     This announcement should be of interest to Public-Health subscribers: 
          
     The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has just published 
     "Nutrition, Health, and Child Development: Research Advances and 
     Policy Recommendations." Developed in partnership with the University 
     of the West Indies' Tropical Metabolism Research Unit (TMRU), and with 
     the collaboration of the World Bank, this book emphasizes an 
     integrated approach to child development that considers how its 
     building blocks--health, nutrition, and psychosocial 
     stimulation--interact with one another.
          
     This publication examines how and to what extent nutrition, health, 
     and stimulation programs can affect children's cognitive and social 
     developments and their ability to learn in school. By examining recent 
     research, the authors-all leading professionals working at the cutting 
     edge of nutrition research-explore such topics as undernutrition, iron 
     and iodine deficiencies, neonatal feeding, short-term food 
     deprivation, parasitic infections, and psychosocial deprivation. They 
     also review results from early childhood interventions, including 
     nutritional supplementation and psychological stimulation, as well as 
     interventions in later childhood, including school feeding and 
     deworming programs.
