Bright Futures: Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children, and Adolescents

These guidelines were developed by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau and the American Academy of Pediatrics "to provide comprehensive health supervision guidelines, including recommendations on immunizations, routine health screenings, and anticipatory guidance. The major risks to children's health and development, particularly after infancy, are largely preventable. The leading cause of death for children over age 1 is injury, including motor vehicle crashes, firearms, and drowning. Well-child care (or health supervision) provides a vehicle for health professionals to promote healthy lifestyle choices, monitor children for physical and behavioral pathology, and provide age appropriate and individualized counseling (or anticipatory guidance)."
