A Child Health Survey of New York State: An Inquiry Into the Measures Being Taken in the Different Counties for Conserving the Health of Children; Conducted by the Child Welfare Committee of the New York State League of Women Voters (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
For those who are especially interested in the details of organization in a work of this kind, it seems desirable to give a brief account of the methods that were employed. .T he survey was under the direct supervision of Dr. S. Josephine Baker, Chairman of the Child Welfare Committee, and Dr. Dorothy C. Kempf, the Executive Secretary. Both Dr. Baker and Dr. Kempf had the technical experience and background requisite to conduct such a widespread scheme. It is the belief of the committee that similar studies ought not to be undertaken in other states without similar competent technical direction. Volunteer work on a large scale has not hitherto always shown successful results but we believe in this instance that the type of organization that was carried out, both in the central office and in the field, made it possible to conduct successfully what might easily have been a half-accomplished project. Feeling that other states might wish to follow the example of New York State in finding out just what is being done for children within their borders, it seems wise to outline briefly the methods of organization that were employed and found to be successful. The subject matter of the questionnaires was carefully thought out at the central office and was prepared under the technical supervision of the Committee and received its approval. The central office force consisted of Dr. Baker, in an advisory capacity, Dr. Kempf as executive secretary, Miss Sworts as field organizer and one stenographer, working in close cooperation with the Chairman of Organization of the League. The latter took advantage of the already organized forces of women within the State. A few temporary organizers were employed for a total of eight weeks. Practically all of the work, however, was done by the volunteers in the field. These numbered well over three thousand.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the extent of health provisions for children in New York State, with a main focus on infant and maternal care. The information was gathered through a statewide survey conducted by volunteers who visited schools and analyzed responses from questionnaires sent to county leaders. It covers the period from late 1920 to the fall of 1921, during which the impact of World War I and the high number of physical defects found in young men during the draft were driving national interest in child health. The book includes data on the laws pertaining to school medical inspections and discusses the efficacy of the enforcement of these laws and the extent to which local authorities were meeting the minimum requirements for child health. It also discusses the need for a larger unit of administration and taxation in rural areas, with a focus on the pros and cons of consolidating school districts, and the need for an expansion of the nursing profession and the establishment of clinics for children with specific health needs. The book concludes by emphasizing the need for cooperation between health departments and local communities in order to create a body of public opinion that will advocate for better healthcare for children. It was hoped that the data gathered and the conclusions drawn would spark legislative action and lead to practical improvements in public health.
