• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Underserved minority children in the United States face a vicious cycle. They suffer from health disparities which affect their educational success; in turn, educational inequalities further the cycle of health problems. This book studies the links between social determinants of health and education simultaneously. With a stellar line-up of contributors, issues are tackled with quantitative evidence, from alcoholism, violence, anxiety, school policies and reforms, teacher proficiencies, and more. Special attention is given to African Americans.
