In fall 2004 we proposed a way to use the lessons of the past to inform U.S. children's health policy, given the increasingly critical needs of children in this country. Continuing in that tradition and beyond, we describe here the founding and early work of the Children's Bureau and consider how it might be a model for the near future. We propose the creation of a Department of Children's Affairs (DoCA), which would unite the various federal agency-level initiatives aimed at children's health and well-being, much as the Department of Homeland Security did for terrorism defense activities after 9/11.
鉴于美国儿童日益迫切的需求，2004年秋，我们提出了一种借鉴过去经验来为美国儿童健康政策提供参考的方法。秉承并超越这一传统，我们在此描述儿童局的创立及早期工作，并探讨它如何能够成为近期的典范。我们提议设立儿童事务部（DoCA），该部门将整合旨在促进儿童健康和福祉的各类联邦机构层面的举措，就如同国土安全部在9·11事件后整合反恐防御活动那样。
