Abstract
The concept of 'community paediatrics', as enunciated by Robert Haggerty in 1968, has informed and shaped many paediatric careers. The principle tenets of inclusiveness: attention to unmet needs; addressing common health problems of children and youth; using and applying preventive and harm-reduction strategies; and securing community input and control, were part of the Haggerty model. The present article revisits Haggerty's model and describes how the concepts have shaped contemporary paediatrics in North America.Entities:
