Health professionals who care for children will find a thoughtful and hands-on resource to address racism and race-related issues in their practices in this essay collection. Leading experts from across disciplines frame the issues and provide practical information on prevention, intervention, and anticipatory guidance. Each chapter is grounded in the recommendations outlined in the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) policy statement The Impact of Racism on Child and Adolescent Health. The AAP is committed to reducing the ongoing costs and burden of racism to children, the health care system, and society--this book is an important contribution to that effort and ongoing conversation.
