Health promotion and prevention play a special role in childhood and adolescence. On one hand, because children's health is influenced by social and environmental factors; on the other hand, because health issues in childhood can have long-term effects and can be better prevented through early intervention than through late interventions. Primary caregivers, as well as settings such as daycare centers or schools, are of great importance in this context. The book provides comprehensive foundational knowledge to promote children's health and actively participate in prevention in both traditional and new areas of care.
