"CHILD HEALTH SUPERVISION–IS IT WORTH IT?" A RESPONSE

Dr. Yankauer's statement that "the methods of child health supervision deserve to be based upon scientific study of their effectiveness and efficiency rather than on outmoded traditions and current fashionable methods"1 is indisputable. Such a study, though difficult to design, is possible. Of necessity the study would be longitudinal, continuing, and costly. Hopefully, conclusions drawn from it could justify the effort.
 Others have challenged the sacrosanct methods of child health supervision. The unpublished Schedule for Preventive Health Care (Child Health Supervision) for Children and Youth promulgated by the Committee on Standards of Child Health Care of the American Academy of Pediatrics2 suggests fewer visits to physicians' offices or clinics than have any previous schedules.
