CHILD WELL-BEING IN RICH COUNTRIES
A recent United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) report of child well-being in 21 countries placed the UK last (the US was 20th). Nick Spenser reviews the key elements of this report, highlighting the six dimensions that UNICEF considered—material well-being, health and safety, educational well-being, family and peer relationships, behaviours and risks, and subjective well-being. Each dimension was assessed using different indicators, very few of which relate to "traditional healthcare." At the end of the article, Dr Spencer highlights both what individual paediatricians as well as the College should do in attempt to promote and enhance child well-being in the UK.

They describe how the programme was developed, and present preliminary data of changes in baseline BMI in 27 children and their parents
