Synopsis:
Many of the diseases and conditions that strike adult South Carolinians at alarmingly high rates develop over a lifetime, including childhood and adolescence. In "Our Health: The Early Years", moderator Carolyn Sawyer, an expert panel and an active studio audience identify and discuss children's health issues. From inadequate pre-natal care to high-risk adolescent behavior, what are the greatest risks to our children's health? How do habits and attitudes developed during childhood set the stage for a lifetime of good (or poor) health? How do we educate parents and children to reduce their risk from a range of health-related issues? What resources and programs are available to improve the health and well-being of our children? Is public policy an effective means of promoting good health? The answers to these and other questions may surprise you.
