This paper thus uses nationally representative microdata surveys to provide a broad descriptive over-view of selected health outcomes for children (aged 2–13) living in Canada, England, Norway and the United States in the late 1990s – over-all and for potentially vulnerable children. If there are significant differences in patterns of child health status across similarly affluent countries with different levels and kinds of state spending, this will point to the need for future research directed at better understanding connections between policy and child health. Section "Comparing Child Health Outcomes" of the paper describes the health surveys employed and provides a comparison of over-all health status for children in the four countries. A range of child health outcomes, including aspects of both physical and emotional health are included. While second section compares health status for all children in the four countries, third section compares the health status of potentially 'vulnerable' children in each country (e.g., low-income children, children living in lone-mother or teen-mother families). |
