Public Policy, Child Development Research and Boys at Risk: Challenging, Enduring and Necessary Partnership
Research findings documenting the issues and challenges of boys prebirth through age 5 years have barely penetrated the arena of public policy making nor has it permeated the public agenda of politicians, government, or other funding stakeholders. The purpose of this article is to articulate pathways for researchers to enter into the policy‐making process. We review critical issues related to implementing the process of public policy. We argue th…

Yet most studies of child developmentfocus on European American, middle‐class samples and do not consider the actual ecology of children's development. Such studies have limited applicability for developing, delivering, or sustain…
