problems in Infancy and Early Childhood

Recent data "suggest that about one in eight children from birth to 5 years old have some chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition." This report, and others to be issued in the series, calls "particular attention to the health problems experienced by Connecticut’s most vulnerable young children" and proposes early childhood investments in maternal prenatal care, children’s diet in infancy, and the urgent need for regular health care.

Child Health and Development Institute, March 2003
