Special issue on child health and wellbeing

Part one of a special issue on the current and future state of child health and wellbeing in Aotearoa New Zealand has been published in the Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand.
As stated in the editorial: "Childhood and young adulthood are important stages of growing, learning and development. Yet, there are increasing pressures and challenges that children and young people face. These factors may adversely impact upon their health and wellbeing, and thereupon have long-lasting effects on our society as a whole.
"In order to highlight the pressures and challenges experienced by children and young people growing up in Aotearoa New Zealand, this special issueis the first of two volumes bringing together manuscripts focusing on aspects of health and welfare/wellbeing relevant to children and young people."
To make space for children and young people to have their voices heard, there is rangatahi Māori representation on the guest editorial team for this special issue, as well as inclusion of rangatahi Māori and other young people as authors of its constituent manuscripts.
All articles will remain freely accessible until 31 August 2022.
