How is Pediatric Care Adapting to Societal Changes?
Societal changes, including evolving family dynamics and increased awareness of gender identity issues, are influencing pediatric care. Pediatricians are now more attuned to the needs of LGBTQ+ youth and the importance of creating a supportive environment. Additionally, addressing social determinants of health such as poverty, housing instability, and access to education is becoming an integral part of pediatric care.
