Public Health Challenge

Breastfeeding has made a huge comeback as its medical benefits became widely known—so much so that non-breastfeeding mothers often feel scorned and judged. Proponents of breastfeeding also contend that it makes children smarter and better behaved, and here is where the data get a little more complicated. This chapter will review the evidence that breastfeeding actually causes improved behavior and intelligence and examine the claims of some that these advantages are overstated. It will also explore an important “it depends” hypothesis that the developmental benefits of breastfeeding may be strongest for mothers who are less likely to do it in the first place—an interesting and important public health challenge.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains an important public health challenge globally and in Australia. For the more than 10 million people who become sick with TB each year, the disease can cause immense personal and economic hardship, including loss of income and education through ill health, prolonged and arduous treatment, and stigmatisation – perpetuating a cycle of disadvantage. Past efforts to control TB have taught us much about modern disease control and public health. As the world grapples with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the response to TB provides valuable lessons which can inform our response to COVID-19.
