Developed through the collaboration of four multidisciplinary panels of experts, these guidelines outline the content of each health supervision visit during the stages of infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence, paying particular attention to disease detection, disease prevention, health promotion, and anticipatory guidance. The third edition adds an opening section on the ten health promotion themes and discussions of mental health, healthy weight, cultural competence, and special health care needs.
