Coller Index 325 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I have been very fortunate in my career to work with outstanding trainees at UCLA, including undergraduates, medical and graduate students, residents, and fellows. The impetus for this book came largely from the Community Health and Advocacy Training (CHAT) program in pediatrics, which I directed from 2000 through 2014, and my undergraduate Foundations of Maternal and Child Health course, which I have been teaching every year in the Fielding School of Public Health since 2009. I am proud of the fact that the US-based team for this book is comprised of either current or former trainees. The perspectives and approaches in this book are based on the questions asked by former students, and I hope it will help future students understand child health. I must acknowledge my mentors who taught me child health. First and foremost is Neal Halfon, who has supported my training and career from the beginning, and who continues to inspire me with his brilliance, optimism, and steadfast dedication to improving systems of care for children. Frank Oberklaid taught me about community child health while I was a med-peds resident and encouraged me to look beyond the United States at international models for child health. Bruce Fuller, Margaret Bridges, Alex Ortega, Mike Prelip, Deborah Glik, and Paul Shattuck are all great research collaborators and have furthered my thinking about children, families, and communities. Alan Fogelman has been a wonderful mentor and department chair, and I deeply appreciate his support of all of my endeavors. I am also incredibly grateful to Tom Tonniges, who brought me to work on child advocacy issues at the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2004. He has been a wonderful friend. I could not have worked on this book without the unwavering support of my family: my parents, my parents-in-law, my husband, John, and my boys, Matthew (age 7) and Noah (age 3). Their encouragement helps me strive to make the world a better place for children. —Alice A. Kuo ix
