A picture of Australian's children

The effects on child health and mortality are striking and the latest report from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), 'A picture of Australia's children', documents this coming trend. The fall in deaths from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) to a third of 1991 rates is a tribute to outstanding Australian child health research, as well as the work of child and family health nurses and the SIDS Council of Australia.
