The authors present the findings of empirical research into the health and social circumstances of 61 Australian children\/adolescents, as reported by healthcare professionals who attended to their medical needs, revealing how healthcare professionals deal with health inequity on the ground. Profound inequities in the health and wellbeing of children\/adolescents worldwide have been the focus of intense research for decades. The extent to which children\/adolescents' health and wellbeing is impacted by violence, poverty, their inability to access integrated healthcare services, parental and adolescent substance abuse, unemployment, poor living conditions, poor nutrition, a fractured social support network, disrupted education and lack of transportation, is widely recognized. While essential, statistical analyses alone cannot reveal the faces of those experiencing health inequity. Through empirically-rich, qualitative analyses, this work highlights means of meeting the demand that health inequity be addressed so that children and young people have a chance to lead a full life in good health. It is relevant to researchers and practitioners whose work relates to improving children and young people's lives.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eThis book should be required reading for those who influence policies developed by all the sectors mentioned above and their funding and administrative bodies - and politicians in particular\u003c\/i\u003e\" (Anonymous Reviewer).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vicki Xafis, Amireh Fakhouri, Kathryn Currow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9811633401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789811633409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.39d","brand":"Vicki Xafis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069332091135,"sku":"9789811633409","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c22bbd9-b587-4e1d-b698-e6cf94790204.jpg?v=1685424129","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/health-inequity-experienced-by-australian-vicki-xafis-9789811633409","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
