Health implies broad and positive aspects of life, well beyond disease and medical care. It is clearly expressed in the constitution of the WHO, and has been clarified in the Health for All strategy, emphasizing health promotion as a basic means to enable people to increase control over their health. The study of the broad and complex issues of population health is called public health; it naturally also includes children and their special needs. The ideology of Health for All, the science of public health and the imperatives of children's health are integrated in Social Pediatrics. Its task is to place the health of children in a full social, economic and political context, using inter-disciplinary, interprofessional and inter-sector cooperation with the children and their parents as the basis for all activities. After relating a few successes of socio-pediatric actions on a national level, the focus is directed towards health promotion issues that are especially significant for children and young persons, i.e. fundamental, academic and practical issues. The way ahead for children's health promotion and for Social Pediatrics lies in the readiness to anticipate change and to adapt to new societal needs.
健康意味着生活中广泛而积极的方面，远远超出疾病和医疗保健的范畴。这在世界卫生组织的章程中得到了明确表述，并在“人人享有健康”战略中得到了进一步阐明，该战略强调健康促进是使人们能够增强对自身健康控制能力的基本手段。对广泛而复杂的人群健康问题的研究被称为公共卫生；它自然也包括儿童及其特殊需求。“人人享有健康”的理念、公共卫生科学以及儿童健康的必要性都融入了社会儿科学之中。其任务是将儿童健康置于全面的社会、经济和政治背景下，以与儿童及其父母开展跨学科、跨专业和跨部门合作为所有活动的基础。在讲述了一些国家层面社会儿科行动的成功案例后，重点转向对儿童和青少年特别重要的健康促进问题，即基础、学术和实际问题。儿童健康促进和社会儿科学的未来之路在于愿意预见变化并适应新的社会需求。
