She shows how children actively seek to \"get closer\" to ill guardians by providing good care. Both children and ill adults define good care as attentiveness of the young to adults' physical needs, the ability to carry out treatment and medication programs in the home, and above all, the need to maintain physical closeness and proximity. Children understand that losing their guardians will not only be emotionally devastating, but that such loss is likely to set them adrift in Zambian society, where education and advancement depend on maintaining familial, reciprocal relationships. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eView a gallery of images from the book (https: \/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/childrenascaregivers)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJEAN HUNLETH is an assistant professor in the Division of Public Health Sciences at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 8.77 x 6.05 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 03, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52239337554194,"sku":"9780813588032","price":78.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/cHFkaVlvZVVTRS9oYzZtSkhicU5VQT09.webp?v=1777875957","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/children-as-caregivers-the-global-fight-against-tuberculosis-and-hiv-in-zambia-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
