Breaking the Cycle to Restore Equity: Societal Evolution of Children’s Health Disparities includes eleven chapters that detail the risk factors and environmental health disparities that effect pediatric patients. In this book, there is the goal of ensuring that all children can fully benefit from societal resources and reach their full potential as contributing members of society. Risk factors and environmental health disparities are discussed in the context of vulnerable pediatric patients, such as: disadvantaged neighborhoods, municipal solid waste (MSW), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination in water, staphylococcus aureus (S aureus), and pediatric eye disease and blindness. With this, it is recognized that there is a collective responsibility to make positive changes in ‘breaking the cycle’ and reducing children’s health disparities.
