Noise or Fugue: Seeking the Logic of Child Health Indicators.

Wise, Paul H.; Lowe, Janice A.

Mental Retardation, v30 n6 p323-29 Dec 1992

An analytic model is offered which assesses child health indicators in terms of three interacting determinants: social well-being, technical capacity to reduce the risk that low social status conveys, and access to this technical capacity. The paper examines political requirements of such indicators and illustrates how the indicators can remain stable while their determinants do not. (Author/JDD)
