In this book, specialists in the field of child health determine what procedures should form part of the routine examination of healthy children. A program is proposed to detect developmental problems and defects in the most efficient way while at the same time emphasizing the role of accident prevention, health education, and developmental guidance. The conclusions published here are based on both a detailed study of extensive literature and on consultations with experts in various fields. Throughout the report, areas of uncertainty are highlighted and suggestions for further research are offered. For the first time, pediatricians, health visitors, nurses and general practitioners have come to an agreed policy statement as to precisely what examination procedures and health promotion activities can be justified on the basis of present scientific evidence. Thus, the book is essential reading for anyone responsible for the promotion of child health in the community.Hall, David M. is the author of 'Health for All Children: A Program for Child Health Surveillance', published 1989 under ISBN 9780192618153 and ISBN 0192618156.
